Precision Nippers for Concrete Work
The Knipex 99-14-250 is a 10 inch high-leverage nipper built for cutting tie wire and soft materials on site. Its black atramentized steel jaws resist corrosion while the nickel-plated handles provide a secure grip. This tool suits tradespeople who need reliable cutting force in a compact hand tool.
Upgrade from Standard Linesman Pliers
General-purpose pliers often lack the jaw geometry to cleanly shear 1/8 inch nail wire or 5/64 inch copper and plastic. The high-leverage pivot multiplies hand force so the cut finishes with less effort. The jump is worth it when repetitive tying or trimming causes fatigue with lesser tools.
Fits a Tool Belt or Pouch
At 10 inches long the nippers sit flat in a standard belt pouch without snagging. The slim 29/32 inch jaw length reaches into tight formwork gaps where bulkier cutters cannot. They free up space by replacing a separate bolt cutter for light gauge wire tasks.

Questions about this item
How much clearance does the 2 1/16 in jaw width need in a formwork tie?
The 2 1/16 in jaw width fits standard formwork ties and rebar loops; measure the tie gap before cutting to confirm the nippers can close fully around the wire.
What is the correct hand position to engage the high-leverage joint on the 99 14 250?
Grip the 10 in handles near the ends so the pivot multiplies force; placing hands too close to the joint reduces leverage and makes cutting 1/8 in nail wire harder.
When should the cutting edges be dressed or the tool replaced?
Inspect the black atramentized edges after heavy use; if 5/64 in copper wire requires noticeably more force or leaves burrs, sharpen or replace the nippers.
