Knipex Quality - Made in Germany

High Leverage Diagonal Cutter.


20% reduction of hand force due to high leverage power joint

Knipex 74 01 180 High Leverage Diagonal Cutter, 7 1/4-inch

At a Glance:

  • High-leverage cutting performance with minimum effort
  • Fixed forged axle rivet for heavy duty use
  • Cuts piano wire, ACSR, nails, and other hard wire
  • Precision cutting edge hardness of 64 HRC (approximate)

Knipex 74 01 180, 7 1/4-inch High Leverage Diagonal Cutter

Knipex high-leverage diagonal cutters are ideal for tough, continuous use. They are easy to use and offer a high-leverage axel design. This design provides a 20 percent reduction in required force compared to conventional cutters of the same length for reduced fatigue. They feature optimum coordination of the cutting edge angle, transmission ratio, and ergonomic handle shape, and they easily cut nails and all types of wire with high-performance precision.

Forged from oil-hardened chrome vanadium steel, our diagonal cutters are built to last. The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutters has to stand up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But our satisfied users are worth this effort. The fixed forged axle rivet joint assures continuous smooth operation with no weakening or wobbling effect over time. The precision matched, induction-hardened cutting edges cut a wide range of materials — from soft copper and aluminum to hardened materials like nails, piano wire, or ACSR wire without changing tools or damaging the cutting edges.


Suitable for all types of wire

Specifications:
  • Cutting capacity: Up to 5/32-inch medium-hard wire; 7/64-inch hard wire, and 3/32-inch piano wire
  • Length: 7 1/4 inches
  • Weight: 8.5 ounces
  • Handles: Plastic Coated

Quality in Every Detail

Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look.

The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.

Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Knipex Quality
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2023
Style: 10-InchPattern Name: CuttersVerified Purchase
I have an unabashed love for my collection of Knipex tools, and these diagonal cutters are, without a doubt, a standout addition to my toolbox. They're not just tools; they're trusty companions on my daily journey of fixing and creating. These cutters, in particular, are beasts, and they fearlessly tackle any thick wires or cables I dare to throw their way.

The first thing you'll notice about them is their size – they're not your average cutters; they're big, bold, and built to endure. When you're dealing with hefty wires that seem like they could double as suspension cables for a bridge, these Knipex diagonal cutters rise to the occasion. They slice through with the precision of a samurai sword, leaving clean, effortless cuts in their wake.

But it's not just their strength that impresses me; it's their reliability. Whether I'm working on a challenging electrical project or just doing some DIY magic around the house, I know I can depend on these cutters to get the job done. They're like the superhero of my toolbox, swooping in to save the day whenever a cable needs snipping or a wire needs trimming.

In the world of tools, where performance and durability are paramount, Knipex has always been a name I trust. And these diagonal cutters only reinforce that trust. They're not just tools; they're an extension of my craftsmanship, helping me bring my projects to life with precision and ease. So, if you're in the market for a pair of cutters that can handle the thickest wires and cables with finesse, look no further. These Knipex diagonal cutters are the real deal – a testament to quality and performance in the world of tools.

5.0 out of 5 stars The usual Knipex quality
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2023
Style: 10-InchPattern Name: CuttersVerified Purchase
At this point I'm just a believer in Knipex's quality, I buy stuff that has "Knipex" printed on them...
But I don't make reviews without trying. I used this product to cut iron wire, aluminium, and a single hair as a test.

It cuts as if the blades are sharp, but they don't feel *that* sharp when I put my finger on them. Must be applying a lot of force (which is the most important consideration in these).

So overall, good leverage, good metal quality, sharp-enough edge, decent grip design. Can't go wrong with this if you don't need a special cutting angle.

EDIT: I've also cut some metal pieces from a power outlet and some loose strands of fabric. It cuts so easily that you might not notice it's already cut!

Not as sharp as some tool truck brands. The grips are average. Aesthetics are nice. Feels good in the hand. The best quality; they chomp anything reasonable, and they don't get dull.

This is my second pair. The first pair are at work still going strong; never warrantied. The price on these in October 2023 is so affordable. $35 for mine.
