Ratchet Cutters for Aluminium and Copper Power Cables
KNIPEX ratchet cutters, for large cross-section cables
Ratchet cutters cut aluminium and copper power cables through a series of successive strokes, rather than a single squeeze. The ratchet mechanism multiplies the force, so a thick cable can be cut one-handed and with little effort. They are part of the hand tools section at Sanco Grup.The models are KNIPEX, made in Germany from forged, oil-hardened special steel, with 3-stage cutting.
Models available
KNIPEX 95 31 250, up to Ø 32 mm
3-stage ratchet cutter, 250 mm, for aluminium and copper cables up to 32 mm in diameter. Compact design and low weight, which also allows work in tight spaces.KNIPEX 95 36 320, up to Ø 60 mm
3-stage ratchet cutter, for aluminium and copper cables up to 60 mm in diameter, intended for large cross-section power cables in panels, transformer stations and distribution networks.Professional Rennsteig tools (listed in the category)
The category also lists Rennsteig tools of German quality: the 430230 automatic center punch, the 4321200 and 4301200 center punches, the 1400100 hollow punch and the 2714002 and ULTIMAX 2756002 demolition bars. See also the screw extractors and accessories.Main features
Ratchet mechanism
Cutting is done through repeated strokes, each advancing the blade one step, which allows one-handed operation.High force transmission ratio
Reduced physical effort even on large cross-section cables, compared with conventional cutting pliers.3-stage cutting
The stage setting adapts the blade advance to the cable thickness.Forged special steel
Forged, oil-hardened tool steel, for blades that keep their edge under repeated use.Compact construction
Low weight and small footprint, useful when working in panels and tight spaces.Protection against pinching
A protective lug that prevents fingers being pinched during operation.Use with care
Not for steel wire and wire ropes
These cutters are intended solely for aluminium and copper cables. They must not be used on steel wire, wire ropes or very fine, highly flexible stranded conductors, as the blades will be damaged. For steel, see the steel cable cutters.Confirm the cable is de-energised
These models are not VDE insulated. Cutting must be done only on a de-energised cable. Live work requires insulated, tested tools. See the VDE insulated tools.Recommended applications
Electrical networks and transformer stations
Cutting large cross-section power cables, during installation and interventions.Electrical panels and automation
Shortening supply cables, in spaces where large pliers do not fit.Industrial installations
Installation and maintenance work on power cable routes.Service and field interventions
Fast, one-handed cutting, without a powered tool. See also the electricians hand tools.Benefits
