Description
Knipex 7401200 8″ (200mm) High Leverage Diagonal Cutters
Industrial Strength. Minimal Effort.
The Knipex 74 01 200 8" Diagonal Cutters are designed for the most demanding cutting tasks on the job site. Unlike standard cutters, these feature a forged-on joint axle built for continuous, high-stress use. The optimum coordination of the cutting edge angle and transmission ratio means you can cut through hard materials with 20% less hand force compared to conventional diagonal cutters of the same length.
The precision cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 64 HRC, making them capable of slicing through everything from soft copper to hard piano wire without dulling the blades. Forged from high-performance chrome vanadium electric steel, these cutters are oil-hardened in multiple stages to ensure they remain a reliable part of your toolkit for years.
Key Performance Features:
- High Leverage Design: Engineered to deliver maximum cutting power with minimum physical effort, protecting your hands during long shifts.
- Induction Hardened Edges: Extreme hardness (64 HRC) allows for clean cuts on medium-hard wire (4.2 mm), hard wire (3.0 mm), and piano wire (2.5 mm).
- Indestructible Strength: The forged-on axle provides superior stability for heavy-duty, continuous industrial applications.
- Ergonomic Handling: The 8-inch length provides the perfect balance of leverage and portability, fitting easily into tool bags and pockets.
- German Engineered: Manufactured in Germany using multi-stage oil-hardened chrome vanadium steel for lifelong durability.
