Concreters nippers cut and twist tying wire on reinforcement, which is a different action from a general cutter. The jaws bite through the wire and then the whole tool is rolled to twist the tie, so the handle length is doing two jobs at once. That double action is also why a general cutting plier makes hard work of tying wire.
Jaw length gives leverage for the cut and reach for the twist, running 220mm, 225mm, 250mm, 280mm and 300mm here. A longer tool cuts heavier wire with less effort but is harder to work in a congested cage. Handle length is also what decides whether the tool can be used one-handed at height.
High leverage designs multiply the force applied at the handles rather than needing a longer handle, which is what allows a heavier wire to be cut in the same working space. That distinction matters more than length on a busy fixing job. Knipex hold high leverage bodies at 250mm and 300mm with a steel fixers nipper at 220mm.
End cutting nippers cut square to the work rather than at an angle, at 115mm through to 280mm, which is what takes a projecting tie flush. Reinforced concrete cutters handle bar rather than wire.

Heavy duty end cutting nippers at 280mm cover the largest ties in the range.
