Overview
Plastic coated grips over a compact cutting head give this Knipex tool its working shape. The red handles are ergonomic and the listing names a VDE specification.
The VDE specification points to electrical work, and the ergonomic coated grips add control. The bolt cutter label is misleading for a tool with a small cutting width, and the listing gives no steel details.
Who it's for
Electrical and low voltage work with small conductors suits a compact coated cutter. Heavy hardware and padlock chains need a true bolt cutter with long handles.
Pros and cons
- VDE specification listed
- Plastic coated grips
- Light and compact
- Red handles are easy to spot
- Small cutting width
- Bolt cutter label is misleading
- Steel type not listed
- Insulation rating beyond VDE not stated
Performance notes
Cutting force depends on the handle length and the jaw geometry, and a small cutting width limits the stock it can handle. The plastic coating insulates and improves grip. The listing gives no hardness rating for the edge.
