## Description

desertcart.com 20 percent reduction of hand force due to high leverage power joint (view larger).The 10-inch Knipex angled diagonal cutter (model 74 01 250) is ideal for tough, continuous use. 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. It's completed with heavy duty plastic-coated handle grips.Suitable for all types of wire including piano wire (view larger).Quality in Every DetailSometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. 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. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.About KnipexHeadquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, Knipex is an independently-owned family enterprise steeped in tradition and specializing in the manufacturing of high-quality pliers.

Review: They are, without question, the tool for the job. - Let me begin by saying I’ve worked in the electrical engineering field for thirty-eight years. Whether that lends this review any credibility or simply highlights my persistence—or stubbornness—is up for debate. What it does mean is that I’ve cut a lot of wire with a lot of diagonal cutters, and in the process, I’ve sown enough colorful profanity to fill a sailor’s hymnbook. There’s also been the occasional pinched hand followed by that familiar “trying-not-to-urinate” dance that only true pain can inspire. For most of those years, I was faithful to my trusty Klein diagonal cutters—miniature guillotines of the electrical world—faithfully reducing copper to manageable lengths. Then, by happy accident, I stumbled upon these exquisite German cutters, engineered with all the precision and gravitas of a Grosser Mercedes. They slice through wire like warm country butter and, somehow, stay razor sharp while doing it—again, and again, and again—apparently until the end of time. They have become my cutters of choice, and possibly of devotion. But what truly elevates these Teutonic marvels above their peers is their additional rating: they can cut steel piano wire up to 2.5 mm in diameter. So, should you ever find yourself needing to defend your person against a particularly feral Steinway, these are the cutters you’ll want in hand to swiftly emasculate that ivory-toothed beast. They are, without question, the tool for the job—and perhaps the stuff of legend among those of us who live and die by the snip.
Review: Incredible Knipex Quality - I have an unabashed love for my collection of Knipex tools, and these diagonal cutters are, without a doubt, a standout addition to my toolbox. They're not just tools; they're trusty companions on my daily journey of fixing and creating. These cutters, in particular, are beasts, and they fearlessly tackle any thick wires or cables I dare to throw their way. The first thing you'll notice about them is their size – they're not your average cutters; they're big, bold, and built to endure. When you're dealing with hefty wires that seem like they could double as suspension cables for a bridge, these Knipex diagonal cutters rise to the occasion. They slice through with the precision of a samurai sword, leaving clean, effortless cuts in their wake. But it's not just their strength that impresses me; it's their reliability. Whether I'm working on a challenging electrical project or just doing some DIY magic around the house, I know I can depend on these cutters to get the job done. They're like the superhero of my toolbox, swooping in to save the day whenever a cable needs snipping or a wire needs trimming.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice quality hardened side cut wire cutters at a reasonable price
*by Z***N on March 12, 2025*

I needed a side cut wire cutter that would work on stainless steel and hardened wire and not damage the jaws. I do a lot of jewelry and use mostly stainless wire. I also do electrical work and they work great in that application. I've gotten tired of the normal cutters not lasting and I have gotten tired of constantly getting replacements. These Knipex wire cutters really fit the bill and were reasonably priced. These are extremely strong and have no flex or movement in the pivot joint. They are very smooth, sharp and easy to use. The length of these are somewhat small but you still have good leverage to cut. The handle grips are firmly attached and do not move at all like some of the other ones I have bought. The cutting edge is not a flush cut but has a fairly small taper which is not bad. I would get these again in a heartbeat but I doubt I will need to very soon! Edited 4-5-2025 I just got thru cutting over 100 stainless steel rings with this and it hasn’t got any damage to it
