KNIPEX 70 05 180 Diagonal Cutters 180 mm

KNIPEX 70 05 180 Diagonal Cutters 180 mm
The KNIPEX 70 05 180 Diagonal Cutters 180 mm (7 inches) are the ultimate versatile cutting tool designed to meet the demands of professional tradespeople who require both precision and durability. The special feature of the "05" code series is that the entire tool is chrome-plated, providing an excellent protective barrier against rust and moisture corrosion while being easy to clean. Made of vanadium electric steel, forged and multi-stage oil-hardened for maximum strength.
The cutting edges are meticulously engineered and manufactured to deliver smooth cuts even on thin copper wires using only the tips. Furthermore, induction-hardened cutting edges reach a hardness of approx. 62 HRC, capable of cutting soft wire up to 4.0 mm, medium-hard wire up to 3.0 mm, and hard wire up to 2.5 mm. Operational agility is enhanced by multi-component grips combining hard and soft plastics, ensuring a secure, non-slip grip, excellent pressure distribution, and reduced fatigue during continuous use.
Features
Rust-resistant Chrome Plated: Chrome-plated head and body provide rust protection and resist high-humidity environments or applications involving exposure to oil and chemicals.
Precision Cutting: Cleanly and sharply cuts soft wire, copper wire, and hard wire without leaving annoying burrs.
Clean Cut at Tips: Capable of cutting thin wires cleanly even with the very tips of the cutting edges.
Extra Durable Cutting Edges (62 HRC): Induction-hardened for heavy-duty work and long-lasting sharpness without easily dulling.
Narrow Head Style: Slim head profile allows excellent accessibility in confined spaces or obstructed working areas.
Non-slip Multi-Component Grips: Dual-component plastic coating, soft and comfortable to grip, ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue when applying squeezing force.
Applications (Suitable for)
Electrical and electronic work (cutting wires, cutting copper wire, stripping small cables)
Maintenance work in industrial factories, machinery component assembly, or control cabinets
Work in high-humidity areas or outdoor on-site repairs (chrome-plated body provides exceptional rust resistance)
Crafting, handicraft, and DIY projects that require durable cutting tools providing clean, neat cuts.
