At KNIPEX, we've always been passionate about creating tools that blend innovation with precision, but this time, we’ve scaled new heights — quasi literally! With the release of the StepCut XL, we introduce a blade design that is as functional as it is visually striking: the cutting edge seemingly inspired by the impressive Matterhorn.
What Makes the StepCut XL Unique?
Why the Matterhorn, you ask? For one, it’s a symbol of strength and precision, much like our tools. Its iconic, stepped profile resembles the stepped cutting edges of the StepCut XL, which make cutting large-stranded cables feel like a walk in the Swiss Alps — or, for our friends across the pond, like scaling the Rocky Mountains.
Step-by-Step Cutting for Maximum Efficiency
The KNIPEX StepCut XL is engineered to take on some of the toughest tasks, from slicing through solid copper to fine-stranded cables with ease. Much like how a mountaineer approaches a steep ascent — carefully, step by step — the StepCut XL’s stepped blade nibbles through cables, ensuring that every cut is efficient and controlled. This step-by-step process dramatically reduces the effort required, meaning less strain for you and more accuracy in your work.
Cut Large-Diameter Cables with Ease
The front cutting edge handles large-diameter cables one section at a time. The result? Reduced force, higher precision, and fewer hand cramps. Just as the Matterhorn requires the right tools for a successful summit, the KNIPEX StepCut XL provides the right design to conquer large cross-sections of cables effortlessly.
Ergonomic Design for Maximum Comfort and Control
But let’s not forget about the tool’s power joint and ergonomic handles — features that provide support when you need it most. Combined with long handles for maximum leverage, the StepCut XL makes cutting even the largest cables a smoother, more reliable process.
Metric and Imperial Cutting Capacities
The KNIPEX StepCut XL cable shears (or wire cutters) offer impressive cutting capacity:
- Cuts solid copper and aluminum cables up to 35 mm² (2 AWG)
- Handles stranded cables up to 70 mm² (2/0 AWG)
- Fine-stranded cables up to 120 mm² (4/0 AWG)
With this versatile tool, electricians in the industry across the world can tackle a wide range of projects with ease.
The KNIPEX StepCut XL: Built to Last
Whether you’re a professional tackling a challenging electrical installation or an industrial specialist cutting through tough materials, the StepCut XL will feel like an extension of your hand. It’s not just another tool — it’s a cutting experience, honed by nature’s design and perfected by KNIPEX.
