## Description

Versatile diagonal cutter with precision edges for soft and hard wires. High-quality chrome vanadium steel for long-lasting performance and clean, accurate cuts.

Review: Excellent quality cutters at a great price - I tend to only buy Knipex as they hold onto their cutting edge longer than other brands imho. These were priced £10 cheaper than my local National tool store and that’s a big saving. Top quality tool and worth every penny
Review: Knipex Quality - Always had a pair of Knipex snips in the toolbag as you can't beat them for tht money. Bang on for anybody in an electrical trade and have always stayed sharp for a solid 6 months which is good going for me given that they get abused daily.

## Features

A: Test it see if it’s ok if it doesn’t do it send them back they are too exspensive not to cut right they shouldn’t have burn marks other takes strength out of them if not tempered correctly
