Swaging of Wire Ropes

Rope Inspection Part 3 - General Condition

High-strength wire ropes are best cut with the KNIPEX 95 62 160 wire rope shears: As @toolselectrical shows here, it cuts through even enormously hard, braided ropes like butter. The secret of its strength is its unique joint design, which massively amplifies your hand force. In other words: up to 30% less effort compared to wire rope cutters of the same length! It cuts wire ropes up to Ø 4 mm and cables up to Ø 6 mm easier than you would expect. Thanks for the video, Ryan! #knipex #tools #plier
