Large high leverage diagonal cutters for hard constant use - a reliable tool for professional users The Knipex 7402250 (carded) has a high cutting capacity and indestructible strength. The high leverage diagonal cutters are highly valued especially by craftsmen. They are also often used in the 250 mm long version on the building site and in manufacturing because they can be used to cut hard materials such as piano wire up to 3.0 Ø mm effortlessly. With a comparatively low weight, optimum geometry and a 20 % energy saving, compared to conventional diagonal cutters of the same size, the Knipex 74 02 250 offers a much better ratio between the force required and cutting capacity. The geometry of the cutting edges, joint and the handles has been designed for efficiency. This tool is also the first choice for hard constant use, e.g. in industry, because its ergonomic design makes work much easier for the user. Because the shape of the handle has been adapted so well to the human hand, the benefits of using these high leverage diagonal cutters are plain to feel and see. The multi-component grips ensure additional comfort. The weight at 437 g is favourable in relation to the high cutting capacity. The Knipex 74 02 250 is also extremely stable due to its particularly strong design with forged joint axle.
