The Knipex 72 62 200 Flush Cutter is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to make clean, flush cuts on soft metal, thicker profiles, and plastic components. Its key benefit is an energy-saving, high-leverage mechanism that minimizes effort, even on tough materials. A potential caveat is that while effective on soft materials, it is not intended for hardened steel wire. This tool features a 20° angled head for better access, integrated opening spring and locking device, and induction-hardened cutting edges for durability.

The Knipex 72 62 200 is rated for cutting soft wire with a maximum diameter of Ø 6.0 mm.
No, these cutters are designed for soft materials like soft metal, thicker profiles, and plastic components. They are not suitable for hardened steel wire.
The high-leverage mechanism uses an advanced joint design to amplify the force applied to the handles, making it significantly easier to cut through materials with less effort.
The 20° angled head provides better access for flush cutting in confined spaces and creates more room for your hands while working.
Clean the cutting edges after use, lubricate the joint periodically with light machine oil, and store them in a dry environment. Avoid exceeding the cutting capacity.
The product information does not specify insulated handles. These are general-purpose hand cable cutters and should not be used on live electrical circuits.
The cutters are made from Chrome Vanadium electric steel, forged, and multi-stage oil-hardened.
Ensure the joint is clean and lubricated. Remove any debris. If stiffness persists, check for damage to the joint mechanism.
Verify that the material being cut is within the specified capacity (soft wire up to Ø 6.0 mm, soft profiles, plastic). Ensure the cutting edges are sharp and free from nicks. Clean the cutting edges thoroughly.
Check the locking mechanism for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the handles are fully closed before attempting to lock. A small amount of lubricant on the mechanism might help.
The integrated opening spring may require cleaning and lubrication. Ensure the spring mechanism itself is not damaged or obstructed.
Setup: The Knipex 72 62 200 is a hand tool and requires no setup beyond ensuring it is clean and the joint moves freely. The integrated opening spring will assist in presenting the tool in an ready state. The locking device can be engaged when not in use.
Compatibility: This tool is designed for cutting soft wire (up to Ø 6.0 mm), thicker soft profiles, and plastic components. It is compatible with materials such as copper wire, aluminum wire, and various plastics. It is *not* compatible with hardened steel wire or other very hard materials.
