What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing describes the range as 4–16 mm, while one detail passage says 4–6 mm. Confirm that the selected item is the No. 4-16 version and check the cable diameter range before purchase. The 24L x 9W centimetres dimensions and 0.4 Centimeters cutting width are listed without further explanation, so their measurement context is unclear. A separate passage says the handle is two-component, while the details give reinforced polyamide. The listing also claims GS and TÜV testing or markings, which are not independently confirmed here.
