KNIPEX Cobolt S Compact Bolt Cutters with Plastic Coating 160 mm, 71 01 160

Great bit of kit well worth having these in your tool bag.

These are the smallest bolt cutters you can get. They are designed for smaller jobs. I decided to try if they could cut solid steel link chain. The picture speaks for itself. It took multiple attempts but I managed to slowly cut through this material clearly designed for the larger pairs. I therefore think that with a bit of effort, they can cut through pad locks. Was going to buy the larger set but realised these will do the job with a bit of elbow grease. Just look at the jaws of mine. Not even dented the slightest. I am well impressed.

Small and compact item absolutely fantastic and all I would expect from German engineering

I want to say wow I’m impressed but it’s no good for anything more than fence or piano tuning at cheethams tiny tiny opening cutting size. This knipex isn’t German for quality or value I’m afraid

Good quality as usual

Best brand by a distance. Worth the money

Wanted a pair of these for my tool bag but weren't top of my to buy list - but happened to see these discounted because of damaged packaging which made not a blind bit of difference to the hardened steel tool inside the cardboard (LOL). Thought they might be too small for my hands (size 7 glove - border of small / medium) but they fit nicely and even one handed I can cut through the type of stuff I might come across doing home DIY. I already own a 180 pair of Knippex high leverage combination pliers that aren't a patch on the cutting capability of these little beauties. As a tool that will last a lifetime, it's worth adding a pair to your toolbox and using them to cut the bits around the house or garden that either might damage regular pliers or if you don't have a strong grip.

Nice compact tool. Its size hides its strength. Recommended.

Taahhüt ettiği işi kesinlikle yapıyor, sınırlarını bilmeniz önemli

Ich habe den KNIPEX CoBolt S Kompakt-Bolzenschneider nun einige Zeit im Einsatz und bin rundum zufrieden. Das Produkt verspricht nicht zu viel: Trotz seiner kompakten Größe liefert der CoBolt eine beeindruckende Schneidleistung. Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist – wie man es von KNIPEX kennt – absolut top. Alles wirkt robust, präzise gefertigt und langlebig. Der Schneider liegt gut in der Hand und ermöglicht kraftsparendes Arbeiten, selbst bei härteren Materialien. Genau dafür habe ich ihn gekauft, und genau das liefert er auch. Besonders positiv finde ich, dass man mit so einem handlichen Werkzeug Ergebnisse erzielt, die man sonst nur von deutlich größeren Bolzenschneidern erwartet. Für Werkstatt oder Montage ist er ideal. Fazit: Hochwertig, zuverlässig und extrem leistungsstark für seine Größe. Klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die Wert auf Qualität legen.

أداة رائعة، قوية ومبنية بشكل ممتاز. إضافة أساسية لحقيبة الطوارئ.

Packs a punch, very small. Fits in your pocket. But very sturdy. I have it as every day carry.

Knipex quality. Cuts nails and screws with ease. Saves damaging your good pliers . Maybe the bigger 200mm would be a better all rounder if you were only going to buy one.
