Description

The KNIPEX 160MM High Leverage Diagonal Cutters (74 02 160) deliver 35% greater cutting force than conventional diagonal cutters of the same size through an optimised lever geometry — making them significantly more effective at cutting hard wire, stainless steel, and larger conductors than standard cutters. The induction-hardened cutting edges at approximately 63 HRC cut hard wire up to 2.7mm and soft wire up to 3.8mm cleanly and consistently.
Forged from chrome vanadium electric steel with a black atramentized finish and polished head, the 74 02 160 is built for a long, demanding professional service life. The three-component KNIPEXTEND comfort handles include dual tether interface points for height-safety applications.
The 160mm high-leverage format is the preferred choice for electricians who regularly cut harder materials — armoured cable wires, stainless fixing screws, and hard wire — without wanting to carry a separate bolt cutter. A highly capable, compact cutting tool that handles a much wider range of materials than its size suggests.
