Overview
Knipex's 71 01 200 is a diagonal cutting plier with an ergonomic handle, weighing 335 grams. Rated 4.8 stars from 251 reviews, it suits electricians and technicians who cut wire daily and want a tool built for repeated flexing without hand fatigue.
The 200mm size places it in Knipex's mid length diagonal cutter range, long enough for leverage on heavier gauge wire while staying compact for a tool pouch. Knipex's high leverage cutters are known in the trade for cutting hardened wire that lighter cutters struggle with, though this listing does not state a specific cutting capacity in wire gauge.
