I've got a pair of an earlier version of these. Plain red handles. Missing the rotary locking mechanism. They're small and very handy. Diagonal cutters work fine on zip ties. Felco C7 or Knipex wire rope cutters both work way better on wire rope. The $13 Felco clones also work and are much less painful to lose.
Another good point! I know for me, cutting wire rope isn’t super common for me to do, just wanted to show the versatility! For sure if you’re doing wire rope all the time, wire rope cutters are definitely the way to go!
As for crimping ferrules and sleeves, on wire rope, buy a real swager, like an Arm Sangyo. People are risking their lives with those uncalibrated crimps.
I love it when Amazon screws up. Nice score buddy. You should have bought a bunch !....😁
Btw.....once a week is fairly often...lol
And it... will kill (in forged in fire voice). Love Knipex 👍👍👍👍👍
Would be good for cutting hooks. Nice
They’re really pretty nifty
@@dossreviews definitely look like it!

It cuts ziptie? Amazing! Why don't you try it on bolt since it's called a boltcutter.
I just got that in the mail and it don’t cut 5/16 hex head sheet metal screws!!

Good point! My crimps prevent people from stealing stuff. Not a life and limb thing.
If made by Knipex, you will pay higher prices, but it is worth every cent.
