Knipex Cable Shears (165mm 1000 Vde)
Knipex 165mm VDE-insulated cable shears with integrated tether attachment point, individually tested to 10,000V and certified safe for use to 1000V AC. The cutting capability and VDE specification are identical to the standard 9516165, precision-ground hardened blades, clean deformation-free cuts on copper and aluminium cable up to 50mm², and full IEC 60900 compliance, with one meaningful addition: an integrated insulated tether attachment point built into the handle for connecting a tool tether when working at height. The professional choice for electricians working on overhead cabling, roof installations, and any application where a dropped tool is a safety incident rather than just an inconvenience.

Knipex Cable Shears (165mm 1000 Vde)
- Integrated insulated tether attachment point — The built-in tether loop is insulated to maintain the VDE rating across the full tool, allowing a tool tether to be attached without compromising the 1000V protection; for electricians working at height on overhead cabling, cable trays, or roof installations, the ability to tether the shears is a safety requirement that the standard 9516165 cannot meet
- VDE certified to 1000V — individually tested — Full VDE certification with individual testing to 10,000V for safe use to 1000V AC, conforming to DIN EN/IEC 60900; every tool individually verified rather than batch-approved, the only standard that matters in live electrical working environments
- Precision-ground hardened blades for clean cable cuts — Hardened blades deliver clean, smooth cuts on copper and aluminium cable up to 50mm² without crushing or deforming the conductor ends; not suitable for steel wire or hard-drawn copper conductors
- One-hand operation with integrated guard — Designed for clean one-handed cutting, freeing the other hand to manage the cable; the integrated guard prevents fingers being caught between the handles during the cutting stroke — a feature that carries additional weight when working at height where balance and body position are already a consideration
- Adjustable bolted joint with self-retaining screw — The joint is adjustable to maintain precise blade guidance as the tool wears in, and the self-retaining screw holds the adjustment reliably; blade alignment is what keeps the cut clean and the adjustable joint is how Knipex sustains it across the working life of the tool
- High-grade special tool steel, forged and oil-hardened — Manufactured to Knipex's standard tool steel specification, forged and oil-hardened for the edge retention and durability that professional daily use in electrical installation demands
