The superior power side cutter with the patented double joint offers optimal leverage through its double joint construction. It reliably cuts all types of wire as well as band material, making it suitable for both coarse and fine cutting. The cutting impact is minimal, which protects the hand and relieves muscles and tendons. This side cutter allows for comfortable use, making it ideal for frequent cutters or particularly tough cutting tasks.
High stability and a play-free operation are ensured by forged and precision-milled joint axes. Made from chrome-vanadium high-performance steel, forged and oil-hardened, it enables extremely easy cutting with minimal effort. It cuts 50% easier than the proven KNIPEX power side cutter.
New for side cutters is the ability to reposition. Even 4 mm thick wires can be cut by the KNIPEX Twinforce® with 2 to 3 repositioning actions without significant effort. Conventional power side cutters often cannot cut such diameters at all or can only do so with very high effort.
