KNIPEX 9" StepCut XL Cable Shears

KNIPEX 9" StepCut XL Cable Shears

9" StepCut® XL cable shears with a high-leverage joint and long handles for easier cutting than compact shears. Dual cutting areas cut through solid copper or aluminum up to 2 AWG, stranded up to 2/0 AWG and fine-stranded up to 4/0 AWG. Slim head and adjustable bolted joint allow easy one- or two-hand use, and a pinch guard helps protect fingers. Laser-hardened cutting edges and forged, oil-hardened special tool steel ensure durability.
