Knipex 74 06 180 1000V VDE High Leverage Diagonal Cutter 180mm

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.

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.
