KNIPEX 95 62 190 Wire Rope Cutters – Precise Cutting & Crimping

Overview

The KNIPEX 95 62 190 is a compact, dual‑function tool designed for clean wire rope cutting and precise crimping. Its balanced feel and thoughtful engineering help you tackle common cable tasks with control, whether you’re in a workshop or on site. Built to deliver consistent results, this tool supports two core tasks without needing a separate crimping tool for many applications.

Key capabilities

• Double function: cleanly cuts wire rope and performs precise crimping in a single instrument.
• Two crimping dies for end caps on Bowden cable sheaths and ferrules for wire rope.
• Capable of cutting wire rope up to 13/64 inches in diameter.
• Slim design with an internal opening spring for comfortable, controlled operation.
• Bolted joint provides precise blade guidance and is readjustable for long‑lasting accuracy.
• High leverage reduces the effort required during cutting and crimping tasks.
• Cutting edge hardness is approximately 64 HRC, supporting durable, repeatable cuts.
• Chrome vanadium heavy‑duty steel is forged and oil‑hardened for rugged, reliable performance.

Practical applications

In daily use, technicians and maintenance professionals often balance precision with efficiency. The tool’s ability to cleanly cut wire rope up to 13/64 inch makes quick work of medium‑diameter cables, while the ferrule and end‑cap crimping capability supports Bowden cable assemblies in tight spaces. The slim profile and comfortable grip help when working in confined areas, and the adjustable blade guidance helps ensure consistent results across multiple tasks.

Whether you’re assembling a small rig, configuring a cable system, or performing on‑site repairs, this tool offers a repeatable approach to two common needs. The combination of high leverage and a robust jaw construction can translate to smoother operation, especially when you’re switching between cutting and crimping tasks on the same job site.

Materials, longevity, and care

Constructed from chrome vanadium steel and finished with oil hardening, the 95 62 190 is built to withstand regular use in demanding environments. The forged construction and bolted joint help maintain blade alignment over time, contributing to dependable performance season after season. Routine care—wiping away debris after use and keeping joints lightly lubricated—helps preserve smooth operation and precision.

Summary of benefits

For professionals handling wire rope projects, this tool offers a practical blend of cutting and crimping capabilities in one ergonomic package. It highlights measurable features—two crimping dies, 13/64 inch cutting capacity, 64 HRC cutting edges, and high leverage—that can translate into real‑world efficiency, repeatability, and long‑term durability without promising guaranteed outcomes.
