      How does this model differ from the Internet # 303688619? Why is one more expensive than the other? Which of the two is tougher on hard steel, and do they both provide full flush cut?

      Answer This Question

      Is this an angled cutter with flush cut? According to image #7 this seems to be an angled cutter, but the descriptions do not mention it.

            I need to clip flush a lot of protruding deck screws. Do you make a flush cutting bolt/screw/nail cutter?

            Answer This Question

            Thank you for contacting Knipex. The 71 22 200 is typically used in this application as it has an angled head. This is our closest option.

              Not what threy are intended for. They probably would but you'd likely lose their wire cutting quality

                  I thought it was an amazing tool, allows me to cut through bolts, screws, and other heavy duty material wire and things that I needed to cut through. I use these mainly to protect the flush cutters or the 8 inch cutters, these I can be a little bit more lenient on since they are so heavy duty. I reach for these anytime I need a heavy duty cut and really it’s most if not all the time. Save your thoughts, just buy it. One of the best tools I believe from knipex along with a few more. When you reach for it, you won’t regret it I believe!

                    Extemely high quality small cutting pliers that are based on bolt cutter concept. These are not bolt cutters. I played around with them and cut through an old antenna. 4mm hardend steel. No way I could bend it by hand. Pliers took about 5 tries to cut bites into the steel but they worked. This will cut through any fence like a hot knife. Will be quite handy in an emergency.

                      This is one of the easiest two thumbs up I could give. The Knipex Cobolt bolt cutters, despite being 10” long, seem only to be limited by the capacity of their jaws, which can accommodate up to 1/4” thick objects. Remarkably, they achieve up to 40x leverage while delivering a straight cutting force centered on their target through an ingenious hinged mechanism allowing both blades to pivot up and clamp down in concert, cutting anything from a piece of paper up to 4.2mm piano wire, 1/4 bolts and rods, etc. These bolt cutters are possibly unmatched in quality and performance in their size range, and come with a lifetime warranty from a respected brand. Therefore I feel they are a solid value and well worth the price range at Home Depot.

                      Nice feeling tool, but looking for durabliity.
                      This compact bolt cutter is a nice tool to have. Mine has chipping on the cutting edge from use. I am currently looking for a replacement. I may end up purchasing again.

                      These cutter are high quality. They fit in well with fence work. I accidentally dropped them while working on my fence and were left outside overnight. If found them covered with dew. I dried them and found no rust. They cut high tensile wire like butter. They are a bit pricey but the right size for fence work.

                      I bought this one due to its great review on Project Farm on YouTube. It beat the competition hands down. I have not used it yet but every other Knipex product I have owned is awesome.

                      I am almost 70 yrs old so I do not have the hand strength to cut heavy wire. These cutters mad easy work of the job I had been dreading. Purchase them, you'll not be sorry.The cutters were delivered just as stated and I had no issues with the delivery process.
