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

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.

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

Can’t believe they are as good as they are for the size. They cut anything up to about 3.5mm including hardened screws!! Anything bigger than that I’d use my angle grinder so the fact they are well priced, comfortable, strong asf and haven’t folded or chipped, well impressed. No wonder they are an Instagram favourite. Recommend highly

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

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

Best brand by a distance. Worth the money

As usual from Knipex, an amazing product. They could be twice the price and still worth the money. This doesn't defy physics so you won't be cutting locks on the daily, but I love having this in my EDC tool kit. Great for TIG welding filler rods or metal packing bands.

Good quality as usual

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.

The usual great Knipex quality
