High-Leverage Diagonal Cutting Pliers
The Knipex 74 01 200 SBA is an 8 in high-leverage diagonal cutting plier finished in charcoal. Its oval nose and 1 in jaw length provide a secure grip on wire and small components. The manual cushion grips reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks. Designed for standard cut profiles, it handles hard steel up to 1/8 in diameter.
Electricians and mechanics needing strong cutting
The high-leverage design multiplies hand pressure, making it suitable for professionals cutting hard wire regularly. Buyers who need insulated handles for live electrical work should look elsewhere, as this model carries no voltage rating. Users requiring ESD-safe tools for sensitive electronics assembly will also need a different plier. The fixed pivot and standard cushion grip limit use in tethered or high-precision applications.
Maximum cutting diameter 0.094 in
This single figure defines the thickest wire the jaws can cleanly sever. The plier cuts hard steel up to 1/8 in and standard wire up to 0.094 in. Exceeding this diameter risks jaw damage or incomplete cuts. Match your typical wire gauge to this limit before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 8-inch length over other sizes?
The 8-inch overall length gives high leverage for cutting hard wire up to 1/8 inch diameter while keeping the tool compact enough for tight spaces.
What does the 0.094-inch maximum wire cutting diameter mean in practice?
It means the pliers cleanly cut solid or stranded wire up to that thickness, which covers most electrical and automotive wiring tasks.
How does the manual jaw opening affect cutting performance?
The manual opening lets you control bite pressure directly, so you can make precise cuts without a spring mechanism adding resistance.
