Overview
A workshop where wire and small stock need cutting is the home of a side cutter like this Knipex. The handles are PVC with multi-component grips in blue and red, and the body is a blend of materials.
Comfortable multi-component grips and a clear cutting use make its purpose obvious. The set name says six pieces while the components list only one model, and the cutting capacity figure is small.
Who it's for
Electronics, hobby and light cable work suit a side cutter with a small stated capacity. Thick wire and bolts need a larger tool.
Pros and cons
- Side cutting jaws
- Light and compact
- Two color grip
- Small cutting capacity
- Set name says six pieces
- Steel grade not listed
- Insulation rating not listed
Performance notes
Side cutters shear wire with the jaws closing across the cut, and capacity is limited by the jaw geometry. The multi-component grips add comfort and control. The listing gives no hardness figure.
