KNIPEX VDE High Leverage Diagonal Cutter 180mm 74 06 180

Electrical cutting work often needs two things at once: dependable cutting force and the reassurance of insulated grips when working near live systems. The KNIPEX 74 06 180 VDE High Leverage Diagonal Cutter is built for exactly that balance, giving electricians and installers a strong, compact cutter for demanding wire work with the added confidence of VDE-tested insulation up to 1000 volts.

This 180 mm model is intended for tougher, continuous use where a standard insulated cutter may feel less capable on harder material. The leverage design helps reduce effort, while the precision cutting edges are additionally induction hardened for long-term performance on all wire types, including piano wire. The insulated multi-component grips support safer electrical use, and the overall form remains compact enough for regular carry and practical work in installation, control, and service environments.

With medium hard wire capacity up to 3.8 mm, hard wire capacity up to 2.7 mm, and piano wire capacity up to 2.2 mm, the 74 06 180 is a strong professional cutter for electrical users who want safety, cutting power, and daily reliability in one tool. It is especially useful where electrical work meets tougher cable or wire tasks and one lighter-duty cutter is no longer enough.
