Questions & Answers
What is the difference between Knipex 71 31 250 and 71 31 250 sba ?
Thank you for contacting KNIPEX. The product is the same, the only difference is the packaging.

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?
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.
Thank you for contacting Knipex. This has a center cut cutting edge shape.
How does this differ (besides the tether) from the 71 32 200 T BKA?
Thank you for contacting Knipex. The only difference between the two tools is the tether.
Is this pair 6 or 8 inches long? I checked the box “6” but the descriptions show “8 in…”.
Thank you for contact Knipex. The total length of the product is 8 inches. The 6 inch option is the handle length.
I need to clip flush a lot of protruding deck screws. Do you make a flush cutting bolt/screw/nail cutter?
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
Where is it manufactured?
Thank you for contacting Knipex. This tool is made in Germany.
