KNIPEX 74 22 250 Heavy Duty High Leverage Diagonal Cutters 250 mm

KNIPEX 74 22 250 Heavy Duty Diagonal Cutters 250 mm
The KNIPEX 74 22 250 heavy duty diagonal cutter, size 250 mm (High Leverage Angled Diagonal Cutter), is the ultimate professional heavy-duty cutting tool from Germany, featuring an advanced ergonomic design to handle large-diameter medium-hard wire, hard wire, and piano wire. Distinctive with its 12° angled head, it provides wrist clearance when cutting flush against flat surfaces or in confined spaces. Equipped with a forged-on axle integrated with an optimum transmission ratio, it saves up to 20% manual cutting effort compared to conventional diagonal cutters. The multi-component grips combine hard and soft plastics for a secure, comfortable hold without causing hand fatigue when exerting force on hard workpieces.  
Features
12° Angled Head: Designed to provide clearance for fingers and wrists, allowing the cutters to easily lie flat against the workpiece surface without obstruction.  
Saves up to 20% cutting effort: The high leverage pivot design combined with the forged-on axle and 250 mm length multiplies hand force and transfers it fully and efficiently to the cutting edges.  
Extremely Robust Cutting Edges: Cutting edges are induction-hardened to a hardness of approximately 64 HRC, capable of cutting up to 3.0 mm piano wire without chipping.  
Multi-component Grips: Dual-color hard and soft plastic sleeves absorb pressure and reduce fatigue during prolonged, heavy-duty use.  
Premium grade chrome vanadium steel: Made of chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel, forged and multi-stage oil-hardened to German standards.  
Applications (Suitable for)
Industrial maintenance, automotive repair, and structural steel work requiring frequent cutting of hard wire.  
Cutting hard wire, spring wire, and piano wire flush to flat surfaces where wrist clearance is needed.  
Construction work for cutting tie wire, nails, or metal pins.  
Ideal for professional technicians seeking heavy-duty cutters that protect wrists, offer soft hand comfort, and reduce strain during use.
