This Knipex CoBolt Compact Bolt Cutter has precision cutting edges for soft, hard and piano wire a...This Knipex CoBolt Compact Bolt Cutter has precision cutting edges for soft, hard and piano wire and can also cut parts such as screws, nails. It offers extremely high cutting performance in a convenient length of 200mm with a small, slim head for excellent accessibility. The tool is compact and powerful, cutting bolts, nails, rivets etc. up to 5.2mm diameter. It features heavy-duty, induction-hardened cutting edges for thin, hard wire, screws, and springs with a cutting edge hardness of approximately 64 HRC. The design minimizes physical effort due to an efficient lever action mechanism and prevents slipping of the material to be cut with a lasered cutting edge. It also includes a gripping surface below the joint for gripping and pulling wires from 1.0mm diameter. Constructed from chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel, forged, and multi-stage oil-hardened. Cutting capacities include soft wire: 6.0mm diameter, medium hard wire: 5.2mm diameter, hard wire: 4.0mm diameter, and piano wire: 3.6mm diameter. The tool has a length of 200mm and weighs 335g. The Knipex CoBolt Compact Bolt Cutter is a muscle man in trouser pocket format which multiplies manual force 35 times over. It comes in a black atramentized finish with plastic coated handles for a superior grip. Small tool, big impact - those used to working with standard bolt cutters will appreciate how user-friendly the CoBolt is. Thanks to their practical size of 200 mm and low weight of less than 400 g, the strong compact bolt cutters are quickly at hand and are also a powerful partner in demanding situations, such as when working above head height. Even the hardest wire is no problem, and they master piano wire up to a diameter of 3.6 mm reliably. When cutting bolts, nails and rivets up to a diameter of 6 mm (in the case of soft material), you benefit from maximum power and convenient handling. This high cutting performance is the result of long-standing engineering experience. The precision cutting edges made of chrome-vanadium high performance steel are induction hardened and therefore guarantee the greatest cutting edge hardness. The particularly efficient lever action mechanism guarantees an extremely favourable lever ratio with simultaneously low friction. The CoBolt reinforces the hand force used to grip the handles 35 times over. Features: Micro-structured cutting edge reduces slipping of the material from the jaws With gripping surface below the joint for gripping and pulling wires from 1.0 mm With precision cutting edges for soft, hard and piano wire Cuts bolts, nails, rivets, etc. up to 5.2 mm dia.

Troubleshooting
Cutting edges not cutting cleanly.
Check if the material is within the specified cutting capacity. If within capacity, the cutting edges might be damaged and require sharpening or replacement.
Difficulty in cutting a bolt or wire.
Ensure the material is not exceeding the maximum diameter for the respective wire type. If it is within spec, apply more force or reposition the material in the jaws.
Joint is stiff or difficult to operate.
Lubricate the joint with light machine oil.
Handles feel slippery during use.
Ensure handles are clean and dry. Consider wearing gloves for better grip.
