Compact 8-inch bolt cutter
The Knipex 71 01 200 Cobolt Compact Bolt Cutter is an 8-inch hand tool built for cutting bolts and wire. Its jaws are made of steel with a soft and medium-hard Brinell rating of 300 and a Rockwell C31 hardness. The cutting action is positioned at the centre of the head for direct leverage on the workpiece.
Centre-cut action frees workspace
The centre-cut design lets you sever material without needing wide handle swing room, so it fits into tighter spots around a workbench or vehicle. Black atramentized pliers resist corrosion while the plastic-coated handles provide a secure grip. Chrome vanadium steel construction handles the 1/4 inch hard-material capacity rated at Brinell 455 and Rockwell C48.
Sustained cutting holds hardness
Under repeated use the hardened jaws maintain their Rockwell C48 rating on hard materials without rapid edge deformation. The atramentized finish continues to protect the steel surfaces from rust during long sessions. This tool is not suited for cutting thicknesses beyond the rated 1/4 inch capacity or for users needing longer leverage handles.
