Overview
At 5.6 pounds and built with multi-component handles, the Knipex 71 72 610 is a bolt cutter sized for serious leverage. The 610 in its model number typically points to a 610mm, or roughly 24 inch, overall length.

Who it's for

Pros and cons
- Long handles add cutting leverage
- Multi-component grip eases hand fatigue
- Known toolmaker brand
- At 5.6 pounds it is heavier to carry than a compact cutter

Performance notes
The roughly 24 inch handle length multiplies hand force at the jaws, the mechanism bolt cutters rely on to shear hardened wire and bolts. Multi-component handles add a softer outer layer over a rigid core to ease grip strain during extended use.
