Knipex X-Cut cuts fine wires as well as multi-strand cables and piano wires. It offers powerful, lightweight, and versatile performance. The high cutting power requires minimal effort thanks to the optimal coordination of cutting edge angle and transmission ratio. The shear joint design ensures maximum stability with low weight, while the double-bearing joint axis guarantees high load capacity. It features a wide opening for thicker cables and a compact, lightweight construction. This tool is universally applicable in assembly, maintenance, and production, requiring 40% less force compared to standard side cutters of the same length.
