KNIPEX 95 61 190 SBA Cable Shears

Overview

At 9.5 inches long and 0.68 pounds, the Knipex 95 61 190 SBA is sized for one-handed, repeated cutting rather than bench-mounted work. Its handles are listed as plastic, and the SBA suffix in Knipex's numbering typically marks a blister-carded retail version.

Plastic-coated handles on a sub-pound cutter point to a tool meant for comfort through repeated cuts rather than raw force. Nothing in the listing states what material it is built to cut, so buyers should confirm that against Knipex's own catalog before ordering.

• 0.68 pound weight, plastic handles

Who it's for

Tradespeople and DIYers doing repeated one-handed cuts, who already want a compact tool in this size and weight class, are the fit. Anyone needing a bench-mounted or heavy-gauge cutter should look elsewhere given the light 0.68 pound build.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 9.5 inch length and 0.68 pound weight place this in the compact handheld cutter class, built for control and repeated use rather than raw cutting force. Plastic-coated handles suggest a comfort grip for extended sessions. No blade material, jaw capacity or cutting diameter is listed, so match those specifics against your job before buying.
