Bolt cutter pliers Knipex 61 02 200 Chromium-vanadium steel 200 mm

The Knipex 61 02 200 bolt cutter pliers are compact, robust cutting tools made from chromium-vanadium steel and forged with oil hardening. At 200 mm length and approximately 435 g, these pliers combine a high‑leverage joint and induction‑hardened cutting edges to deliver exceptional cutting capacity for bolts and a range of wire types, including piano wire. Slim two‑colour multi‑component sleeves without collars provide a comfortable grip and simpler transport.

Advantages

Compared with conventional lever‑assisted end cutting nippers, these bolt cutter pliers offer greater cutting capacity with less user effort and improved handling. The cutting edges are induction hardened to about 64 HRC for long life, and the large contact surface on the handles distributes pressure evenly for increased comfort during extended use.

Suitable for

• Cutting bolts and threaded rods
• Cutting soft and hard wire, including piano wire
• Electrical, construction and workshop tasks requiring precise end cuts

How to use

Position the bolt cutter pliers so the material to be cut is as close to the cutting joint as possible. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the cutting edges close fully. For hard materials such as piano wire, use controlled force and ensure the cutting edges align correctly before completing the cut. Keep hands clear of the cutting edges and use appropriate personal protective equipment.

Recommendations

Do not use the pliers to cut live electrical conductors and avoid twisting movements while cutting. Inspect cutting edges regularly and sharpen or replace if damaged. Store the tool dry and apply light rust protection after cleaning to maintain performance.
