Overview
At 8 inches long and 11.7 ounces, the Knipex 71 21 200 is a diagonal cutter with a brushed finish, built for wire and light gauge cutting rather than heavier bolt work. It falls under Tools, Cutters.
At 8 inches long and under 12 ounces, this sits in the handheld range meant for one-hand wire cutting rather than two-hand bolt cutters. Knipex sells several diagonal cutter lengths, so the 71 21 200 model number is what confirms you are getting this exact size and jaw geometry, not a shorter or longer variant.
- 8 x 1.97 x 0.51 inch dimensions
- 11.7 ounce item weight
- Brushed finish
Who it's for
Electricians, hobbyists, and anyone doing repeated wire cutting benefit from a dedicated 8 inch cutter like this one. Cutting bolts, rebar, or heavy cable calls for a bigger tool instead.
Pros and cons
- Compact 8 inch size for one-hand cutting
- Light at 11.7 ounces
- Recognized Knipex model number
- No wire gauge or cutting capacity listed
- Not sized for bolts or heavy cable
Performance notes
The 8 by 1.97 by 0.51 inch body keeps the tool compact enough for single-hand use, and the brushed finish on the blend material construction is typical of forged jaw designs. Cutting capacity for specific wire gauges is not listed here.
