Knipex High Leverage Diagonal Cutters, 8"

Knipex High Leverage Diagonal Cutters, 8"

The 7401200SBA Knipex High Leverage Diagonal Cutters (8") are heavy-duty cutting pliers built for high cutting performance with reduced hand effort. Engineered to require about 20% less effort than conventional cutters of the same length, they use an optimized cutting edge geometry and leverage ratio to power through demanding wire types. With a forged-on axle for long-term durability and induction-hardened precision cutting edges (~64 HRC), they’re designed for tough, continuous use—including cutting piano wire.
