Overview:
The Knipex Twinforce Side Cutter Multi Component Grip 180mm, model 73 72 180 BK, is a compact, high-leverage cutting tool for workshop, site, and maintenance use on construction and garden machinery. It is made from forged, oil-hardened chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel for strength and long service life. A double-hinged joint increases force at the cutting edges, so you need less effort for tough cuts. The polished head and black atramentous finish provide a robust, low-glare surface. Comfortable multi-component handles give good control during repeated work. With a 7 in (180 mm) overall length, it balances reach and portability. Typical cutting capacities include up to 5.5 mm for soft materials, 4.6 mm for medium-hard wire, 3.2 mm for hard wire, and 3.0 mm for piano wire.
