Origin

The driving concept behind this product was to create a cutter with a joint that had two pivots. This increases the transmission of force and makes reapplying the tool easy and efficient. The ideal tool for repetitive cutting, each cutting repetition reduces the effort required to achieve the ultimate cut. Reapplying with the Knipex TwinForce allows the user to cut materials that cannot be cut with comparable diagonal cutters of the same length.
