Knipex 74 01 140 5-1/2" Inch High-Leverage Diagonal Cutter

High Leverage Design — The transmission ratio, optimal pivot placement, and handle geometry combine to reduce the effort required by about 20% compared to conventional diagonal cutters of the same length. 

Cutting Performance — Precision, induction-hardened cutting edges (~ 64 HRC) allow clean cuts through:
• Medium-hard wire up to ~ 3.1 mm diameter 
• Hard wire up to ~ 2.0 mm diameter 
• Piano wire up to ~ 1.5 mm diameter 

Compact Size — At just 140 mm (5-½ in) in overall length, this pliers fits easily in your work pouch or tight spaces while still offering serious tool power. 

Lightweight — Weighing about 131 grams (~ 0.29 lbs), it’s easier to handle during long use. Durable Construction — Forged joint axle, high-performance chrome-vanadium steel, multi-stage oil hardening. Plastic-coated handles with ergonomic shape and black atramentized finish for corrosion resistance.
