Knipex Concrete Mesh Cutter 37-1/2 In. L 71 82 950 hand tool

Knipex Concrete Mesh Cutter 71 82 950

This Knipex hand tool is a concrete mesh cutter built for professionals who cut reinforcing steel on site. A lever-action mechanism multiplies hand force so the cutting force is over 30 times higher than the effort applied. The design needs 60 percent less effort than conventional high-leverage diagonal cutters. It handles hard steel up to 1/4 in and medium or soft steel up to 3/8 in diameter.

Suited for steel fixers and concrete crews.

Trade workers who repeatedly cut mesh and rebar will benefit from the reduced strain and high leverage. The centre-cut action and screw adjustment give consistent performance on round steel stock. Buyers who need to cut sheet metal, wire rope or non-ferrous materials should look at a different tool because the blade geometry is optimised for steel rod only.

37-1/2 inch overall length decides reach

The 37-1/2 in length sets the leverage ratio and determines how deep you can reach into a mesh mat. At 8.15 weight units the tool stays manageable for repetitive cuts. If your work requires a shorter handle for tight spaces or a longer handle for maximum leverage, this fixed length will not match that requirement.
