Knipex Cable Cutter (Ratchet Action)
Knipex 250mm ratchet action cable cutter for copper and aluminium cable, with a cutting capacity of up to 240mm² and 32mm diameter. The ratchet mechanism is the defining feature, a two-stage ratchet drive cuts large-section cable with a fraction of the hand force a single-stroke cutter requires, making clean cuts on substantial conductors achievable with one hand and without the effort that exhausts both the operator and the blade on a conventional cable cutter. Precision-ground hardened blades deliver a clean, deformation-free cut every time, and the compact 250mm body keeps the tool manageable even in restricted access situations.

Knipex Cable Cutter (Ratchet Action)
- Two-stage ratchet drive for low-effort large-section cutting — The ratchet mechanism works through the cut in two stages, dramatically reducing the hand force required to cut through large copper and aluminium conductors; cutting 240mm² cable cleanly in a single stroke demands considerable force from a conventional cutter — the ratchet action distributes that work across multiple strokes and makes it achievable with one hand and without the effort that damages both operator and blade
- Cuts up to 240mm² and 32mm diameter Cu and Al cable — Handles single conductors and multi-stranded copper and aluminium cable across a broad capacity range; suitable for conductor classes 1 and 2 per DIN EN 60228/VDE 0295, covering the solid and stranded formats encountered in power cable installation, switchgear work, and commercial electrical projects; not suitable for steel wire, wire ropes, or highly flexible fine-stranded conductors
- Precision-ground hardened blades for clean deformation-free cuts — The blades are precision-ground and hardened to deliver a clean, smooth cut through the conductor cross section without crushing or deforming the cable end; in professional electrical installation where terminations need to be neat and conductor ends undamaged, the quality of the cut matters at every cable size but most visibly on larger sections
- One-hand operation with fixed handle rest — The tool is designed for one-handed cutting, with the fixed handle incorporating a support area for resting the cutter against a surface during the cutting stroke; in cable installation work where the free hand is managing the cable run, one-hand operation is a practical daily requirement rather than a convenience feature
- Pinch guard for operator safety — The integrated pinch guard prevents fingers being caught between the handles during the ratchet cutting stroke; on a tool that generates the mechanical advantage needed to cut 240mm² cable, that protection is a meaningful safety feature rather than a token addition
- Compact and lightweight for confined access — The 250mm body length and multi-component handle design keep the overall tool light and compact relative to its cutting capacity, making it usable in cable trays, distribution boards, and other confined working areas where a larger cutter would be unmanageable
