About Product Overview

Knipex built these cable shears with a StepCut blade design, which staggers the cutting edge so it draws thick cable into the jaws instead of letting it slip away under pressure. That matters when you're cutting copper or aluminum cable up to 1 inch in diameter — a straight blade tends to squash soft cable rather than shear it cleanly. At 6.29 inches long, this is a compact tool you can keep in a pouch or toolbox without it taking up much room.

The cushion grip handles give you a secure hold whether your hands are dry, sweaty, or wearing light gloves, which counts for something when you're applying real force to cut through heavy-gauge wire. Electricians, cable installers, and anyone doing panel or service work will find this a faster, cleaner alternative to hacksaws or standard side cutters for this size of cable. Made in Germany and finished in Knipex's red housing, it's carded for easy hanging storage.

  • Maximum wire/cable size: 1 inch
  • Overall length: 6.29 inches
  • StepCut blade design for gripping thick cable while cutting
  • Cushion grip handles for secure control
  • Weight: 0.46 lb
  • Made in Germany

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

Ask our counter. Or theirs.

Most hardware stores can do more than you think. If we can't help you, the folks down the street probably can — just ask at the counter.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a familiar banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
