Knipex Quality - Made in Germany

CoBolt Compact Bolt Cutter.


Cuts up to 1/4-inch diameter.

Knipex 71 12 200 Cobalt Compact Bolt Cutter, 8-inch

At a Glance:

  • Exceptional cutting performance with minimal effort thanks to innovative lever action design
  • Easy cutting of any wire up to 1/4-inch
  • Precision, induction hardened cutting edges
  • Cutting edge hardness of 64 HRC (approximate)

Knipex 71 12 200, 8-inch Cobalt Compact Bolt Cutter

An all-around tool for the toughest demands, this Knipex high-leverage CoBolt cutter features a lever action design that applies 20 times more hand force for superior cutting power with less effort. This mini bolt cutter can cut through more than you ever thought possible — up to 1/4-inch diameter with ease. It's ideal for automotive or construction applications, cutting cotter pins and nails, repeated use in factory assembly lines, cutting wire fencing in agricultural settings, or even everyday tasks such as cutting floral wire or fish hooks.

Forged from chrome vanadium electric steel, it's built to last. This lightweight cutter features precision-matched cutting edges for cutting soft or hard steel. The cutting edge recess near the joint keeps thicker wires in a better cutting position (optimum lever ratio), so there is no need to re-position the tool to achieve the desired cut. It's completed with multi-component comfort handle grips for a wider grip. It also features gripping jaws below the joint for gripping and pulling nails and wires.


Gripping jaws below the joint for gripping and pulling nails and wires.

Specifications:
  • Cutting capacity: Up to 1/4-inch for soft wire; 13/64-inch medium hard wire; 5/32-inch hardwire; 9/64-inch piano wire
  • Length: 8 inches
  • Weight: 13.2 ounces
  • Handles: Comfort Grip

Quality in Every Detail

Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look.

The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.

The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied users are worth this effort.

Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.

O Knipex Cobolt já é uma referência mundial quando se fala de alicate para cortes de material rígido. Extremamente eficiente e robusto, tem ótima ergonomia e sua capacidade de corte para seu tamanho (200mm) é impressionante. Alicate fabricado na Alemanha, muito bem acabado, e útil. Uma excelente solução para quem ainda insiste em utilizar os alicates universais ou Lineman para cortar pregos, parafusos ou arames. Recomendo plenamente!
