Knipex 9511165 Cable Cutter 0.59 in Copper Aluminum

Product Description

The KNIPEX 9511165 is a standard cable cutter designed for cutting copper and aluminum single conductors as well as multiple stranded cables. Built with an ergonomic dual-component handle, it delivers a clean and smooth cut without crushing or deforming the cable. The overall length is 6.5 inches, and it handles up to 0.59 inches (5/8 inch) capacity, including 12 AWG through 3 AWG Romex. Electricians and low-voltage installers reach for this cutter when clean terminations and conductor integrity matter. The dual-component grip reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cuts on the job site.

This cable cutter is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where copper and aluminum conductors require clean, deformation-free cuts. Typical applications include panel rough-in, home run terminations, and pulling circuits where Romex or stranded cable needs to be cut to length. The 6.5-inch overall length keeps the tool compact enough for work in tight enclosures, junction boxes, and panels. It is not insulated and is not rated for live-wire work.

Installation Notes

This cutter is intended for use by licensed electricians and qualified electrical workers on de-energized conductors only. Always verify circuits are de-energized and locked out before cutting any conductor. This tool is not rated for live or insulated-tool applications under NFPA 70E or NEC requirements. Keep blades clean and aligned for consistent cut quality.
