Knipex 71 41 200 Bolt Cutter 8 Inches 20 Degree Angled Head

Product Description

The KNIPEX 71 41 200 is a compact 8-inch bolt cutter designed for cutting bolts, wire rope, cable, and hardened fasteners in tight spaces. The 20-degree angled head positions the jaw for improved sightlines and access in confined work areas. Jaw dimensions are 18 mm in length and 33 mm in width, with a jaw thickness of 6 mm. The ergonomic dual-component handle reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks. At 0.8 pounds, this tool is light enough for one-handed use on the job site or in a service vehicle kit.

This bolt cutter is suited for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and general trade applications where a full-size cutter is impractical. It handles 1/4-inch cable, 7/32-inch medium-hard wire, and 3/16-inch hard wire. The short overall length of 8 inches makes it a practical addition to a service tech toolkit when working inside panels, enclosures, or mechanical rooms. It is also commonly used by electricians for cutting conductors and cable ties in confined panel work.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Always de-energize and lock out electrical circuits before cutting conductors or cable in electrical enclosures, per NFPA 70E safe work practices. Inspect jaw edges before use and do not exceed the rated cutting capacities for wire hardness and diameter. Keep cutting edges clean and lightly lubricated at the joint pivot for consistent performance.
