Wow! This item is seriously well made. It says “Made in Germany” on the item, and it shows; As soon as I placed it in my hand I knew I was holding a quality 10 inch tool. Then, of course, came the joy of using it - it easily sliced through tough barbed wire, just like butter, making the process clearing a site of old barbed wire effortless. I bought the 10 inch model as I read somewhere it gives more leverage than the 8 inch. Obviously the 8 inch is more compact, but this 10 inch fits well and is easy to operate in one hand. I’m absolutely ‘blown away’ by this brand which, to be honest, i hadn’t even heard of before. A joy to use, and a quality well engineered tool. Hence why the cost becomes a non-issue as it will last me a lifetime. I now intend buying more from the Knipex product range, as presents for my son and other family members.

Excellent quality cutter which work well and are very compact. They have been used on old wire netting and small gauge rebar which they took in their stride.

Fast delivery. Secure packed and lovely presented in German. With Google translation I got it :) The best tool I ever had. As a woman I would say it is the little magic tool :) It did the job in minutes which I struggled to do with cheap tool. It is angled which is very useful. It cut bolts easier then I do my finger nails and without using any of power. Sturdy tool which will last lifetime. Do not think of price as it is worth of any penny. I using it a lot now instead of my old pliers. Very pleased and I recommend this little helper to any household.

I could cut a 5mm screw almost like butter. A 5mm steel bolt was cuttable with MUCH effort. So it really depends on your material! Cuts most cables pretty easily, but the jaw opening is pretty small. Won't go much over 6mm. Maybe a bit more if the cable is soft. It won't cut thin string like paracord unless you spend about a minute on each cut. Overall it's super useful for cutting wire/cable and cutting the excess off screws and nails. Great addition to my toolbox. Nice and lightweight, so easy to carry with you when needed.

Brilliant small boot cutters

Bought these small bolt cutters cut through some hard upholstery wire, 3.5mm thick, where attempts with my hacksaw had failed. I’m a woman with poor hand/grip strength and it took two hands to squeeze enough to cut through the wire. That said, it did cut first time as long as I positioned the wire right at the bottom of the V of the cutting blades. The bottom of the V opens up to approx 4mm expanding to 11mm at the top of the V. Would I recommend them? Yes for small jobs around the home they are lightweight, small in size approx 21cm, of seemingly robust build, comfortable to grip, & most importantly they cut first time. They are costly though and for larger jobs or those requiring a lot of repetitive cutting, I would probably buy larger, more substantial cutters.

It is expensive, but I needed something reliable to cut about 20 M5 screws to fix my aluminium window handles. It was not flawless, you need some strength, but it was worth it and cheaper than paying a window repair man.

I like these mini bolt croppers, lots. They are truly pocket sized, they are comfortable in the hand and boy, do they pack a punch. I haven't tried cutting a 12.9 M6 bolt yet, but they are just fine cutting wire, cable and a piece of 15mmx3mm copper strip. High tensile fence wire is no problem. I wouldn't complain if they opened a little wider, but they wouldn't be a one handed operation then. They are fine how they are. Thank you Knipex.
