Overview
Weight is the standout spec on the Knipex 71 72 610 cutter: at roughly 2550 grams, about 5.6 pounds, it sits well past what you would expect from a small diagonal cutter, with a plastic handle covering the grip.
The listing does not give jaw length or maximum cutting capacity beyond the weight and handle material, so the exact use case is not fully spelled out. What is clear is that at 2550 grams this is a heavier tool than a compact diagonal cutter, more in line with something meant for repeated, heavy duty cuts.
- Plastic handle
- Item weight about 2550 grams (5.6 lb)

Who it's for
Best suited to someone who already works with Knipex hand tools and wants a heavier cutter for demanding cutting jobs rather than light electronics or craft work. Not aimed at anyone looking for a compact, pocket sized cutter.
Pros and cons
- Heavier build than typical hand cutters, likely more leverage
- Comes from Knipex, a dedicated cutting tool maker
- At 2550 grams it is not a lightweight, all day tool
- No cutting capacity or jaw length given in the specs
Performance notes
The 2550 gram build suggests thicker steel through the jaws and handles, which typically means more leverage per squeeze at the cost of extra arm fatigue over a long session. No blade length or maximum cutting capacity is listed, so match it against your material before buying.
