Knipex X-Cut

X-Cut splitters feature a compact design adapted for extreme stress and considerable power savings. Because of the optimal adjustment of the blade angle and gear ratio, you will receive a high cutting power with a tiny force. Compared to standard power splitting pliers of the same length, you save up to 40% of the power. The pliers cut perfectly through thin wires, but the jaws can be held wide open and can cut even multilayer cables and a rigid spring wire.
