Hand cable cutter Knipex High Leverage Flush Cutter 72 62 200

The Knipex High Leverage Flush Cutter 72 62 200 is a 200 mm hand cable cutter designed for precise trimming and cutting of soft metals and plastic materials. Constructed from durable steel with a high-leverage mechanism, this tool balances cutting power and control while remaining compact and easy to handle. The ergonomic blue and red handles provide grip comfort during repetitive tasks, and the flush cutting jaws allow close, clean cuts with minimal deformation.

Advantages

The high-leverage design reduces the manual effort required to cut through softer wires and plastic components, improving efficiency for repeated operations. Hardened cutting edges maintain sharpness and resist wear during normal use, delivering consistent, accurate cuts. The compact 200 mm length and balanced weight make the tool maneuverable in confined spaces while the ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue. Flush cutting capability minimizes protruding ends for neat finishes.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft copper and aluminum wires
• Trimming insulation and plastic cable ties
• Electronics assembly and repair tasks requiring precise flush cuts
• DIY electrical installations and hobbyist wiring

Key specifications

• Overall length: 200 mm
• Weight: 375 g
• Material: hardened steel cutting jaws with steel body
• Handle style: ergonomic two-tone handles for grip comfort
• Cut type: flush cutting jaws for close cuts with minimal deformation

How to use

Position the cutting jaws around the wire or plastic part to be cut, keeping the material as close to the joint as practical for a flush finish. Squeeze the handles evenly and steadily until the material is severed. For multiple cuts, allow short pauses to avoid overheating the tool and to maintain grip control. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses when cutting springy or tensioned materials.

Usage recommendations

Use this cutter on soft metals and plastics only; avoid cutting hardened steel, piano wire, or materials beyond the tool's intended hardness to prevent damage to the cutting edges. Keep the tool clean and periodically check for wear; a light film of oil on the joint will help maintain smooth operation. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
