Overview
Model 68 01 200 from Knipex is a hand cutter with red plastic handles, weighing 0.74 pounds. Listed under the Tools cutters category, it suits users who want a lightweight tool for routine cutting jobs in a shop or toolbox.
Spec data for this listing is thin: no description or capacity rating came through from the seller, so the plastic handle color and sub-pound weight are the clearest facts available. That weight points to a compact, one-hand tool rather than a long-reach bolt cutter. Buyers who need a specific jaw opening or cutting capacity should check the listing photos or Knipex's own catalog before ordering.

Who it's for
Best suited to a toolbox that just needs a lightweight, general-purpose cutter close at hand. Anyone needing confirmed cutting capacity for heavier wire or cable should look past this listing, since that spec is missing.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Lightweight at 0.74 pounds
- Plastic handles for grip
- Strong rating (4.7) across nearly 1,000 reviews
- No description or capacity spec provided
- Cutting capacity not stated
- Limited detail beyond weight and handle material
Performance notes
With plastic handles and a weight under three quarters of a pound, the tool is built for one-handed use rather than leverage-heavy cutting. The red handle color is a Knipex convention used to mark cutting tools apart from pliers in the line.
