Overview

Cutting bolts, nails, rivets and hard wire is the job of this compact Knipex CoBolt, which adds an attachment point for a tether. Its cutting edges are induction hardened.

Hardened edges in a short body cut hard wire in cramped spots where a long cutter will not reach. The limitation is the small diameter limit and the two different cutting size figures in the data.

Who it's for

Maintenance staff and fitters who need a short, hard-edged cutter with a tether point will use the reduced size. Thick fasteners call for a long-handled bolt cutter.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Induction hardened cutting edges
  • Tether attachment point
  • Cuts piano wire
  • Plastic ergonomic handles
Cons
  • Small maximum diameter
  • Cutting size figures disagree
  • Not for chain or padlocks

Performance notes

Short lever arms limit force, so the cutting edges are hardened to handle hard materials within the stated diameter. The tether attachment point lets the cutter be secured with a lanyard. Cutting beyond the stated diameter risks chipping the edges.
