Overview
Knipex built the 71 32 200 as a diagonal cutter with a multi-component comfort handle, weighing 13.42 ounces.
Knipex's 71 series covers high-leverage diagonal cutting pliers, and the 200 in the model number refers to the tool's length in millimeters, about 8 inches overall. The multi-component handle combines a hard inner plastic with a softer outer grip, a common Knipex design for reducing hand fatigue on repeated cuts.

- High leverage diagonal cutter
- Multi-component handle

Who it's for
Suits electricians and tradespeople who need a durable diagonal cutter for wire work. Not the tool for cutting pipe or heavier bolt stock, which need a different jaw design.
Pros and cons
- High-leverage jaw design for wire cutting
- Comfort-grip multi-component handle
- Consistent 4.7 rating over a large review base
- Not built for pipe or bolt cutting
- No confirmed maximum wire gauge listed
Performance notes
The 71 32 200 is built as a high-leverage diagonal cutter, meaning its jaw geometry is designed to multiply hand force for cutting hardened wire with less effort than a standard cutter. The multi-component handle spreads grip pressure over repeated use, which matters more on jobs involving many cuts in a row than on occasional use.
