Knipex 71 32 200 Bolt Cutter 8 Inches Standard Head

Product Description

The KNIPEX 71 32 200 is a compact 8-inch bolt cutter built for cutting bolts, wire, cable, and chain stock in tight spaces where a full-size cutter cannot reach. The tool measures 200 mm (8 inches) overall and features a standard head with an 18 mm jaw length, 33 mm jaw width, and 6 mm jaw thickness. The ergonomic dual-component handle is designed to reduce hand fatigue during repeated cuts. An efficient joint design transfers force effectively, so less effort is required at the handles to complete a cut. At 0.77 pounds, this cutter is light enough for a tool belt or pouch. Licensed electricians, plumbers, and general trades use this size for utility and finish work where accessibility is a priority.

This bolt cutter suits residential and light commercial applications where a portable, single-hand-portable cutting tool is needed. It is well-suited for cutting soft to medium-hard wire, cable up to 1/4 inch, medium-hard rod up to 7/32 inch, and hard stock up to 3/16 inch. Its compact form makes it a practical addition to service technicians who work in confined panels, junction boxes, or mechanical rooms. The spring-loaded return action keeps the jaws open between cuts, improving workflow when making multiple cuts in sequence.

Installation Notes

This tool requires no installation. Always inspect the cutting edges before use and ensure the target material is within the rated capacity for the hardness class. Do not use this cutter on hardened steel or materials beyond the stated capacity ratings, as this can chip or damage the blades. Store with the handles in the open position to relieve spring tension during extended storage.
