The KNIPEX CoBolt® S is a powerful cutting tool in the smallest size yet at 6 1/4 in. Its cutting edges are induction hardened for longer tool life and for more durable cutting. They are the strongest cutters of their length due to their lever-action design. It cuts nails, small bolts, and rivets up to 11/64 in. diameter. It has a cutting capacity of up to 13/64 in. for soft wire, 11/64 in. for medium, 1/8 in. for hard, and up to 1/8 in. for piano wire. It features a gripping surface below the joint for gripping and pulling wires with a diameter from 3/64 in. The lasered cutting edge prevents slipping of material being cut. Its small, slim head allows for better access to confined areas. Forged from chrome vanadium electric steel, these cutters are built to last. It's ideal for automotive or construction applications, cutting cotter pins and nails, repeated use in factory assembly lines and everyday tasks such as cutting floral wire or fish hooks.
