Knipex CoBolt® Compact Bolt Cutter black atramentized, with slim multi-component grips 200 mm 71 02 200

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.

Brilliant small boot cutters

Nice compact tool. Its size hides its strength. Recommended.

So far so goodCut 4mm screws like there nothing5mm screws easily6mm no problem

They’re Knipex, need I say more, so strong & sharp, I had my last pair over 10 yrs & they were used everyday

Excellent cutters, I used them to cut corrugated roof roofing nails from below the roof as I had easy access and did not want to damage the corduline roofing by pulling the nails from above.I cut around 350 nails.The only point I would make is that the handles could be 50mm longer, giving a more comfortable grip at awkward angles and a bit more power to cut at those angles. I did have to use the pliers two handed for about 50% of the time due to the odd angles and working above my head.Otherwise I would have given them 5 stars.Thanks, Jim Stevenson

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.

These things are incredible, superbly engineered and they do more than you hope they will
