As compound wire cutters go, these are the ONLY professional grade ones on the market. The design is smart and effective. You can really feel the cutting power on these compared to normal diagonals. There are only a few issues that still bug me. The diagonals do not open very wide which is the nature of the beast because it's a compound action. So a lot of the times you will have to cut twice, first to crush it part way then seat the nail all the way into the diagonal. If you cut this way, it really easy but then again your cutting twice. And if your cutting a big fatty cable your going to need to cut twice again.

I purchased these for very thick wire (#4 copper ground wire), and they are not as easy cutting as the NWS Fantastico Plus (see my review of that). I am sorting through my diagonal cutters, and these AND the NWS are in the keep pile. The Knipex requires more effort and repositioning for making the complete cut, but my experience with Knipex is that these cutters will be cutting perfectly and consistently when the the NWS cutters are dented and unusuable.So: #2 behind the NWS Fantastico Plus for day to day cutting, but will probably last forever, especially on steel wire.

I have had this for over a year and I love and use this tool often. I put a video up so I wont go over points I made in the video but I can say that the edges on the cutter have no dings, gaps or chips in them and cut just as good as a couple thousand cuts ago. Just please, if you are buying these for large diameter cutting applications for the main use of this tool look elsewhere and stop negatively reviewing this tool because you bought it for the wrong application.

I literally have not found anything these will not cut. Despite abusing them in all sorts of inappropriate ways the cutting edges show no signs of wear at all. The high-leverage design is a winner for sure. You simply apply pressure and when it gets uncomfortable release and squeeze again. The second squeeze changes the apex and allows the blades to slice through the wire. Probably best to look away or wear eye protection when using them.

Anyone familiar with Knipex knows that everything the company makes is great. These cutters are no exception. They cut beyond their size so they are great if you have limited space in your box or want to consolidate several cutters down to one. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they are pretty pricey. Other than that, they're great.

OK. I bought the tool but haven't had a chance to use it yet. What that tells you is that I don't often use such tools but the obvious advantage in having a shifting pivot point to increase leverage strongly appealed to me as a brilliant design. I'm looking forward to putting it to use some day soon.

This cutter cuts comparable wires vey easily with ease. If you want a compact cutter that cuts well, then this is it. I have another Knipex cutter that has similar capacity but handles are a lot longer. This compact size makes it easy to get around tight spaces. Handles are comfortable to hold.

I liked the unique symmetrical design where both sides move evenly. I ended up returning these in favor of the (also german) Irwin high leverage cutters as they are more versatile in the electrician world. (Wider and longer jaws, longer handle for better leverage)

The best name in pliers, these are no exception. I'me a full time contractor and use these for everything from wire to nails to fencing without issue. Cuts easily up to it's rated capacity and so far shows no blade wear after a handful of weeks.

These diagonal cutters are on steroids! A must have for any gear head. They cut sixteen penny nails like butter. Just what you would expect from knipex definitely the best of the best!!!

Pretty legit hand tool. These definitely have a bit of extra jam compared to regular high leverage cutters and their compact size makes them tool pouch friendly.

A high quality diagonal cutter. The compound leverage makes cutting easy. I think you won't regret buying this lifetime quality tool.

Jaws don't open as much as my previous high leverage knipex snips, but still really impressed as always with this brand!

Don't open too wide, but the power is remarkable. Quantum leap forward in technology, Bravo Knipex!
