Knipex 74 02 250 Diagonal Cutter 10 Inches Oal

Product Description

The KNIPEX 74 02 250 is a diagonal cutter designed for cutting wire, cable, and similar materials in electrical, HVAC, and general trade work. Built with a steel body and a comfort grip handle, this cutter measures 10 inches overall length with a 1 inch jaw length and 11/16 inch jaw width. The round, straight head profile gives clean access in tight spaces. Maximum cutting capacity reaches 4.6 mm (0.181 inches), covering soft, medium, and hard wire up to that diameter. Meets DIN ISO 5749 standards. Weighing under 1 pound at 0.9634 pounds, it is light enough for all-day use without fatigue.

This diagonal cutter is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, panel work, and instrumentation tasks. The 10 inch overall length provides good leverage for repetitive cuts on copper wire and similar conductors. The comfort grip handle reduces hand strain during extended use. The compact jaw geometry fits into wire troughs, junction boxes, and panel enclosures where larger cutters cannot reach. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and low-voltage installers are the primary users of this tool.

Installation Notes

De-energize all circuits before cutting or trimming wire in any electrical or control panel. Electricians and HVAC technicians should follow NEC and applicable local codes when working inside energized enclosures. Inspect the cutting edges before use and do not exceed the rated cutting capacity, as overloading can damage the blades. Store the tool clean and dry to maintain edge integrity.
