Bolt cutter pliers Knipex CoBolt XL

The Knipex CoBolt XL bolt cutter pliers are compact cutting pliers designed to cut pipes and tubes up to 6 mm in diameter. Constructed from durable metal, these pliers have an overall length of 250 mm and a weight of 465 g, offering a balance of cutting power and manageable size. The tool features an ergonomic handle shape to support comfortable handling during repetitive tasks and is intended for use in both professional and home workshop environments.

Advantages

The Knipex CoBolt XL delivers precise, clean cuts on small-diameter pipe and tube materials thanks to hardened cutting edges and a lever geometry optimized for efficient force transmission. Its compact 250 mm length allows work in confined or crowded spaces where larger cutters would be impractical. The robust metal construction ensures long service life under normal usage conditions, while the ergonomic grip reduces hand fatigue during extended use.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper, brass and thin-walled steel tubes up to 6 mm diameter
• Electrical and plumbing preparation where short, accurate cuts are required
• Maintenance, repair and DIY projects in tight spaces
• Workshops and mobile tool kits for tradespeople and technicians

Key specifications

• Cutting capacity: up to 6 mm diameter (pipes and tubes)
• Overall length: 250 mm
• Weight: 465 g
• Material: durable hardened metal cutting edges and metal body
• Handle: ergonomic design for improved grip and reduced fatigue

How to use

Place the pipe or tube to be cut between the cutting edges near the jaw pivot, align the cutting line and apply steady force on the handles until the material is severed. For the cleanest result, support the workpiece close to the cutting point and keep the cutting edges perpendicular to the tube. Avoid twisting the tool during the cut to maintain edge alignment and prolong blade life.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cutting edges before use and remove any dirt or burrs from the tube to avoid premature wear. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when cutting metal tubes. Store the pliers in a dry place and periodically check for wear or damage; replace the tool if cutting performance degrades significantly.
