High lev. diag. cutters for tough continuous use in the electrical industry

Reliable helpers for professional users: tough, strong and insulated

Thanks to their high cutting capacity and indestructible strength, the Knipex 74 06 180 high leverage diagonal cutters are highly valued especially by craftsmen, and therefore in great demand.

In the insulated model, they are often used in the electrical trade, e.g. for electrical installation on the building site, in industry or for repair work. They are also ideal as constant companion in mobile applications, because despite their compact size, they are still able to cut hard materials effortlessly.

At just 180 mm long, the Knipex 74 06 180 fits in most work bags and in almost any tool case. The chrome plating of the high leverage diagonal cutters also contributes to their durability. The chrome plating is a good protection against rust when using the tool outside or if it is kept permanently in the service vehicle (condensation caused by temperature changes).

Low weight, optimum ergonomics and geometry: a 20 % energy saving

Compared to conventional diagonal cutters of the same size, the Knipex 74 06 180 offers a much better ratio between the force required and cutting capacity. The geometry of the cutting edges, joint and the handles has been designed for efficiency.

This tool is also the first choice for hard constant use, e.g. assembly work or electrical installation, because its ergonomic design makes work much easier for the user. Thanks to the hand-friendly shape of the handle, the benefits of using these high leverage diagonal cutters are plain to feel and see.

The insulating multi-component grips ensure added comfort. These high leverage diagonal cutters are extremely stable due to their robust design with forged joint axle, yet quite light, weighing just 280 g.

Precise cutting of medium-hard and hard wire as well as piano wire

One can see how good diagonal cutters are by the cut. Knipex high leverage diagonal cutters deliver better performance. In addition to the quality forged metal parts made of high performance chrome vanadium tool steel, the most important quality criteria at Knipex include their precise machining. The sharpness and angle of the cutting edges on the Knipex 74 06 180 are designed for top performance. The excellent machining of these high leverage diagonal cutters makes sure that the material to be cut is always cut cleanly. The high quality of the tool steel produced in Germany, the hardness of the cutting edges and the forged joint axle guarantee exceptional stability and a long service life.

Suitable for work on electrical installations (as long as the relevant safety rules have been complied with).
