The Knipex 71 31 CoBolt Compact Bolt Cutter is a professional-grade cutting tool designed for heavy-duty applications where space is limited. Measuring just 160mm in length, this compact bolt cutter delivers exceptional cutting power whilst providing excellent accessibility in confined working areas. Engineered with a heavy-duty cutting edge featuring a specialised recess design, the CoBolt slices through the hardest round materials including bolts, nails, and rivets up to Ø 4.8 mm in a single cutting action. The cutting edge is hardened to approximately 64 HRC, ensuring long-lasting performance even when tackling tough materials. The efficient lever action mechanism significantly reduces the physical effort required whilst maintaining powerful cutting force. The slim head design provides superior access in tight spaces, making this tool ideal for electrical installation work, automotive repairs, and mechanical maintenance where standard bolt cutters cannot reach. The lasered cutting edge reduces material slippage during cutting, whilst the blades incorporate a recess that improves leverage when cutting larger cross-sections close to the fulcrum. A gripping surface below the joint enables the tool to grip and pull wires from Ø 1.0 mm, adding versatility for general workshop and site applications.
