High-Leverage Diagonal Cutters

This Knipex high-leverage diagonal cutter is built for tradespeople who need strong, precise cutting force in a hand tool. Chrome vanadium steel jaws with bevelled edges deliver clean cuts on hard wire and similar materials. The forged-on axle ensures lasting alignment, while the serrated oval nose grips the workpiece to prevent slipping during use.

Suited For Precision Wire Cutting

Professionals cutting piano wire, spring steel or thick electrical cable will benefit from the high-leverage mechanism and gripping nose. Users who mainly strip insulation, crimp terminals or need insulated handles for live electrical work should choose a tool designed for those specific tasks instead.

180 mm Chrome Vanadium Steel Jaws

The cutting edges are forged from chrome vanadium steel, giving the hardness and wear resistance required for repeated cuts in tough metals. This material choice determines whether the pliers stay sharp under the loads this high-leverage design generates.

Questions about this item

Does the Knipex 74 01 180 SBA come with any accessories or spare jaws?

Only the diagonal cutters are supplied; no spare jaws, springs or carrying case are included.

How do I decide between the 180 mm and other lengths in the 74 series?

The 180 mm model gives maximum leverage for thick wire; shorter versions suit finer work and tighter spaces.

What does the 180 mm length mean when I am cutting hard wire on the bench?

The longer handles multiply hand force so the chrome vanadium jaws sever hard wire with less effort.
