## Description

Knipex 71 12 200 Compact Bolt Cutter Cobolt : desertcart.in: Home Improvement

Review: Damaged/used product delivered
Review: This product is more properly a heavy duty wire cutter rather than a bolt cutter. It cuts a ten penny common nail easily with 1 hand, and cuts a 16 penny nail with good pressure from two hands. (For comparison: I squeezed my bathroom scales and found that with both hands I can hold the scale at 150 lbs without bounce.) It cuts all types of insulated wire commonly used in houses easily and cleanly. I am unable to use it to cut cattle panel wire. The jaws open wide enough but it would not cut 1/4 inch round material unless it was exceptionally soft. This is a quality wire/nail cutter. It is a very handy size and comfortable to use. The lock mechanism is great. It serves well for most home/hobby wire cutting needs and will last most non-commercial users decades. If you need a wire cutter buy it. It is a good value.

La Knipex Cobolt è una tronchese eccezionale, per adesso ho tagliato soltanto dei chiodi di 2,5 mm di diametro e delle viti di 4 mm di diametro e li ho potuti tagliare con una sola mano senza sforzo, è una tronchese maneggevole che pesa circa 350 grammi, la qualità costruttiva è eccellente come tutti i prodotti di questo marchio, perfetta per professionisti e hobbisti; in sintesi una tronchese affidabile e potente.
