A concreters' nipper engineered to cut down hand strain and speed up rebar tying on site. Tradespeople and DIYers gain firmer leverage and an extra-slim head for working inside congested reinforcement cages, the KNIPEX Concreters' Nipper. Does the high-leverage action and twist-and-cut method make tying faster across a full shift?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Wire is twisted and cut in a single pass, producing neat ties with minimal clean-up
- • Best for: Masons, concreters and tradespeople tying reinforcing steel in confined spaces
- • Not ideal for: Users who require powered or fully automatic tying systems
High-leverage transmission reduces the effort required compared with conventional concreters' nippers of the same size. Extra-slim head allows access to deep-mounted steel rods while completing twist-and-cut ties in one stroke.
Less hand strain - thanks to a high-leverage transmission
A high-leverage joint multiplies operator force so around 25% less effort is required compared with conventional concreters' nippers of the same size. The mechanism keeps mechanical advantage even when thicker binding wire is used.
Reduced fatigue when tying many bars during a shift, particularly useful for jobs requiring repeated twists and cuts.
Reach confined spaces - with an extra-slim form
Slim head profile and narrow jaw geometry are designed specifically for tying deep-mounted steel rods where bulkier tools cannot reach. The compact shape allows the tool to slip between close-set reinforcement.
Tying within congested reinforcement cages becomes quicker and less awkward, reducing the need to reposition bars to gain access.
Quicker ties and tidier results - with single-pass twist-and-cut action
An integrated twist-and-cut action both twists binding wire and severs the tail in one stroke, removing the separate cutting step common with conventional pliers.
Faster cycle times on repetitive tying tasks and cleaner ties that cut down on rework and snagging.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the tool twist and cut wire in one motion?
A: Yes, the design twists binding wire and cuts it in a single pass, eliminating a separate cutting step.
Q: Is it suitable for tying deep-mounted steel rods?
A: Yes, the extra-slim form is specifically for tying deep-mounted steel rods and accessing confined reinforcement.
Q: Does it reduce the effort needed compared with standard nippers?
A: Yes, the high-leverage transmission requires around 25% less effort than conventional concreters' nippers of the same size, helping to minimise strain even with thicker binding wire.
🏆 Our Verdict
Ideal for masons, concreters and tradespeople who tie reinforcing steel regularly. High-leverage transmission combined with an extra-slim head speeds tying and reduces hand fatigue while producing tidy ties. While more costly than basic alternatives, the durable finish and reliable performance suggest strong long-term value.
