Knipex CoBolt S Compact Bolt Cutters - 160mm

The Knipex CoBolt S has specific cutting capacities: soft wire up to 5.3mm, medium-hard wire up to 4.8mm, hard wire up to 3.6mm, and piano wire up to 3.3mm.

These cutters are designed for solid, hardened materials like bolts and wires, not for cutting stranded electrical cables or wires.

The efficient lever action mechanism amplifies your force, allowing you to cut through tough materials with significantly less physical effort compared to standard cutters.

Induction hardening makes the cutting edge extremely hard (approx. 64 HRC), providing superior durability and the ability to cut through hard materials like bolts and springs effectively.

A slim head means the tool is designed to fit into very tight or confined spaces, making it easier to get the cutters precisely where you need them for cutting.

Regularly clean the cutting edges, apply oil to the joint for smooth operation, and store them in a dry environment. Avoid cutting materials beyond their specified capacity.

The design is symmetrical, and the primary function of cutting is not impacted by handedness. However, the grip and leverage feel may be optimized for right-handed use for some individuals.

Clean the joint mechanism and apply a small amount of oil. Ensure no debris is lodged in the joint.

Check the cutting capacity chart. Ensure the material is within the specified limits for soft, medium-hard, hard, or piano wire. Clean the lasered cutting edge.

Lightly sand the rusted areas with fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, then wipe clean and apply a protective oil coating. Store in a dry place.

This indicates the tool may have been used on material harder than specified. Minor nicks might still allow for cutting, but significant damage may require professional sharpening or replacement.
