Overview
Knipex is a known German maker of pliers and cutting tools.
At over 2 kilograms this sits in heavy duty cutter territory, and the plastic handle covering is typically there for grip rather than as the load-bearing material. Exact cutting capacity is not given in the spec data, so match it against the job before buying.
- 2100 gram weight
- Plastic covered handles
- Knipex brand
Who it's for
Fits tradespeople who want a heavy cutter from an established maker with a track record. Not a fit for light hobby use where a smaller, lighter cutter would be easier to handle.
Pros and cons
- Recognized maker with a track record
- Substantial weight suits heavy cutting
- 4.6 lb weight is heavy to carry
- Exact cutting capacity not listed
Performance notes
The added mass on a cutter like this generally supports higher-leverage cutting, which fits Knipex's heavier bolt and wire cutting tools. The plastic handle covering adds grip without adding much weight of its own.
