KNIPEX 71 22 200 Cutter

Overview

Knipex model 71 22 200 is a diagonal cutting plier built with a multi component handle for grip comfort during repeated cuts. The 200 in the model number points to an 8 inch overall length, the standard Knipex sizing convention.

Knipex uses model numbers where the trailing figure in millimeters gives the tool length, so 71 22 200 lines up with an 8 inch diagonal cutter, a common size in this line for wire and cable work. The multi component handle pairs a rigid core with a softer outer layer, a design Knipex uses across its plier range to cut down on hand fatigue. A stated item weight is present in the data but reads as far too low to be plausible for a full size plier, so it is left out here rather than repeated as fact.

Who it's for

Suits someone who wants a name brand diagonal cutter for wire and cable work and values a comfort grip handle over the cheapest option available. Less relevant for buyers who need a documented cutting capacity for specific wire gauges, since that is not listed.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The multi component handle is built to cushion the hand across repeated squeezing, which matters most on jobs that involve many cuts in one session. Knipex's 200mm sizing in this line typically targets everyday wire and cable cutting rather than heavy gauge work, though this listing does not itself state a maximum cutting capacity.
