I’ve had cheaper wire cutters that I wasn’t really satisfied with, but these are a bit pricey but I am pleased with the quality and would purchase these again

Great tool and never fails when needed
Kylie Jaskolski (verified owner) –
Excellent wire cutters!
Enrico Heathcote (verified owner) –
They work very nicely with no problems so far. I’ve used them to cut some 12 penny nails, barb wire, other fence wire and several steel bands that were around a stack of metal roofing.
Terrell Lowe (verified owner) –
They are awesome. My wife thought they were to small to be a real tool until she seen what they can cut. Now she is a believer!
Jeremy Bartell (verified owner) –
These pliers easily cut through small wire fencing I was removing. It’s a high quality made tool.

I bought these as they are the recommended tool for cutting your dog out of a snare trap. Hopefully I’ll never need to use them for this purpose but they will be in my backpack.

I special ordered this thru HomeDepot.com. Knipex top notch quality! The cutting head is perfect. The comfort grip is nice. I wish the handles didn’t open as wide (as I have normal to smaller size hands). But other than that, it is great.

cool tool…much better than side-arms cutters
Janis Crist (verified owner) –
We have lots of barbed wire and fencing to clear. This has been great for cutting thru the strands.

The 2 fulcrum design somehow makes thick wire feel like soft cheese. If you use wire cutters a lot, this will save your wrists and hands.

Exactly what I wanted.

Clara Grant (verified owner) –
These cutters are excellent. The blades meet perfectly. The leverage for cutting large, hard, wire is good. They are expensive, but they will probably outlast me.Beyond the cutters themselves, the Manager at the Phoenix Home Depot went to extrordinary length to compensate for poor service with my online order, notice that the cutters were at the store, and inability to find and deliver them to me when I went to the store. His was TRUE customer service!
