Mini Bolt Cutter for Tough Wire
The Knipex 71 01 200 SBA is a miniature bolt and chain cutter built from heavy-duty chrome vanadium steel with a black atramentized finish. It uses a centre-cutting action and a button adjustment mechanism to handle hard, medium and soft steel wire up to specific diameters. This tool suits maintenance technicians, electricians and hobbyists who need high cutting force in a compact hand tool format.
60 Percent Less Effort Required
The cutter’s high-leverage design delivers a cutting force over 30 times higher than the hand force applied, reducing the required effort by 60 percent compared to conventional high-leverage diagonal cutters. Plastic-coated handles provide a secure grip during repetitive use. The unfinished blades maintain their edge on demanding materials without the friction of coated surfaces.
Button Adjustment Simplifies Setup
A button-type adjustment lets the user set the jaw opening quickly without tools, speeding up changeovers between different wire thicknesses. The plastic grips stay comfortable during extended cutting sessions. No additional accessories or software are bundled with this model.

Questions about this item
How do I adjust the cutting jaws on the 71 01 200 SBA?
Press the adjustment button to set the jaw opening; the step users miss is ensuring the button clicks fully into the detent so the blades align under load.
What part of the 71 01 200 SBA wears out first with heavy use?
The unfinished cutting edges will dull before the plastic grips degrade; they can be touched up with a fine file to restore the 60 percent effort advantage.
What thickness of hard steel stops the 71 01 200 SBA during sustained cutting?
Hard steel over 3/16 in diameter is the limit; the 30-times force multiplication cannot overcome the material strength beyond that size.
