Knipex 71 02 200 Mini Bolt Cutter

The Knipex 71 02 200 is a compact eight‑inch centre‑cut bolt cutter forged from chrome‑vanadium heavy‑duty steel and oil‑hardened for durability. Black atramentized finish resists corrosion while the dual‑component ergonomic grips provide comfort and control. Designed for tradespeople and DIY users who need portable cutting power for wire, bolts and chain.

Ideal for maintenance.

Suited for professionals and hobbyists cutting soft to medium‑hard materials up to Brinell 300 (Rockwell C31) at 6 mm and hard materials up to Brinell 455 (Rockwell C48) at 3 mm. Not for users requiring long‑handle leverage for larger‑diameter rod, heavy‑gauge chain or continuous high‑volume production cutting.

Centre‑cut jaw geometry defines cutting capacity

The centre‑cut action concentrates force at the jaw centre, delivering clean cuts on round and flat stock within the stated hardness limits. Jaw material is forged chrome‑vanadium steel, oil‑hardened, with no replaceable blades. This cutting style determines whether the tool matches the specific fastener or wire profile you must cut.

Questions about this item

How thick a piece can the center-cut jaws sever in soft or medium-hard material?

The cutter handles soft and medium-hard stock up to Brinell 300 or Rockwell C31 with a maximum diameter of 1/4 inch.

How much hand force is needed during a full day of repetitive cuts?

Ergonomic dual-component grips spread pressure across the palm, reducing fatigue during extended use.

Does the tool arrive ready to cut or do I need a separate sharpening step?

Jaws are forged and oil-hardened at the factory, so the cutter is ready for use straight from the box.
