The KNIPEX Tools 8" High Leverage Angled Flush Cutter is designed for easy cutting of plastic components and soft metals. The joint design helps this tool require less effort for cutting, because the cutting edge is closer to the rivet. The bevel-free precision cutting edge provides a flush cut. Other features include a 20-degree angled head that provides more space for hands, gripping surface below the joint for gripping and pulling, precision cutting edges and an opening spring and lock integrated into the handle. This cutter is made from German chrome vanadium electric steel, forged and oil hardened.
