Bolt cutter pliers Knipex CoBolt 71 32 200

The Knipex CoBolt 71 32 200 bolt cutter pliers are compact, robust cutting pliers made from forged chrome vanadium steel with oil hardening. At 200 mm length and weighing 370 g, they are designed for cutting bolts, nails, rivets and wires up to 5.2 mm diameter. The pliers feature precision cutting edges that are induction hardened to approximately 64 HRC and a joint geometry developed for efficient cutting performance. An integrated opening spring and locking device in the handles support comfortable work and safe transport, while a gripping surface below the joint allows pulling and gripping wires from 1.0 mm diameter.

Advantages

Precision cutting edges and induction hardening (approx. 64 HRC) increase edge life and maintain cutting performance on soft and hard wire, including piano wire. The optimized joint design delivers efficient force transmission for cleaner cuts. Forged chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel with oil hardening provides durability and resistance to wear. Integrated opening spring and locking device improve handling and safety, and the additional gripping surface under the joint expands functionality for pulling and gripping wires.

Suitable for

• Cutting bolts, nails, rivets up to 5.2 mm diameter
• Cutting soft and hard wire, including piano wire
• Work in confined spaces where a compact 200 mm tool is required
• Gripping and pulling wires from 1.0 mm diameter

How to use

Place the cutting edges around the fastener or wire to be cut, keeping the pliers perpendicular to the cutting axis for a clean cut. Squeeze the handles firmly until the material is severed. Use the integrated opening spring to reduce hand strain during repetitive cuts and engage the locking device before storing or transporting the pliers. For pulling or gripping wires, use the serrated surface below the joint and apply steady force while maintaining control of the tool.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses when cutting. Do not exceed the specified maximum cutting diameter of 5.2 mm. Avoid cutting hardened materials beyond the tool's intended capacity to prevent damage to cutting edges. Keep the pliers clean and lightly lubricated at the joint for reliable operation.
