Knipex Concrete Mesh Cutter 71 82 950
This Knipex hand tool is a concrete mesh cutter built for professionals who cut reinforcing steel on site. A lever-action mechanism multiplies hand force so the cutting force is over 30 times higher than the effort applied. The design needs 60 percent less effort than conventional high-leverage diagonal cutters. It handles hard steel up to 1/4 in and medium or soft steel up to 3/8 in diameter.
Suited for steel fixers and concrete crews.
Trade workers who repeatedly cut mesh and rebar will benefit from the reduced strain and high leverage. The centre-cut action and screw adjustment give consistent performance on round steel stock. Buyers who need to cut sheet metal, wire rope or non-ferrous materials should look at a different tool because the blade geometry is optimised for steel rod only.
37-1/2 inch overall length decides reach
The 37-1/2 in length sets the leverage ratio and determines how deep you can reach into a mesh mat. At 8.15 weight units the tool stays manageable for repetitive cuts. If your work requires a shorter handle for tight spaces or a longer handle for maximum leverage, this fixed length will not match that requirement.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the Knipex 71 82 950 cutter and do I need to buy anything else?
The cutter is supplied as a single hand tool with no extra accessories or consumables required for operation.
How do I choose the right version of this concrete mesh cutter for my needs?
Only the 37-1/2 inch length model 71 82 950 is offered, so selection is simply confirming that length suits your reach and workspace.
What does the 30 times cutting force advantage mean when I use the tool on site?
The lever-action mechanism multiplies hand force so that cutting hard steel up to 1/4 inch diameter requires roughly one-thirtieth of the effort compared to conventional cutters.
