With the Knipex 73 71 180 TwinForce diagonal cutters, you cut through tough materials easily thanks to the patented double joint design. This mechanism multiplies your manual force up to 39 times, requiring 50% less effort compared to standard high-leverage diagonal cutters. Induction-hardened cutting edges with a hardness of 64 hrc slice cleanly through piano wire up to 3.0 mm, hard wire up to 3.2 mm, and steel tape. The substantially reduced cutting impact relieves strain on your muscles and tendons during repetitive tasks in maintenance, installation, and workshop jobs. For thicker materials, simply notch and reapply closer to the joint. This 180 mm tool gives you maximum control and efficiency on every cut.
