KNIPEX TwinForce® 73 71 180 High Leverage Diagonal Cutter 180 mm

KNIPEX TwinForce® 73 71 180 Heavy-Duty Diagonal Cutters 180 mm
The KNIPEX TwinForce® 73 71 180 High Performance Diagonal Cutter 180 mm is an ultimate cutting tool innovation from Germany, featuring a patented TwinForce® double-hinged design. This mechanism multiplies hand force, making it much easier to cut hard and thick materials such as piano wire, steel wire, or rivets, reducing required effort by up to 50% compared to conventional heavy-duty diagonal cutters. The compact 180 mm size fits comfortably in the hand, and the high-quality plastic-coated handles provide a secure, durable grip, meeting the demands of professionals who require continuous cutting or work with extremely hard workpieces.
Features
Double-hinged design: Patented TwinForce® mechanism multiplies cutting force, making it easy to cut extra thick or hard materials with only half the effort.
Cuts extremely hard wire: Capable of cutting steel wire, spring wire, and piano wire up to 3.0 mm.
Cuts thick workpieces by re-positioning: Capable of cutting thick cables or wires up to 4.0 mm with 2–3 successive cuts without needing large bolt cutters.
Tough and durable cutting edges: Induction-hardened cutting edges reach a hardness of approximately 64 HRC, maintaining long-lasting sharpness.
Reduced cutting impact: The double-hinged structure reduces the cutting shock when the material is severed, minimizing fatigue and protecting the user's hand tendons and joints.
Premium material: Made of chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel, forged and multi-stage oil-hardened.
