Stříhací kleště CoBolt S Knipex 71 01 160

The Knipex CoBolt S Cutting Pliers Knipex 71 01 160 are compact high-leverage cutting pliers designed for precise and efficient cutting of wires and small components. Constructed from forged steel with a precision-ground cutting edge, they deliver consistent cutting performance and long service life. The ergonomic handles provide a secure and comfortable grip, while the compact head design allows access in confined spaces. These pliers offer a cutting capacity of up to 4.0 mm for soft and medium-hard wires, making them suitable for a wide range of maintenance, electrical and assembly tasks.

Advantages

The compact geometry and high leverage mechanism reduce hand effort during cutting, increasing efficiency and reducing fatigue. Hardened and precisely ground cutting edges ensure clean cuts and high wear resistance. Ergonomically shaped handles improve handling and control during extended use. The robust forged-steel construction and corrosion-resistant finish provide durability under regular workshop and field conditions.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft and medium-hard copper and aluminium wires
• Electrical installation and maintenance tasks
• General repairs and light assembly work
• Working in confined or hard-to-reach areas

Key specifications

• Type: high-leverage cutting pliers with compact head
• Cutting capacity: up to 4.0 mm for soft and medium-hard wire
• Material: forged tool steel with hardened cutting edges
• Handle: ergonomic insulated handle grips for comfortable use
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment
• Overall length: compact design for access in tight spaces

How to use

Place the wire or component to be cut as close as possible to the cutting edge to achieve a clean cut. Position the pliers so the cutting edges meet squarely around the material, then squeeze the handles firmly and steadily until the material is severed. For repeated cuts, open the handles fully between operations to avoid stress concentration on the pivot. Inspect cutting edges regularly and avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the specified cutting capacity to prevent damage.

Recommendations

Use the pliers only within the specified cutting capacity and avoid applying excessive torque or prying motions. Keep the cutting edges clean and lightly lubricated at the pivot to maintain smooth operation. Store the tool in a dry place to preserve the corrosion-resistant finish and periodically check for wear; replace the pliers if cutting performance deteriorates significantly.
