Knipex 74 08 250 Us Diagonal Cutting Plier 10 in Insulated

Product Description

The KNIPEX 74 08 250 US is a 10-inch diagonal cutting plier built for electricians and trade professionals who need reliable wire cutting performance with insulated protection. The handles are dual-component insulated grips rated to ASTM F1505, making this tool appropriate for electrical work where insulation is required by code. The ultra-high leverage cutter style reduces hand fatigue on repetitive cuts. At 1.025 pounds, it is a full-size cutter with a 15/16-inch jaw length and a maximum cutting capacity of 3/16 inch for hard materials. The bevel-cut diagonal head style delivers clean, controlled cuts on copper wire, soft steel wire, and similar conductors.

This plier is designed for use by licensed electricians and electrical contractors in residential and commercial applications. It is well suited for panel work, rough-in wiring, device installation, and service calls where insulated tools are required. The 10-inch overall length provides leverage for cutting through heavier gauge conductors without excessive effort. The dual-component red and yellow handle makes the tool easy to identify in a tool pouch or bag. This is a single-piece, individually packaged item with no minimum order beyond one unit.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tool should be performed by a qualified electrician following applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize and lock out circuits before cutting conductors. Insulated handles provide protection but are not a substitute for proper lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the handle insulation for cuts, cracks, or damage before each use and remove the tool from service if insulation integrity is compromised.
