Review on πŸ”ͺ KNIPEX High Leverage Diagonal Cutters (7401250) - Top Tools for Optimal Performance by Ben Walls

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High leverage means HIGH LEVERAGE!

I am a Soyuz Electrician and I use and maintain my tools on a daily basis as tools are my livelihood. However, a decent pair of side cutters along with small knives and a needle nose are the be-all and end-all of my career. Now I'm only on my second set after seeing my first set destroyed after renting them out (never again btw). I've tried a lot of different side cutters over the years and the 10" HL Knipex are my absolute favorites. They cut up to #8awg with ease and can go through #1 and 1/0 with minimal effort. Plus they have you all day with them Spent cutting everything related to commercial and industrial electrical work (seismic wires, aircraft cables, connecting wire, SO cables, etc.) before my first unit was damaged due to a circuit.I have worked with them for 4 years and they have worked just as well the last day as the day I bought them.They are well made as is almost everything Knipex designs and worth every penny.If you receive a new pair of Knipex side cutters I urge you Don't take a moment to contemplate the beauty of the design before putting it to good use, you really are an amazing tool!
