Knipex 71 01 250 Sba Bolt Cutter 10 in 7/32 in Capacity

Product Description

The KNIPEX 71 01 250 SBA is a compact bolt cutter built for powerful cutting of larger cross-sections and very hard materials. At approximately 10 inches in overall length, it is sized for controlled, close-quarters work where a full-size bolt cutter would be impractical. The jaw opens to 17 mm wide and cuts up to 6 mm (7/32 inch) in capacity, making it suitable for bolts, wire rope, padlock shackles, and hardened chain links. Two-hand operation is required to generate maximum cutting force. Licensed electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general tradespeople keep this tool on hand for fast, clean cuts on fasteners and rod stock.

This bolt cutter is suited for residential and light commercial jobsites where portability matters. Its short overall length fits in a standard tool bag without the bulk of a 24-inch or 36-inch floor model. Typical applications include cutting threaded rod, wire, soft chain, and rivets during rough-in and service work. The standard cut style means the blade geometry is optimized for straight cuts rather than center or clipper profiles, which is appropriate for general trade use.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Before use, inspect blade edges for chips or misalignment that could cause slipping under load. Always wear appropriate eye protection when cutting hardened materials, as fragments can eject at high velocity. Two-hand operation is required by design; do not attempt single-hand cuts, as this reduces control and cutting force.
