Very well built German quality. Works very well, but you will pay for the quality. It’s like buying a Klein tool.

These pliers are incredibly durable and manufactured with high quality materials. I purchased these pliers specifically to cut and remove old wire fencing on my farm. These pliers cut thru the wire fencing with ease. I highly recommend these KNIPEX cutting pliers.

Nice.

These are excellent fencing cutters for my application. Mine came with a big “blob” of whatever they coat the tool with on the cutter. Makes no difference in function but would expect better control for the price. Still an awesome, heirloom quality tool.

This is my second pair and I will use other knipex tools in the future I love them
Abbigail Hirthe (verified owner) –
Exactly as advertised. Excellent cutting strength with minimal force. The grips are more comfortable than your standard Knipex pliers. Though I could imagine them being uncomfortable if you have small hands.

This knipex cuts through metal fencing like butter. I would totally recommend this cutter. It’s not cheap, but so worth it.

Purchased for ’emergency/just-in-case’ situation. Needed something that can reliably cut a harden hook out of you when fishing in the wilderness of Canada. Tested here at home on some older lures and works perfectly. It provides positive sure cutting one handed.

I had this Knipex bolt cutter for a long time. After a friend got a hook in his finger last month. They could not cut the hook with the regular plier. I introduced the Knipex. Now everyone has asked me to buy one for them. It cut any hook size like toothpick. It is a must tool in the offshore tackle box. About order a third one for another friend.
