KNIPEX 95 05 155 SBA Cutter

Overview

The Knipex 95 05 155 SBA is a compact cutter built from stainless steel with glass fiber reinforced plastic handles for grip. It ships as a single tool weighing 0.31 pounds, sized for cutting soft and multi strand cable in tight spaces.

Knipex is a German toolmaker with a reputation built on pliers and cutters used daily by electricians and technicians, and the 95 05 155 sits in its cutter lineup at a compact 155 mm size. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than plain carbon steel blades, useful in damp job sites.

• Stainless steel construction
• Glass fiber reinforced plastic handles
• 0.31 lb, single unit

Who it's for

Electricians and technicians who need a small, corrosion resistant cutter for soft cable and want a brand with a long trade reputation. Not the tool to reach for on hardened wire or heavy cable, since nothing in the listing claims that capacity.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Stainless steel blades hold an edge and resist rust better than untreated carbon steel, which matters for a tool that may see damp or outdoor conditions. The glass fiber reinforced plastic handles add grip without adding much weight, keeping the whole cutter under a third of a pound.
