See how cable cutters differ in function and design


When working with electrical installations, a good cable cutter is indispensable. The right model can make the difference between a clean, precise cut and an uneven trimming that can damage the conductors. Cable cutters come in many varieties – from compact hand models to robust versions with gear transmission or hydraulic support. They differ in function, ergonomics and choice of materials, and it can be an advantage to know the differences before choosing the tool that suits your needs.
In this article, you will get an overview of different types of cable cutters, their areas of use and the most important features that characterise them.
The article presents a selection of cable cutters that represent different designs, sizes and functions. The goal is to provide a comprehensive insight into the market and show how the individual models can be relevant for different types of electrical work. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers, and is summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.

KNIPEX StepCut 95 12 160 is a compact cable cutter designed to deliver clean and precise cuts in copper and aluminium cables. It is only 160 mm long, making it easy to handle even in confined workspaces.
The cutter is equipped with a multi-component handle that provides a secure and comfortable grip during use. The special StepCut geometry means that the conductors are cut step by step, reducing the required force by up to 40% compared to standard cable cutters of the same size.
The tool can cut soft, multi-stranded copper and aluminium cables up to 15 mm in diameter (50 mm²) as well as solid cables up to 5 × 4 mm². The cutting blades are inductively hardened to approx. 56 HRC, ensuring long life and precision over time.
