Overview
The Knipex 71 01 200 is an 8 inch (200mm) high leverage diagonal cutter, weighing about 0.73 pounds and sold as a single piece. Knipex builds this line for cutting wire and small fasteners with reduced hand effort.
The 71 01 series is Knipex's high leverage diagonal cutter, a step up from standard diagonal pliers because the pivot geometry multiplies hand force at the jaws. The SBA suffix on this listing typically points to a retail blister pack rather than a different tool.
- 8 inch (200mm) length
- High leverage diagonal cutter
- 0.73 lbs
- Sold as single piece
Who it's for
Fits electricians, technicians and hobbyists who cut wire regularly and want reduced hand fatigue over a full day of use. Less relevant for anyone who only needs an occasional cutter and does not want to pay for a premium brand.
Pros and cons
- High leverage design reduces hand effort
- Compact 8 inch size for control
- Established Knipex build quality
- Costs more than a basic diagonal cutter
- No cutting capacity spec listed for wire gauge
Performance notes
The high leverage pivot design multiplies the force applied at the handles before it reaches the cutting edges, so less hand pressure is needed to get through wire compared to a standard diagonal cutter of the same size. At 8 inches and 0.73 pounds, it stays balanced for one-handed repeated cuts.
