This product is more properly a heavy duty wire cutter rather than a bolt cutter. It cuts a ten penny common nail easily with 1 hand, and cuts a 16 penny nail with good pressure from two hands. (For comparison: I squeezed my bathroom scales and found that with both hands I can hold the scale at 150 lbs without bounce.) It cuts all types of insulated wire commonly used in houses easily and cleanly. I am unable to use it to cut cattle panel wire. The jaws open wide enough but it would not cut 1/4 inch round material unless it was exceptionally soft. This is a quality wire/nail cutter. It is a very handy size and comfortable to use. The lock mechanism is great. It serves well for most home/hobby wire cutting needs and will last most non-commercial users decades. If you need a wire cutter buy it. It is a good value.

La Knipex Cobolt è una tronchese eccezionale, per adesso ho tagliato soltanto dei chiodi di 2,5 mm di diametro e delle viti di 4 mm di diametro e li ho potuti tagliare con una sola mano senza sforzo, è una tronchese maneggevole che pesa circa 350 grammi, la qualità costruttiva è eccellente come tutti i prodotti di questo marchio, perfetta per professionisti e hobbisti; in sintesi una tronchese affidabile e potente.

KNIPEX 71 12 200 CoBolt Compact Bolt Cutters I have very weak wrists and hands so cutting wire is hell for me. I get lightening pains up through my wrists and arms using my old normal wore cutters. These still take some pressure with the larger stiff, little more than I thought it would however they are amazing. No more pains up my arms. I can cut about 9 times the amount in one day than I used to with the normal wire cutters. Picture of the new and old cutters attached. I cut barbed wire and cattle fencing wires, also chicken wire (which is such a brease to cut with these). Well worth the money, I highly recommend them. Update: I have now been using these for 9 months, they all of a sudden became really really stiff, they were not springing back open on there own and I had to really pull them open and squash hard for them to close (the spring is perfectly fine). I tried pouring some chain saw oil over them which did not help at all. So I took them to a tool repair shop who sprayed them with a lubricant that had smaller particles (chain saw oil is too thick and heavy to penetrate into the tiny gaps). When your cutting a lot of wire it creates a miniscule metal dust (like a powder) that gets stuck in the moving parts and causes it to jam. They recommended that I use WD40 to spray on it each time I use it to clean out the hinges. It is now as good as new, working perfectly again. So keep them clean and lubricated :) If this review has been informative for you could you please give me a helpful vote below : ) Cheers

Kom smutsig, uppackad och med trasig kartong. Men funkade fint ändå.

High quality
