KNIPEX 74 01 250 SBA Tools - High Leverage Diagonal Cutters (10 inches)

Headquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, Knipex is an independently-owned family enterprise steeped in tradition and specializing in the manufacturing of high-quality pliers. The company's journey began in 1882 when C. Gustav Putsch set up his own forge shop in Cronenberg, now a suburb of Wuppertal, and it is now run by the fourth generation of that family.

As the world's leading brand in pliers, Knipex is focused on the performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools in order to meet the high expectations of professional users. In addition to quality, innovation, and performance, other important cornerstones of the brand are sustainable actions and value-guided orientation.

One of Knipex's notable products is the 10-inch angled diagonal cutter (model 74 01 250), which is ideal for tough, continuous use. This cutter offers a 20 percent reduction in required hand force due to its high-leverage axel design, reducing fatigue for the user. The optimum coordination of the cutting edge angle, transmission ratio, and ergonomic handle shape allows the cutter to easily tackle 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, with a fixed forged axle rivet joint that assures continuous smooth operation with no weakening or wobbling effect over time.

The precision-matched, induction-hardened cutting edges of the Knipex diagonal cutter can 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. The tool is completed with heavy-duty plastic-coated handle grips.

Knipex takes a meticulous approach to the design and production of its pliers, closely examining the angles, sharpness, hardness, and toughness of the cutting edges, as well as the precision and smooth movement of the joint, the handle design, and the overall finish. This commitment to excellence is what makes Knipex the number one choice of tradesmen worldwide, with tools that are comfortable to use, quality-assured, and fit to match the needs in the shop, at home, or in the field.
