High-Leverage Diagonal Cutters 10 in
The Knipex 74 01 250 SBA is a high-leverage diagonal cutting plier built for cutting hard and soft wire. Its 10 in overall length gives increased leverage compared with shorter models. The oval nose shape and standard cut profile suit general electrical and maintenance tasks. The orange and brown cushion grips provide comfort during repetitive use.
Sustained Cutting Behaviour
The high-leverage design reduces the hand force required for each cut, which helps limit fatigue during extended sessions. The joint construction keeps the cutting edges aligned over repeated cycles. The tool is not ESD-safe, not insulated and not non-sparking, so it is not suited for live electrical work or explosive atmospheres. The standard cushion grips do not offer tether attachment points.
Compatibility Checklist
Verify that the maximum cutting diameter of 1/8 in and the hard-steel capacity of 9/64 in cover the wire sizes you encounter. Confirm that a 1 in jaw length and 1 1/8 in jaw width fit the access space in your application. The 0-degree head offset means the head sits in line with the handles, which may restrict access in tight corners. Ensure manual jaw operation matches your workflow needs.

Questions about this item
How much grip force does the 10 in high-leverage design need for a full-day cutting job?
The 10 in overall length gives high leverage so hand fatigue stays low during extended use.
What wire types can the 1/8 in jaw opening and 0.125 in max diameter actually cut?
It cuts soft wire up to 1/8 in and hard steel up to 9/64 in with the standard cut profile.
Will the 1 in jaw length and oval nose reach the same tight spots as my older 8 in cutters?
The 1 in jaw length and oval nose provide similar reach while the 10 in handles add extra leverage.
