Knipex 73 06 160 X-Cut VDE Compact Diagonal Cutter 160mm
Key Features
- High lever transmission design delivers around 40% less cutting force compared to standard diagonal cutters of the same length for reduced user fatigue.
- Precision induction hardened cutting edges at approximately 62HRC ensure clean and accurate cuts through copper wire, hard wire and piano wire.
- VDE tested insulated multi component grips allow safe use on live electrical installations up to 1000V.
- Robust box joint construction with doubly supported joint axis provides maximum stability with a lightweight 175g design.
- Compact 160mm length with large opening width makes it ideal for fine wire, thick cable and confined working areas.

The Knipex 73 06 160 X Cut VDE Compact Diagonal Cutter from ITS is a high performance compact cutter designed for electricians and tradesmen who need maximum cutting power with minimal effort in a small, lightweight tool.
Built around Knipex’s high lever transmission design, this diagonal cutter delivers around 40% less force required compared to standard diagonal cutters of the same length, making repetitive cutting tasks easier and less fatiguing throughout the working day.
Precision induction hardened cutting edges with an approximate hardness of 62HRC allow clean, controlled cuts through a wide range of materials including fine copper wires, multi core cables, spring steel and piano wire up to 2.2mm in diameter.
The geometry of the cutting edges and the optimised transmission ratio ensure accurate cuts even on thin strands while still offering the strength needed to handle thicker copper cables up to 12.0mm diameter.
The robust box joint design with a doubly supported joint axis provides exceptional stability and durability while keeping overall weight down to just 175g, making this cutter ideal for tool bags, pouches and all day carry.
Chrome plated pliers and head surfaces offer effective corrosion resistance, especially useful when tools are stored in service vehicles or used in environments subject to temperature changes and condensation.
VDE tested insulated multi component grips provide safe working on live electrical parts up to 1000V, while the compact 160mm length and large opening width make this cutter suitable for assembly work, maintenance and production tasks where access and control are critical.
