KNIPEX 62 12 120 Electronics Oblique Cutting Nipper 120 mm

KNIPEX 62 12 120 Electronics Oblique Cutting Nipper 120 mm
KNIPEX 62 12 120 electronics oblique cutting nipper, a high-precision hand tool made to German standards, designed specifically for electronics, fine mechanics, and model building requiring ultimate accuracy. The jaws are angled obliquely to facilitate cutting workpieces in hard-to-reach, confined spaces. The pliers are forged from ball bearing steel and oil-hardened, ensuring a robust, wear-resistant structure.
The cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 58 HRC, cleanly cutting soft wire up to 1.0 mm without rough edges. They also feature a low-friction double spring mechanism that ensures smooth and even opening and closing of the jaws, reducing user fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks. Combined with multi-component grips that feature both hard and soft plastic zones for a secure, non-slip hold.
Features
Special oblique jaw design: Shaped to efficiently access narrow areas or tight angles on circuit boards and small components.
High-precision cutting edges: Induction-hardened (58 HRC) to deliver clean, burr-free cuts, ideal for soft wire (up to 1.0 mm).
Smooth joint operation: Zero-backlash joint assembly provides precise and stable movement throughout its service life.
Internal Double Spring: helps open the jaws smoothly and automatically, reducing required effort and minimizing hand fatigue
Ball Bearing Steel: forged and oil-hardened for maximum durability; mirror-polished finish to prevent rust
Non-slip multi-component grips: coated with two types of plastic (rigid and soft) for a secure, comfortable grip and easy control of cutting force
Applications (Suitable for)
Repair and assembly of electronic printed circuit boards (PCBs) requiring precise trimming of component leads
Cutting copper wire, fine electrical wire, or cable wiring in communication equipment
Assembly of plastic models (Gunpla), plastic runners, or miniature workpieces requiring high precision
DIY crafts, jewelry making, or intricate watch mechanisms
