Knipex High Leverage Diagonal Cutter

The Knipex 74 02 160 is a 6-1/4 inch diagonal cutting plier designed for professionals and DIY users who need reliable cutting performance. Its high leverage design reduces the hand force required to cut through various materials. The tool is built for long-term durability in electrical, automotive and general maintenance tasks.

Chrome Vanadium Steel With Ergonomic Grip

The pliers are forged from chrome vanadium steel for strength and wear resistance during repeated use. A multi-component handle with blue and red colouring provides a comfortable, firm grip that reduces fatigue during extended work sessions. The oval nose shape with a 3/4 inch jaw length and 1 inch jaw width allows access in confined areas while maintaining cutting control.

Upgrading From Standard Diagonal Cutters

Users moving up from basic side cutters will notice the reduced effort needed for each cut thanks to the high leverage joint. The ergonomic grip is a worthwhile upgrade when comfort during repetitive cutting is a priority. This model does not suit buyers who require insulated handles for live electrical work or those needing a dedicated bolt-cutting capacity.
