Find out why the KNIPEX X-Cut® Compact Diagonal Cutter has the ideal statistics for a powerful compact tool!
Compact tool for big tasks
Accurate cuts on thin wire, thick cable and spring steel
Thanks to the geometry of the cutting edges and the high-quality chrome vanadium tool steel, accurate cuts of fine copper wire as well as thick, multicore cable with a diameter of up to 12 mm are possible using the KNIPEX X-Cut. The cutting edges on the X-Cut also bite easily through nails and wire of all kinds including spring steel wire (piano wire).
Big energy savings due to high transmission ratio of manual force
The extremely high transmission of manual force leads to around 40 % less effort required compared to conventional diagonal cutters of the same length. Weight only 175 g, length only 160 mm and a large opening width: the ideal statistics for this compact tool!
Tough and strong: box joint design, double guide and double mounted joint axle
The design of these compact diagonal cutters with box joint design offers the greatest possible stability because the handles of the pliers stabilise each other in the joint: the joint axle of the KNIPEX X-Cut is mounted on two sides; the edges of the inner pliers handle are guided on either side. The quality chrome plating permits simple cleaning and is also an advantage if the tool is, for example, kept permanently in a service vehicle where condensation may arise due to changing temperatures. The chrome plating provides effective corrosion resistance.
The box joint design ensures greater stability with low weight.
