KNIPEX 72 21 160 Diagonal Cutter for Plastics 160 mm
KNIPEX 72 21 160 Diagonal Cutter for Plastics 160 mm is a high-quality hand tool from Germany designed specifically for plastic assembly and cutting applications. The standout feature that sets this model apart is the 85-degree angled jaw design, allowing the jaws to easily reach and cut workpieces in tight spaces, corners, or ergonomically restricted areas. The cutting face is ground completely flush with no bevel, ensuring clean cuts on plastic sprues without leaving burrs or tears, reducing the need for trimming with utility knives or sandpaper. It features an integrated opening spring that automatically pushes the jaws open, making repetitive cutting fast and reducing hand fatigue. The handles are coated with durable plastic, providing a secure, non-slip grip during operation.
