Knipex 7406200SB VDE High Leverage Diagonal Cutter

The Knipex 74 06 200 SB High Leverage Diagonal Cutters are designed for demanding wire-cutting tasks with a chrome-plated head and insulated handles featuring multi-component grips. They feature an integrated forged axle for heavy-duty use and a design that requires about 20% less effort than conventional diagonal cutters of the same length (200 mm). The tool is VDE-tested and has precision cutting edges that are induction-hardened to about 64 HRC, enabling high cutting performance across a range of wire types, including piano wire. With a length of 200 mm and a net weight of 0.308 kg, these cutters combine durability, ergonomics, and reliability for continuous, tough work. The cutting geometry and transmission ratio are optimized for efficient operation, and the redesigned handle shape brings the sleeves closer to the joint for improved control. The handles are insulated, and the tool is suitable for professional use where insulation and high leverage are essential.
