Those are my current favourite, I used to carry the 74 91's in my toolbox before as I needed something to cut 3 mm solid steel wire (fibre optic cable reinforcement wires), but the 71 series have replaced them completely. They are also very handy for shortening bolts if you can't get at them with an angle grinder.

I like the precision in cutting really small wires and the possibility to handel also really tough materials with these tools. Of course also the best tool has limits and will fail at some point (like you can see in the video). I worked a lot with KNIPEX-tools and they never let me down. Luckily I am from Germany, so the Products are much cheaper here 😊

I worked in the steel industry and as a general contractor and maintenance for all my adult life and knipex side cutters have always been hands down my favorite cutters apart from Klein.

It fascinates me how you Americans prepare for Armageddon when you appear to enjoy the worlds most secure lifestyle. Keep making the vlogs Cody, really appreciate all of the content and hard work that goes into them. Blessings on you and your family.

"What do we learn ...." LOL, Love that kind of humor ;-)

anyway in all seriousness, it looks like the design of the side cutters has a single stress point which causes failures in almost the same location. The difference is the material and threatment. So whats the steel in the chinese made cutters vs the german? are you actually comparing like for like?

would be nice to see the breaking in slow motion so that we determine if the pressing force broke the pliers or ACTUALLY the tossing to concrete!

The audio from 7:00 onwards for a minute plus gives off some strange retro 80s vibes. Those of that era would know.

Just a line, Cody, to let you know I used Blue Loctite today. I have a very good telescoping ARS tree pruner. But I do not need the cutting head to articulate side to side. So I put Blue on the the adjusting screw. I just thought you would like to know, since I have never used Loctite before.

I love the quick turn of the follow-up videos. Wranglestar really DOES love us.

The cutting side takes way more force due to the mechanical advantage of the longer handles also the drastic change in shape from the cutting edge creates a stress concentration at that point

I also have a few Knipex tools, but the VDE variant that are suitable for working with high voltages. The VDE side cutter is basically the same as yours, but with thicker, more insulated handles. Worth the money; they're way more ergonomic than those thin red handles.

I love my Knipex cutters. I had an issue with my first set. I contacted Knipex and they replaced them. No questions asked.

We’ve learnt something! I no longer have a pair of side cutters 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have Knipex cable cutters for 20 years...amazing tools. Cool video!

Last Spring, first mow of the year, I managed to run the lawn tractor over a long piece of vinyl coated clothesline cable that had somehow gotten dragged out to the edge of the field. Before I could react, it wrapped around the shaft tighter than I could near believe. I put the tractor up on blocks so I could get at it, and could make no progress with any tool I had. Not long needle-nose vise grips, nothing. Went into town and bought what seemed like a big chunk of cash on a pair of Knipex cutters. Could not believe how fast they were able to cut it up into short pieces that would then fall away. Took longer to get the nicks out of the mower blade. GREAT QUALITY products!

I've had the handle on my 22" Cobra's deflecting over 2 inches when I used a 4 foot pipe over the handle to get leverage on some old hydraulic fittings, lifting with everything I had. Once the fitting finally came loose, the handle bounced right back. They are, hands down, the best pliers in the world. Forged in the depths of Mordor

About 8 years ago I worked for a very poorly run company that thought they were saving money by buying cheap tools. They gave me some wire cutters cast from the finest Chinesium... you know where this is going. All I had to do was cut a piece of .036" wire, so I didn't really need anything fancy. When I used them, the strangest thing happened. I put the wire in the cutters and squeezed together. Nothing. I squeezed harder. Nothing. So I really squeezed. Clink! The handles broke. I almost broke a finger. And the wire.... wasn't even scratched. The blades of the wire cutter were so soft that they bent around the wire I was trying to cut. The handles seemed to be powdered metal sintered into a tool shape. That was the very first time I attempted to cut a wire with them.

I'm looking into grabbing a small tool to add to my wildland gear so I can quickly cut through fencing. Would you recommend this Knipex cutter or would you recommend Knipex's mini 8" bolt cutters.

The word “dikes” comes from diagonal cutters. Side cutters is a bit more vague as it is used for a number of tools with the ability to cut wires. In the utility trades, side cutters can refer to lineman’s pliers, diagonal cutters, or even needle nose pliers with cutters. In my experience as a retired lineman, we used the term side cutters for lineman’s pliers.
