It cuts a ten penny common nail easily with 1 hand, and cuts a 16 penny nail with good pressure from two hands. (For comparison: I squeezed my bathroom scales and found that with both hands I can hold the scale at 150 lbs without bounce.) It cuts all types of insulated wire commonly used in houses easily and cleanly. I am unable to use it to cut cattle panel wire. The jaws open wide enough but it would not cut 1/4 inch round material unless it was exceptionally soft. This is a quality wire/nail cutter. It is a very handy size and comfortable to use. The lock mechanism is great. It serves well for most home/hobby wire cutting needs and will last most non-commercial users decades. If you need a wire cutter buy it. It is a good value. ## Frequently Bought Together - KNIPEX - 7112200 Tools 71 12 200, Comfort Grip High Leverage Cobolt Cutters with Opening Lock and Spring - KNIPEX - KPX7402200 Tools - High Leverage Diagonal Cutters, Multi-Component (7402200) 8 inches - KNIPEX Tools 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper, 8-Inch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/253751753-knipex-71-12-200-cobolt-compact-bolt-cutters-black-atramentized](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/253751753-knipex-71-12-200-cobolt-compact-bolt-cutters-black-atramentized) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
