KNIPEX Electronics Super Knips

An outstanding tool --super sharp, super easy to use.

I like Knipex tools a lot. They are worth the money. I use this tool to flush-cut tie-wraps. Works great.

Cut 2 super small extremely tiny resistors in a delicate area with these. I bought them for basically one time use. I was one of the first guys using Knipex cutters on big Muskie hooks way before Knipex became popular in the United States. I also have some very good Knipex Snap Ring Pliers for my 97 and 2003 7.3 F350 trucks. No other snap ring pliers would work. I also have Knipex Cobra Pliers. They may be pricy. Buy once cry once.

Does the job nice clean cut and I love the size.

Not the cheapest, but quality is first rate. The action is smooth, spring return works well. They are not for cutting big stuff or steel wire, etc. But they do a great job at what they are designed for. The only thing I don't like is that the shape of the jaws is such that there is a gap at the base of the closure, so putting something like stranded wire or paracord deep into the jaws means the cut is not completely clean, the innermost part of the item cannot be reached by the jaws.

This is a side cutter that is much more solid than the cheaper ones. I did buy a set of six side cutter and this one to basically do a comparison. This one has a much better cut, even all the way in on the tool. The cheaper ones do work fine too but the feel of this one gives you an idea of a higher quality tool. If you are in the business of buying a side cutter, go for this before the cheaper ones.

Like most KNIPEX products, these are great quality German made mini cutters. The grips are comfortable and the cutting edges are sharp. These are great German made mini cutters and I'm sure they will perform well. The issue is that these things are basically $30 after tax. Tell me why these are the same price as their cobras, or their needle nose pliers? These things are way overpriced for what they are. I highly recommend you go with the Tsunoda mini cutters instead. They are half the price and are high quality Japanese made mini cutters. They are made in Japan, they come in several different styles, which range from comfort grip or dipped, and come in standard, thin blade, or bent (90°). The cutters are sharp and precise as well. You cant really go wrong with either brand and they are both phenomenal mini cutters, but I personally think the Tsunoda cutters are the way to go.For those of you unfamiliar with Tsunoda, they are a Japanese tool company who makes a long list of pliers, cutters, crimpers, and other tools that are mostly made in Japan. I personally have around 2 dozen of their products and they all perform very, very well! They are EXTREMELY affordable and about 95% of their products are made in Japan. Give them a try! You won't be disappointed!!

Great cutters… and you know you’re gonna get good quality with Knipex brand. Stout and sharp. Perfect for electronics and small wiring.
