The Knipex Black Atramentized High Leverage Concreter's Nippers offer substantially higher cutting performance, as well as a damping of the cutting stroke after cutting the binding wire, two valuable ergonomic advantages for the user. They can twist and cut wire in one operation, making them fast, reliable and economical. Made from special tool steel that has been oil-hardened and tempered with an extra slim form, making them ideal for tying submerged positioned steel rods. They provide a particularly high cutting capacity with minimum effort due to their optimum transmission ratio. High damping of the cutting stroke after cutting the binding wire reduces strain on tendons and muscles.
