Knipex X-Cut cuts finest strands as well as multi-core cables and piano wires. It is powerful, light, and universal. The tool offers high cutting performance with minimum effort due to the optimum coordination of the cutting edge angle and transmission ratio. The box-joint design ensures the highest stability with low weight. It features a doubly supported joint axis for heavy duty use and a large opening width for thicker cables. The compact, low-weight construction makes it universally usable in assembly, maintenance, and production. It requires 40% less force compared with standard diagonal cutters of the same length.
