Overview
The Knipex 61 02 200 is an 8 inch diagonal cutter aimed at wire and cable work, built with a multi material handle grip and a bare weight of about one pound. It sits in Knipex's cutter lineup for electricians and technicians who cut wire daily.
Knipex is a German toolmaker known for precision hand tools, and this cutter carries that reputation into a compact wire cutting form.
- 8 inch diagonal cutter design
- Multi material handle covering
- About 1 pound bare weight
- Part of Knipex's cutter line
Who it's for
This suits electricians, cable installers and hobbyists who want a dedicated diagonal cutter rather than a multi tool. It is not the choice for someone who needs bolt cutters or heavy gauge wire capacity, since no capacity spec is listed.
Pros and cons
- Compact diagonal cutter for wire work
- Multi material handle grip
- Light at about one pound
- No cutting capacity or gauge spec listed
Performance notes
The published specs cover only handle material and weight, so the practical cutting capacity of this pair is not documented on this listing. At about one pound, it is light enough for repeated one handed cuts, and the multi material handle grip is typical of Knipex's ergonomic line.
