Cutting Pliers

Want clean, fast cuts every time?

KNIPEX cutting pliers are built with quality, innovation, and you in mind. They'll be a reliable partner for all your cutting needs.

Ideal for cutting through wires and cables with precision, diagonal cutting pliers feature a high-leverage design, making it easier to cut through tough materials with less effort.

For heavy-duty cutting tasks, bolt cutters are the right choice cutting through bolts, chains, and wire ropes. They offer maximum cutting performance with minimal effort.

Specifically designed for delicate work in electronics and fine mechanics, electronics pliers provide precise cuts with minimal damage to the surrounding material.

Lastly, end cutting pliers are suitable for flush cutting of wires and nails. They provide a clean cut close to the surface.
