The KNIPEX StepCut 1000V cable cutter is a VDE-tested, high-performance cutting tool solution for electrical professionals. With a compact length of 160 mm, this cutter combines efficiency and manageability, ideal for cutting Cu and Al multi-conductor cables up to a diameter of 15 mm (50 mm²) as well as solid Cu and Al cables up to 5 x 4 mm². The innovative step-cut technology allows for cutting conductors one after another, thereby reducing the effort required by up to 40% compared to standard cable cutters of the same length.
The ergonomic handle design ensures optimal cutting feel even with larger cable diameters, while the screwed joint provides precise, smooth, and durable operation. A pinch guard enhances work safety. The cutting edges are additionally induction-hardened and achieve a hardness of approximately 56 HRC, however, the tool is not suitable for steel wire and hard-drawn copper conductors.
The tool is made of high-quality tool steel, chrome-plated, and features insulated, two-color multi-component grip covers in red and yellow. The cable cutter complies with the strict standards of DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900, ensuring its use under voltages up to AC 1000V and DC 1500V.
