KNIPEX 72 11 160 Diagonal Cutter for Plastics 160 mm

KNIPEX 72 11 160 Diagonal Cutter for Plastics 160 mm
The KNIPEX 72 11 160 Diagonal Cutter for Plastics 160 mm (45° Angled Diagonal Cutters for Plastics) is a professional-grade hand tool from Germany, specially designed for assembling and cutting plastic components. A key highlight of this model is its 45-degree angled jaw design, which allows easy insertion into confined spaces or narrow corners. The cutting face is ground completely flat without a bevel (Flush Cut), ensuring that cuts on plastic molded sprues are smooth and burr-free, reducing the need for additional finishing work. The cutter comes with an integrated opening spring that automatically reopens the jaws, enabling fast repetitive cuts while reducing hand fatigue. The high-quality plastic-coated handles provide a secure, non-slip grip.
