With the Knipex 73 06 160 t X-Cut compact diagonal cutter, you cut through fine copper wire as well as hard piano wire up to 2.2 mm with clean precision. Thanks to the box-joint design and optimised lever transmission, you require 40% less manual force compared to conventional diagonal cutters of the same length. This makes repetitive cutting in tight control cabinets and cable runs noticeably easier. When working at height on ladders, scaffolding, or access platforms, the integrated tether attachment point lets you secure the tool against drops. The VDE-tested multi-component grips deliver certified protection on electrical installations up to 1000V, while the chrome-plated finish shields the tool from rust.
