Tesoura para cabos Knipex 9532038, ferramenta de corte por catraca para cabos

Knipex 9532038 cable shears are ratchet‑action cutting pliers engineered for safe, controlled cutting of insulated and multi‑core cables. The compact tool features a ratchet mechanism that reduces required hand force and allows progressive cutting of thicker conductors, making it suitable for repetitive work in electrical installation, network and telecommunications projects, and general maintenance tasks where precise cable separation is required.

Advantages

The ratchet mechanism provides stepwise cutting control, enabling clean cuts with less hand strain and improved safety. Hardened cutting blades remain sharp under frequent use and deliver precise, burr‑free ends on copper and aluminium conductors with insulation. The compact design improves access in confined spaces, while ergonomic handles offer secure grip and better control during repetitive operations.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated power and control cables during electrical installation
• Preparing network and telecommunication cables on site
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring precise cable lengthing and separation
• Work in confined spaces where a compact cutting tool is needed
• Repeated cutting operations where reduced hand fatigue is beneficial

Key specifications

• Tool type: ratchet‑action cable shears for insulated and multi‑core cables
• Cutting principle: progressive ratchet mechanism reducing hand force
• Blade material: hardened cutting edges for durable performance
• Suitable conductor types: copper and aluminium cables (insulated)
• Design: compact, handheld pliers with ergonomic handles for improved grip

How to use

Position the cable between the cutting blades, ensuring the insulation to be cut is aligned with the blade edge. Squeeze the handles to engage the ratchet; release and reapply pressure as the mechanism advances the blades until the cable is fully cut. For thicker conductors, make incremental ratchet cycles rather than a single forceful squeeze to maintain control and prevent damage to the conductor. Inspect the cut end and, if necessary, trim remaining insulation or burrs with an appropriate tool.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure the cable is de‑energized before cutting. Select the Knipex ratchet cable shears for tasks requiring controlled, repeatable cuts; avoid cutting live conductors or materials outside the tool's intended range. Regularly inspect blades for wear and sharpen or replace the tool when cutting quality declines.
