KNIPEX High Leverage 12 Angled Diagonal Cut, Red

com 20 percent reduction of hand force due to high leverage power joint (). Easy to use, it offers high-leverage axel design with a 20 percent reduction in required force compared to conventional cutters of the same length for reduced fatigue. It features optimum coordination of the cutting edge angle, transmission ratio, and ergonomic handle shape, and it easily cuts nails and all types of wire with high-performance precision. Designed for cutting harder wires and materials, the 10-inch diagonal cutter is unique to Knipex, providing up to 25 percent more cutting power than the 8-inch model. Its longer size also allows for reaching into confined spaces. Forged from oil-hardened chrome vanadium steel, it's built to last. The fixed forged axle rivet joint assures continuous smooth operation with no weakening or wobbling effect over time. The precision matched, induction-hardened cutting edges cut a wide range of materials — from soft copper and aluminum to hardened materials like nails, piano wire, or ACSR wire without changing tools or damaging the cutting edges. Quality in Every Detail Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look. The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this. The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied users are worth this effort. Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. Gustav Putsch set up his own forge shop in Cronenberg (now a suburb of Wuppertal), and the company is now run by a fourth generation of that family. The world's leading brand in pliers today, Knipex is focused on the performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools in order to meet the high expectations of professional users. 74 01 250 High Leverage Diagonal Cutters, 10-Inch At a Glance High-leverage cutting performance with minimum effort 12-degree angled head to prevent knuckles from scraping Cuts piano wire, ACSR, nails, and other hard wire Specifications Cutting capacity: Up to 3/16-inch nail and wire pin; 9/64-inch wire rope strand and steel wire; 1/8-inch spring steel wire Length:10 inches Weight: 13.8 ounces Handles: Plastic coated From the Manufacturer High leverage diagonal cutters with a 12 degree angled head require 21% less effort.
