The larger 200mm size is for bigger jobs. Review: Well made pair of cutters - Leaving the Knipex hipe on the side, I can tell that they are well made. Sharp and easy to hold, can cut trough screws with some effort and cables are not a problem for them. I couldn't cut very thin sheet metal, but they are not designed for that. I will recommend to someone that look after the tools and enjoy using quality. Or people that use them on a regular basis for work, so the price difference between a cheaper set is justified. If you are "saving" to get a decent pair of cutting pliers, might not be the best choice. Since a tool is mean to be used without hesitation or fear of damaging it and this ones are to pretty to use them as a hammer. Even though I believe they can take the beat! ## Features - For very tough, continuous use - High cutting performance with minimum effort due to optimum coordination of the cutting edge angle and transmission ratio - Precision cutting edges also induction-hardened (hardness approx. 64 HRC), for all wire types including piano wire ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001D8PEE | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,985 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 13 in Side-cutting Pliers | | Brand | KNIPEX | | Colour | Multi-component Grips, Blue/Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,113) | | Cutting Width | 3.4 Millimeters | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04003773023081 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Included Components | Components Included | | Item Dimensions L x W | 17L x 5.7W centimetres | | Item Type Name | ALICATES DE CORTE DIAGONAL | | Item Weight | 209 Grams | | Manufacturer | Knipex | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Manufacturer guarantee. | | Material | Chromium-Vanadium Steel | | Model Number | 74 02 160 | | Part Number | 74 02 160 | | Set Name | 74 Series | | Specification Met | DIN ISO 5749 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Usage | Cutting | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KNIPEX - **Colour:** Multi-component Grips, Blue/Red - **Cutting width:** 3.4 Millimeters - **Grip type:** Ergonomic - **Handle material:** Alloy Steel - **Item weight:** 209 Grams - **Material:** Chromium-Vanadium Steel - **Product dimensions:** 17L x 5.7W centimetres - **Specific uses for product:** Cutting - **Specification met:** DIN ISO 5749 ## Images ![74 02 160 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RBMhCVRtL.jpg) ![74 02 160 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Bp9TQC3uL.jpg) ![74 02 160 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612U+c7tnUL.jpg) ![74 02 160 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41NjPwbrwFL.jpg) ![74 02 160 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/415ka7HUy1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color, Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality cutters *by A***W on 11 August 2025* Great for cutting guitar strings.
