Sidavbitare Knipex 78 13 125

The Knipex 78 13 125 diagonal pliers are precision cutting tools designed for ultra-fine work in electronics and fine mechanics. Made in INOX (stainless steel) or special tool steel, they feature ground, very sharp cutting edges without bevel for flush cutting. The precision-shaped tips allow cutting wires resting on a board from 0.2 mm diameter. A stainless steel rivet joint and induction-hardened cutting edges ensure durability, while an opening spring and opening limiter deliver smooth movement and controlled operation. The tool includes a lead catcher to prevent uncontrolled loss of cut wire ends.

Advantages

Ground, razor-sharp cutting edges without bevel provide clean, flush cuts. Precision-shaped tips enable access to tight spaces and cut wires from 0.2 mm diameter on circuit boards. Induction-hardened edges and a stainless steel rivet joint increase tool life. Extremely smooth movement with an opening spring and opening limiter reduces operator fatigue. The lead catcher prevents loose wire ends after cutting. Available in INOX (stainless steel) or special tool steel.

Suitable for

• Precision cutting in electronics assembly and repair
• Fine mechanical work requiring flush cuts
• Cutting component leads on printed circuit boards
• Work in confined or delicate assemblies

How to use

Grip the Knipex 78 13 125 by the handles and position the precision-shaped tips around the wire to be cut, ensuring the wire rests on the board if performing board-level cuts. Squeeze the handles firmly and steadily until the cutting edges close, producing a flush cut. Release to allow the opening spring to return the pliers to the open position. Use the opening limiter when working in restricted spaces to prevent overextension of the handles. The lead catcher retains cut wire ends for safer and cleaner work.

Recommendations

Use these diagonal pliers only for cutting soft and hard wires within the specified diameter. Avoid cutting hardened steel, nails, or live electrical conductors. Regularly check the cutting edges for wear and keep the joint clean and lightly lubricated to maintain smooth movement. Store the pliers dry to prevent corrosion if using the INOX model in harsh environments.
