Cuts up to 1/4-inch diameter ().
An all-around tool for the toughest demands, this Knipex high-leverage CoBolt cutter features a lever action design that applies 20 times more hand force for superior cutting power with less effort. This mini bolt cutter (model 71 31 200) can cut through more than you ever thought possible — up to 1/4-inch diameter with ease. It's ideal for automotive or construction applications, cutting cotter pins and nails, repeated use in factory assembly lines, cutting wire fencing in agricultural settings, or even everyday tasks such as cutting floral wire or fish hooks.
Forged from chrome vanadium electric steel, it's built to last. This lightweight, 8-inch cutter features precision-matched cutting edges for cutting soft or hard steel. The cutting edge recess near the joint keeps thicker wires in a better cutting position (optimum lever ratio), so there is no need to reposition the tool to achieve the desired cut. It's completed with heavy duty plastic-coated handle grips.
Cutting edge recess ().Quality in Every Detail
Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look.
The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.
The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied users are worth this effort.
Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.

These cutters go through all types of braided cable, piano wire, chain link fence, and small chains like a hot knife through butter. Even though these are only the 8”version the notched blade allows larger materials to be cut with ease.

Good product took it out of it's packaging and just couldn't wait to use it was actually snooping around to find something just so I could use it. That being said they do feel good in the hand weight is distributed well. Heck you could fit it in a Backpack easy (if you know what I'm saying) because they're light enough to fit in your back pocket

I bought these to cut spring steel and hog rings for reupholstering a mustang seat. These sliced through thick hog rings with ease. Spring steel is no problem. After using these I wish had these for all the past roofing, decking, chain link fencing, and house building projects I had done in the past with those common little wire cutters you find all over town. They are still sharp and the jaws are still sharp and retain there point. The leverage is all in the long handles, which are comfortable and smartly designed to not pinch. After some use the rivets are still nice and tight. They are a bit spendy, but these could last a life time if taken care of.

When I first opened the package I thought that I had made a big mistake. There was no way a tool this small could cut thru fence wire easily. How wrong I was. I had been using a full size "lineman's pliers" before but at 60 years old the grip isn't what it used to be. These Knipex cuts thru the wire like I was 30 again. Great product and compact enough to carry.
