KNIPEX 71 12 200 CoBolt Compact Bolt Cutters black atramentized with slim multi-component grips 200 mm

I have several Knipex tools and I'm very happy with them.

Knipex est une marque de très bonne qualité.

This product is more properly a heavy duty wire cutter rather than a bolt cutter. It cuts a ten penny common nail easily with 1 hand, and cuts a 16 penny nail with good pressure from two hands. (For comparison: I squeezed my bathroom scales and found that with both hands I can hold the scale at 150 lbs without bounce.) It cuts all types of insulated wire commonly used in houses easily and cleanly. I am unable to use it to cut cattle panel wire. The jaws open wide enough but it would not cut 1/4 inch round material unless it was exceptionally soft. This is a quality wire/nail cutter. It is a very handy size and comfortable to use. The lock mechanism is great. It serves well for most home/hobby wire cutting needs and will last most non-commercial users decades. If you need a wire cutter buy it. It is a good value.

Another outstanding bit of kit by knipex. I chose to pay a little extra, and went for the sprung pair of these quality mini bolt/wire curlers. Great choice if your going to use these repetitively! Cuts strong piano wire easily, thin steel rod, copper wire, nails, staples thick gauge fishing hooks and most other things within reason. I haven’t came across anything up to now it wouldn’t cut. But bear in mind if your planning to buy them specifically for bolts you would be better going for something a bit bigger. They have a handy catch that locks them closed so they take up less space among your tools, and it also stops them from wearing the cutting edge too I suppose! I managed to get them for a decent price by trawling Amazon (£30 ish as opposed to over £55 some were charging). They weren’t on special offer and I’m not getting any form of payment or discount for writing this review. Yes I’d buy them again, they’re Knipex quality!

La Knipex Cobolt è una tronchese eccezionale, per adesso ho tagliato soltanto dei chiodi di 2,5 mm di diametro e delle viti di 4 mm di diametro e li ho potuti tagliare con una sola mano senza sforzo, è una tronchese maneggevole che pesa circa 350 grammi, la qualità costruttiva è eccellente come tutti i prodotti di questo marchio, perfetta per professionisti e hobbisti; in sintesi una tronchese affidabile e potente.

Kom smutsig, uppackad och med trasig kartong. Men funkade fint ändå.
