High-Leverage Angled Diagonal Cutters with 12-Degree Head and Comfort Grip – Knipex 8 or 10 Inch
High-leverage angled diagonal cutters deliver strong wire-cutting performance while creating hand clearance near flat surfaces and confined work areas. Knipex coordinates the cutting-edge angle and transmission ratio to require less effort than conventional cutters of the same length.
The 12-degree angled head, forged-on axle and oil-hardened chrome vanadium steel support tough continuous use. Induction-hardened cutting edges reach approximately 64 HRC and can cut several wire types including piano wire.
