This is a wire rope shear designed for cutting stranded wire rope and cable in automotive and similar maintenance applications. Model Number 95 62 160 SBA. If you need a hand tool that handles small-diameter cable cleanly without crushing it flat, this is the kind of cutter you reach for instead of general-purpose side cutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe big selling point here is cutting ability matched to real cable sizes. Based on the provided product data, these shears cut high-strength wire ropes up to 5\/32 inch and cable up to 3\/16 inch. That matters because stranded cable can be tough on standard cutters, often leaving a frayed end or requiring extra hand force. A tool built specifically for wire rope gives you better bite, better control, and less time fighting the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eKnipex also uses a high-transmission joint design that makes cutting 20% easier. That is not just a number on a spec sheet. On the job, it means the handles do more of the work for you, especially when you are making repeated cuts or working in awkward positions. For a compact 6.25 inch class cutter, leverage is what separates a useful cable cutter from one that stays in the drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe design details shown in the product data and images back that up. You get a spring-assisted opening action for faster repetition, plus a thumb lock so the tool stays closed when it is riding in a pouch, glove box, or service bag. The handles are plastic-coated for grip and control, and the tool keeps a compact overall length of 6.64 inches, which makes it easier to carry than larger shop-only cable cutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIn practical use, this Knipex cutting pliers model fits technicians and tradespeople who need a dedicated cable cutting solution without stepping up to a much larger tool. Automotive work is the clearest use case in the provided data, but it also makes sense anywhere small wire rope or cable needs a clean hand-cut. It is not insulated, does not include a crimping feature, and is focused on one job: cutting cable and wire rope efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIf you are comparing options, the reason to buy the Knipex 95 62 160 SBA Wire Rope Shears is simple. It gives you purpose-built cutting geometry, reduced effort from the transmission joint, and a compact size that is easy to keep close at hand. For users cutting control cable, wire rope, or similar stranded material, that combination is usually worth more than having a more general tool that does the job poorly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCut Wire Rope Cleanly\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.anglera.com\/assets\/74d6ed76-fe0d-4d23-a9db-1f8749ca9ef2\/2026052178_4.jpg\" alt=\"Knipex 95 62 160 SBA wire rope shears cutting stranded wire rope in a close-up shop demonstration\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis is where a dedicated wire rope cutter earns its keep.
