Knipex Wire Rope Cutters! Get Factory End Cuts Without Fraying!

These Knipex Wire Rope cutters are just fantastic, there’s nothing like having a purpose built tool to give you the best results on a particular job. These circle and compression cut the wire rope to prevent any fraying or crushing of the wire which really helps when needing to thread it through tight spots or the various buckles and pulleys that this type of rope is used for regularly. Garage door repairs are a lot easier with this tool as well if you do that type of work. Definitely a handy tool to add if you do a lot of work involving this material!

Didn't know knipex made tools for wire rope - thanks for showing.

I highly recommend these as well. This type of cutter is essential for the intermediate tool kit. I got the 95 61 190 for the slim grips. Great for bike mechanics too.

Could you test and let me know how cleanly these will cut bamboo bbq skewers? 3mm, 4mm, 5mm sizes...
Looking to cut many of these, and i've got blisters from rolling them around a stanley knife blade.

Ive been tempted several times order a pair of those for braided break and throttle cables. But I don’t deal with that small of cables much anymore. Most of the cables I deal with now are 3/16” and 1/4” stainless pvc coated braided cables for safety tethers on theatrical lighting and truss mounted equipment. I haven’t looked to see if the make a large set of cable cutters that would handle stainless.

Definitely a better design than bolt cutters or shears.

Use wire rope to hang spiral duct at work. Parts guy is not buying the knipex since my cheap Amazon cutters worked really well for quite a while considering the price difference.
Not hatin on the knipex, I do have the pliers wrench.

Was the larger wire the softer galvanized or stainless?

What would you use to crimp the connector/sleeve on??
I do lot of crimping and looking for something easier to work with

If you don't cut a lot of rope wires, would a bolt cutter works with plasti dip? Or what other tools would you recommend that is more basic tool for an low skill average home owners? I am looking into cutting some stainless steel 3/16" Wire Rope (for a garden sail) and I doubt I will cut anything after this 50' cables are used up.

So will it work good on 1/8” braided wire rope/ cable?

Cost a fortune for these pliers. If you don't cut these many rope wires, a dremel or angle grinder does it well too

What camera do you use for your videos?
