Product Information

Full details

The Knipex High Leverage Concrete Nippers (99 14) are designed for professional construction workers and concrete contractors who require a reliable tool for twisting and cutting binding wire in one fluid motion. These nippers provide high cutting power with minimal physical exertion, effectively reducing fatigue through an optimized transmission ratio and stroke-damping design; however, their specialized design is primarily optimized for wire binding and rod tying tasks rather than general-purpose heavy-duty cutting.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these to cut bolts?

No, these are designed for binding wire and rod tying. Using them on hardened steel bolts can damage the cutting edges.

What does the stroke damping feature do?

It cushions the shock that occurs at the end of a cut, which reduces the strain on your hand, wrist, and tendons.

Are these suitable for left-handed users?

Yes, the symmetrical design of the nippers allows them to be used comfortably by both right-handed and left-handed professionals.

How do I maintain the tool's finish?

Wipe down with an oily rag after use to remove moisture and concrete residue to prevent rust.

Can these be used for twisting wire effectively?

Yes, the head geometry is specifically optimized to grip and twist heavy-gauge binding wire securely.

Troubleshooting

Jaws feel stiff or difficult to open/close

Clean debris from the pivot area and apply a small amount of machine oil, then work the joint back and forth.

Cutting performance has decreased

Inspect the cutting edges for nicks or metal buildup. If the edges are dull, have them professionally sharpened or replace the tool if the steel is excessively worn.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces hand and wrist fatigue due to effective stroke damping
  • High leverage design makes cutting thick wire effortless
  • Extra-slim form factor is perfect for deep or restricted spaces
  • Durable construction ensures a long service life in harsh environments
  • Efficiently combines twisting and cutting into one task

Cons

  • Not intended for cutting hardened steel or high-tensile bolts
  • Higher price point compared to standard hardware store nippers
  • Specific design may feel specialized for users who only need general-purpose pliers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These nippers require no assembly. To ensure a long service life, keep the tool clean and free of concrete dust and debris, which can accumulate in the pivot joint. Periodically apply a drop of light machine oil to the pivot point to maintain smooth operation. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation. While the steel is hardened and tempered, avoid using the nippers as a lever or hammer, as this may damage the cutting edges or compromise the alignment of the jaws.
