10" High Leverage Diagonal Cutting Plier

This Knipex diagonal cutting plier is built for tradespeople who need to cut hard wire and piano wire up to 64 HRC. Its high-leverage design multiplies hand force so tough materials sever with less effort. The 10-inch overall length gives ample reach while the chrome vanadium steel jaws stay sharp through repeated use. Professionals working long shifts will appreciate the ergonomic handle that reduces fatigue.

Ergonomic handle reduces fatigue during extended use

The shaped grips spread pressure across the palm so operators can keep cutting through medium-hard, hard and piano wire without hand strain. Chrome vanadium steel construction resists wear and corrosion in workshop environments. High-leverage geometry keeps cutting force consistent from the first snip to the last. No powered actuation means silent operation and zero electrical draw.

Cuts piano wire up to 64 HRC

The decisive specification is the 64 HRC cutting capacity, which confirms the jaws can sever piano wire as well as medium-hard and hard wire. Buyers who need to cut softer materials only may choose a lighter plier, while those requiring cuts above 64 HRC must select a different tool. Jaws measure 1 1/16 inches wide and 7/8 inches long for precise placement.

Questions about this item

How do I use the 10 in high-leverage pliers to cut piano wire without slipping?

Position the wire deep in the jaws, 1 1/16 in wide and 7/8 in long, and squeeze the ergonomic handles steadily; the leverage multiplies force so the 64 HRC edges shear cleanly without the wire jumping out.

What part of the 74 08 250 SBA wears out first and how do I know when to replace it?

The chrome vanadium steel cutting edges dull after repeated 64 HRC cuts; when you feel extra effort or see nicks on the jaws, the plier should be retired.

At what point does the handle grip become the limiting factor during long cutting sessions?

The ergonomic handle reduces fatigue, but sustained cutting of hard wire will eventually strain your hand before the 10 in tool itself overheats or deforms.
