Overview
Knipex builds this CoBolt cutter around induction hardened cutting edges and a lever action design. The lower section by the pivot lets it hold and tug wire, and the blade is straight.
Lever action cuts hard materials with less hand effort than a standard diagonal cutter, which is the reason to choose it. The limitation is its size: the diameter limit is small and the listing gives no warranty.
Who it's for
Technicians in fleet and plant maintenance who handle hard wire and small fasteners will use the cutting limit as stated. Anyone cutting large padlocks or heavy rebar needs a long-handled bolt cutter.
Pros and cons
- Induction hardened edges
- Lever action reduces effort
- Cuts piano wire
- Gripping surface for pulling wire
- Small maximum cutting diameter
- Not a long-handled bolt cutter
- Warranty not stated
Performance notes
Lever action multiplies hand force at the jaws, and micro-structured edges allow cutting of large cross-sections with little effort. Hardened edges hold up on piano wire but should not be used beyond the stated diameter. The grip area can also pull thin wire.
