Knipex High Leverage Heavy Duty Centre Cutter - 250mm

This cutter is designed for piano wire, hard wires, and soft wires. Its high leverage is particularly effective on tougher materials.

The forged-on pivot eliminates a conventional center rivet, providing greater leverage and allowing for easier cutting of thick or hard wires with less physical effort.

The cutting edges are induction hardened directly into the tool and are not designed to be user-replaceable. However, they are extremely durable and long-lasting.

The cutter is manufactured from high-grade chrome vanadium electric steel, which is oil-hardened and tempered for maximum strength and durability.

This model is primarily a heavy-duty cutting tool. It does not feature specific insulation stripping functions.

Wipe the handles with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the plastic coating. Ensure they are dry after cleaning.

Inspect the pivot joint for debris. Clean and lubricate the joint. If damage is visible, professional assessment may be required.

Clean the pivot area thoroughly and apply a light machine oil. Work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Gently remove rust spots with fine steel wool or a rust remover. Clean and immediately apply a light protective oil to prevent recurrence. Ensure proper dry storage.
