 The Best Money Can Buy September 27, 2009

Having Previously Owned Knipex Tools, I Expected These To Perform As Well As My Adjustable Pliers, But Was Hesitant Because Of The Price $40+. Once I Received Them I Knew It Was Money Well Spent Ive Easily Cut Grade 5 1/4-20 Bolts With Ease Along With 1/4" Wire Cable, They Cut Copper Wire Like A Knife Thru Hot Butter & The Blade Remains Sharp
Every Knipex a five star... February 22, 2009

Knipex does make a "CoBolt" mini bolt cutters model with a spring-loaded handle, and it is the cat's meow. It's number 71 11 200 (plastic-coated handles, solid red in color) which has recently been replaced by the 71 12 200 (red and blue dual-component plastic handle covers, and is similar to the model reviewed above). Both have been manufactured over the past couple of years, and are both available at various web sites. You can find the older model (71 11 200) by searching for KNI7111200 here on Amazon.com (but it's way over-priced as of this writing), but I haven't been able to find the newer model on Amazon. I do prefer the feel of the dual-component handles to the cutter handles dipped in plastic so, if you're looking for that one, try Googling or Froogling it. As of this posting, chadstoolboxdotcom (see advertisement with a hyperlink just above this posting as of this date) and tooldiscounterdotcom have the best prices (please forgive the "dot" in lieu of the "." but I'm not sure if Amazon has a filter allowing the names of other web sites or not).
As for the quality of the pliers, no one, including Wiha, Klein, Snap-On or whomever, makes a pliers as high in quality as Knipex. These mini bolt cutters get after everything, and they are hell on piano wire when we're using shotcrete when just about every other cutter fails. Knipex's combination pliers (lineman's pliers) are great and their Cobra and Alligator water pump pliers (slip joint) are unbelievably nice. You'll pay a lot for the quality but as long as they don't walk away, they're worth every penny and will be performing just as well after ten years as they did the day you bought them. Ever since I discovered them about 10 years ago, they are just about the only pliers I buy. Arguably, the highest quality general hand tool made and Knipex does not make a pair of pliers that deserve anything less than five stars. And all this love for Knipex is coming from a guy who loves his various old Klein pliers and Wiha insulated pliers...
 Knipex Mini-Bolt Cutter Makes the Grade February 13, 2008

The Knipex 8-Inch Lever Action Mini-Bolt Cutter has perfomed beautifully. The first look at the cutter had everyone wondering what this little thing could do. Skepticism abounded. Working with wire all day, I needed somehing that would hold up and so I took a chance. These things cut like a knife through butter. They work fantastic and now all my co-workers are planning on getting themselves a pair as well. The only improvement I could see is a spring to return the cutters to an open position. But the action works smooth and easy and are a joy to work with.
