KNIPEX 70 05 160 Diagonal Cutters 160 mm

KNIPEX 70 05 160 Diagonal Cutters 160 mm
The KNIPEX 70 05 160 diagonal cutters, with a standard size of 160 mm (6.25 inches), are a cutting tool trusted by professional tradespeople, designed for high durability and versatile use. The special feature of the "05" code model is the fully chrome-plated finish, which provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion from moisture, while also making it easy to clean. Made from vanadium electric steel, forged and multi-stage oil-hardened.
The cutting edges are precision-engineered to make clean cuts even on thin copper wires using just the tips. Further induction-hardened to achieve an edge hardness of up to 62 HRC, it accommodates cutting soft wire up to 4.0 mm, medium-hard wire up to 3.0 mm, and hard wire up to 2.0 mm. Enhanced comfort and reduced fatigue are provided by the two-tone multi-component grips combining hard and soft plastics, ensuring a secure, non-slip hold while applying pressure.
Features
Chrome-plated rust resistance (Chrome Plated): Chrome-plated head resists rust and withstands high-humidity environments or tasks involving contact with oil.
Precision Cutting: Cleanly and sharply cuts soft wire, copper wire, and hard wire without leaving burrs.
Clean cut at tips: Capable of cleanly cutting fine wires even with the very tip of the cutting edges.
Extra durable cutting edges (62 HRC): Induction-hardened for heavy-duty performance and long-lasting sharpness.
Narrow head style: Slim head design provides excellent access to workpieces in confined spaces or tight corners.
Non-slip two-tone handles (Multi-Component Grips): Dual-material plastic coating offers a comfortable grip and effectively distributes pressure.
