Corta-cabos Knipex 95 18 225 VDE, punhos isolados, comprimento 225 mm

The Cable cutters Knipex 95 18 225 VDE are hand-held cutting pliers with an overall length of 225 mm and VDE-insulated red/yellow handles designed for safe electrical work. These cutters are intended for clean trimming of multi-core and single-core cables used in installation and maintenance tasks. Hardened cutting edges and a precisely aligned joint ensure reliable cutting performance while ergonomic handles support controlled force application and reduced hand fatigue.

Advantages

Insulated handles certified to VDE requirements provide protection against accidental contact with live parts within the stated voltage rating. The hardened cutting edges retain sharpness for repeated use and produce smooth cuts without crushing conductor strands. Compact 225 mm length offers good access in confined spaces and the balanced weight distribution facilitates single-hand operation. The tool is made of corrosion-resistant materials for durability in workshop and site environments.

Suitable for

• Cutting multi-core electrical cables in installation work
• Trimming single-core wires during maintenance and repair
• Use by electricians and technicians working on live-equipment circuits when insulated tools are required
• General wiring tasks in residential, commercial and light industrial settings

Key specifications

• Overall length: 225 mm
• Insulated handles: VDE-rated, red/yellow
• Cutting edge: hardened for durability
• Tool type: hand-held cable cutters / cutting pliers
• Typical applications: multi-core and single-core cable cutting

How to use

Position the cable between the cutting edges close to the joint for a controlled cut. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the conductor is severed, avoiding twisting motions that could fray strands. For thicker cables, make progressive cuts or use an appropriate sequence to avoid overloading the tool. After use, store the cutters in a dry place and inspect cutting edges for damage before each use.

Recommendations

Verify the VDE insulation rating and the maximum permitted voltage for the specific model before using the tool on live circuits. Do not use the cutters on hardened steel, piano wire, or other materials beyond the intended scope, and replace the tool if cutting edges are chipped or deformed.
