KNIPEX - 62 02 200 Tools - High Leverage Bolt End Cutting Nippers, Multi-Component (6102200)

Works well. I am happy with purchase.

These pliers do the work I bought them for. I pull nails and staples with them. Sometimes I use them for cutting nails and staples. The crown head makes it easy to pull nails with little effort. The grip makes them easy to hold onto and use with one hand.

Using to cut through roofing nails and 10d -16d nails. Like butter.

I love these nippers, so much better than any other pair Ive owned. I primarily use these to cut copper rivets down to size for leatherworking. The low pivot point give these have amazing leverage. Very good design and a comfortable handle too!

Whoever hung the light fixture in my house was a monster. They used toggle bolts with heads larger than the keyholes. One was put in at a very steep angle. Both were mostly stripped. I was unable to back the fasteners out more than about an inch with a slotted screwdriver. I would happily have ripped the bolts out and just repaired the drywall, but I couldnt get a grip on them or the fixture to do that. I am short and not very strong or comfortable working above my head, especially with a powered saw. Normal bolt cutters are at the wrong angle. So after reading some reviews of these to make sure that they could handle a couple of 1/4 or smaller threaded fasteners, I ordered them. Id rather spend $60 on these than risk getting a head wound or hurting my hands or my eyes. Took less than 5 minutes to get the fixture down, most of which was me moving from one step stool to the other while a friend held the center. Knipex tools are expensive, but they are well made, well balanced, and a pleasure to use. UPDATE Oct 2020: I didnt have any flush cutters or any other cutters, and I was desperate. Because these cutters are not extremely sharp, they are quite handy for gripping and gently rolling 3-4 inch brads out of drywall so you dont get all scratched up. Handy to know if you have to remove trim to get to the edges of your sewage soaked carpet to pull it out it the middle of the night. As you do.

Works. A longer handles might be helpful to provide even more leverage. I have to use a large crescent prayer to help me squeeze the handles of the nipper to snip off a #8 SS bolt head.

but feel good in hand and bought cut nails in attic came through when rofers came and works well on that- tried on some screws about same thickness of nails no good- you think they make bolt cutters like this be a great product

I chose these cutters for leather working because they have a compound action. This makes cutting brass rivets more manageable than with traditional cutters, the handles are offset to the side of the cutters and that also helps gaining access to cutting in some hard to reach areas .

I bought this specifically to cut the nail off that came through my subfloor. We got these in a week before our plumbers were scheduled to install our radiant heat... Jokes on us, these didnt even cut the first nail and chipped/deformed. We ended up purchasing an extra grinder and taking them off that way. This was a waste of our time.

Not a great product for $50
