This is a cable shear designed for clean cable cutting in electrical installation, service work, and shop prep. At 200 mm overall length, it gives you enough leverage for serious cable work while still staying easy to carry in a pouch or bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe big story here is the twin cutting edge. Instead of forcing the whole cable through one basic cutting zone, the front cutter profile starts the cut in the insulation sheath and the rear profile finishes the conductor. That matters when you are working on larger cable sizes because it helps the tool cut more smoothly, keeps hand force down, and reduces the crushing and deformation you often get from general-purpose cutters. Knipex rates it for copper cable up to 20 mm diameter or 70 mm² multiple-stranded copper cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe scissor-style cutting action is another practical advantage. On cable, you want a clean end that is easier to terminate, easier to route, and less likely to fray. These shears are built to give a smooth, even cut rather than mashing the cable flat. If you are trimming feeder wire, control cable, or larger stranded conductors, that cleaner result saves time on the next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eKnipex backs that cutting performance with precision-ground, hardened blades and a forged body made from high-grade special tool steel that is oil-hardened. In plain terms, this is not a throwaway cutter. It is built for repeated use by electricians, low-voltage installers, maintenance techs, and anyone who cuts copper or aluminum cable often enough to notice the difference between a clean shear cut and a crushed one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eJobsite usability is handled well too. The favorable lever ratio helps keep effort reasonable, and the adjustable bolted joint is designed with a self-retaining screw so the action can stay tight and controlled over time. A pinch guard helps protect fingers during use, and the plastic-coated handles give you a straightforward, durable grip. This model is \u003cstrong\u003enot insulated\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it is a cutting tool for properly de-energized work, not a live-line tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eJust as important is knowing what it is not for. The Knipex Cable Shear with Twin Cutting Edge 200mm is made for copper and aluminum cable only. It is not suitable for steel wire, ACSR, or hard-drawn copper conductors. That limitation is not a downside so much as an honest boundary: use it on the material it was designed for, and you get the clean cut and low effort this tool is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIf your work involves panel wiring, electrical rough-in, controls, service upgrades, equipment installation, or general cable prep, this is the kind of cutter that earns its spot fast. It is especially useful for pros who want better cut quality than standard diagonal cutters can deliver on larger cable, and for serious DIY users who would rather buy one proper cable cutter than fight the wrong tool every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-1\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClean Cuts on Larger Cable\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\/2026052175_4.jpg\" alt=\"Knipex Cable Shear with Twin Cutting Edge 200mm cutting a large stranded electrical cable in a close-up shop application\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n          \u003cp\u003eThis cutter is built to leave cable ends neat instead of flattened.
