About Product Overview

Knipex built this 10" diagonal cutter for anyone working around live circuits, not just bare wire. The insulated handles put a layer of protection between your hand and whatever voltage might be lurking, which matters when you're cutting inside a panel or behind a receptacle box rather than on a workbench.

At 10 inches, it gives you more leverage than a compact snip, so you can cut through heavier gauge wire without your hand giving out first. It's a straightforward tool with one job: clean diagonal cuts, done safely, on electrical wire and similar material. Knipex makes these in Germany, and the build reflects the kind of tool meant to live in a tool bag for years rather than get replaced every season. Good fit for electricians, panel techs, and anyone doing regular wiring work who needs a cutter they can trust near live circuits.

Go ahead. Check.

You're going to open the other tab. Everybody does. We'd rather say so than pretend otherwise — so open it. We'll wait.

When you're over there, check four things before you click buy.

01

Who's actually selling it

The brand name is on the listing. A different company is in the seller field. Those aren't the same thing, and the second one is who you're buying from.

02

Whether the warranty survives

Most manufacturers only honor a warranty when the unit came through an authorized dealer. We're authorized for Knipex. A third-party marketplace seller usually isn't.

03

Where the box came from

Gray-market stock, returns repackaged as new, and outright fakes move through marketplaces constantly. It all looks identical in the photo. It stops looking identical when it fails.

04

Who you call when it breaks

Ours is a phone number with a person behind it who has held this product. M–F, 6 AM – 5 PM Pacific. (866) 469-8556

We're not always the cheapest.

Sometimes you'll find it for less. Sometimes you'll find it for more. On a lot of brands the number is identical everywhere it's sold legitimately — the manufacturer sets a minimum advertised price and every authorized dealer holds it. When a price sits well under that, it's worth asking why before it's worth celebrating.

Shop Local · Support Independent

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.
