8" Hi-Leverage Angled Diagonal - Knipex

The Knipex 74 21 200 8" Hi-Leverage Angled Diagonal cutters are engineered for professional technicians and mechanics who require exceptional cutting performance and durability in demanding environments. These cutters are designed to provide a significant reduction in effort, ensuring efficient and reliable cuts across a variety of materials for continuous, heavy-duty use.

Key Features

• Optimized Power Transmission: Requires 20% less effort compared to conventional diagonal cutters of the same length, thanks to an optimal coordination of the cutting edge angle and transmission ratio.
• Superior Cutting Edges: Precision cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 64 HRC, allowing them to cut through various wire types, including piano wire, hard wire, and medium-hard wire.
• Angled Head Design: A 12° angled head provides increased hand clearance, facilitating access and comfort when working in confined spaces.
• Robust Construction: Manufactured from chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel, forged and multi-stage oil-hardened for maximum strength and a long service life.
• Heavy-Duty Joint: Features a forged-on axle for enhanced durability and reliability during tough, continuous applications.

Applications
