Knipex Mini Bolts Cutters model# 71 01 200 KNIPEX CoBolt®

Just got a pair of Knipex mini bolts cutters model# 71 01 200 KNIPEX CoBolt^® cutters via Sears. They were on sale and with my shop your ways points I ended up getting them for 24 dollars delivered. At this price it’s not going to cost me an arm and a leg to add to my growing Knipex collection. Of course they come from great German engineering and machining, and with a Lifetime Guarantee. 

Got to test it out and it's basically an small version of a larger bolt cutter that you would use to cut a large chain or lock. This little guy cuts large and small diameter nails. drywall and deck screws, piano wire, which I have not cut myself but hear is a real pain to cut. I've got to say I love this thing, its bad ass.





 I can see using it form time to time, I'm really glad I got it. I recommend everyone putting one in your tool box, just for the ability to cut nails and screws.
