Knipex 61 01 200 High Leverage Bolt Cutter 8 in

Product Description

The KNIPEX 61 01 200 is a high leverage bolt cutter designed for cutting bolts, rods, wire, and chain in demanding trade environments. At 8 inches overall length, this compact cutter is built for situations where access is tight and cutting force needs to be maximized relative to hand effort. The forged construction contributes to long-term durability under repeated use. The jaw measures 7/8 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in width, with a rated cutting capacity of 6 millimeters. The fiberglass and rubber handle provides grip and shock absorption during cuts. At under 1 pound, it is light enough for all-day carry on a tool belt.

This bolt cutter suits residential and light commercial applications where a compact, high-leverage cutting tool is needed. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for this size when cutting padlock shackles, tie wire, threaded rod, or similar soft to medium hardness stock. The 8-inch overall length fits in a standard tool bag or pouch without difficulty. This is a hand tool intended for professional tradespeople who need reliable cutting performance in a portable format.
