20 percent reduction of hand force due to high leverage power joint ().
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. This 12-degree angled version has a 2-1/2-inch hand clearance and cuts objects to a near flat finish.
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 ().Quality in Every Detail
Sometimes 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.

They cut good. Takes a minute to get used to the long handles. Good quality tool though.

I’ve been an electrician for nearly a decade. My first 8 pairs of dikes were Klein then in the last 2 years I switched to knipex and oh man they are quality tools. The devils in the details and the Germans uphold their reputation of fine engineering with these bad boys. I will never own another brand of dikes again.

These pliers can cut! The longer handles really give you a lot of leverage to cut comfortably but they take some getting used to and they can get in the way if they are in your tool pouch. The dipped handles are very ergonomic however, after only a week or two there are some noticeable smaller chunks missing and scrapes on them but nothing major. You can’t go wrong with Knipex.

These are the best i have ever had my hands on! I bought them specifically to cut the extra stainless steel band off CV boot bands. Works perfect with little effort! And they have zero marks after cutting several! They are so precise you can cut paper or even a sandwich bag. They are spendy but more then worth it!

Have been working with knipex for a while, currently changing all my tools to knipex. Works really well. Co-workers even buy them after trying mine.

I have a pair of Klein D2000-48, which are very similar to these Knipex except 8" long instead of 10. The Klein cut through anything better than any tool I have ever seen - until I got these Knipex. With pain and difficulty and two hands I can cut through a 12D nail with the Klein. With the Knipex, it is a little easier. It is plausible (and likely) that the 25% longer handles just make it 20% easier - that sounds about right. Both are great tools, both are well made and the blades have not been damaged by anything I cut (mostly nails). The Knipex is just a little bigger, and so can cut a little more.
