8-inch High Leverage Diagonal Cutter

The Knipex 74 21 200 is an 8-inch high leverage diagonal cutter forged from Chrome Vanadium Steel. It is designed for electricians, mechanics and technicians who need strong, precise cutting of wire and small components. The forged-on axle ensures long-term joint stability under heavy use.

Check cutting capacity and insulation needs

Verify that the 1/8 inch piano wire, 3/16 inch medium hard wire and 9/64 inch hard wire capacities match your typical materials. The tool carries a 1000V voltage rating but is not insulated, so it must not be used on live circuits. Confirm the 12-degree jaw bend suits your access angles.

Forged steel build with ergonomic grips

Chrome Vanadium Steel construction resists wear and deformation during repetitive cutting tasks. Red ergonomic plastic handles provide a secure, comfortable grip for extended periods. The oval nose profile and tether-capable design allow safe attachment when working at height or in confined spaces.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy anything else?

The box contains the 8 in high leverage diagonal cutter with forged-on axle and red ergonomic handles; no extra items are required for cutting tasks.

Which version should I choose for hard wire up to 9/64 in?

This 74 21 200 model cuts 9/64 in hard wire, 3/16 in medium hard wire and 1/8 in piano wire, matching the stated capacities.

What does the 1000 V rating mean when I am working on live circuits?

The 1000 V rating indicates the handles are tested for electrical insulation up to that voltage, but the tool itself is not insulated for live-line work.
