KNIPEX 70 07 160 Diagonal Cutters 160 mm

KNIPEX 70 07 160 Diagonal Cutters 160 mm
The KNIPEX 70 07 160 Diagonal Cutters, 160 mm (6.25 inches), are a must-have premium-grade cutting tool for professional electricians. The "07" series uniquely combines durability with safety: the pliers are chrome-plated for outstanding resistance against rust and corrosion, while the handles feature extra-thick dip-coated insulation tested according to VDE 1000V safety standards, ensuring total confidence when working with live electrical currents.
Forged from vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened, the cutting edges are additionally induction-hardened to achieve a hardness of approximately 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 2.0 mm. The narrow head shape allows for effortless cutting in confined or deep spaces, delivering clean and precise cuts even when using the tips of the cutting edges.
Features
VDE 1000V Insulated Handles (Dip-Coated VDE): Thick dip-insulated handles tested according to VDE and IEC 60900 standards, protecting against electric shocks up to 1000V
Rust-Resistant Chrome Plated Finish: Chrome-plated pliers head and body prevent rust, withstand humid environments, and are easy to clean
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 using just the very tips of the jaws.
Extra Durable Cutting Edges (62 HRC): Induction-hardened for heavy-duty work and long-lasting sharpness, preventing dulling even under heavy use
Premium Material (Vanadium Electric Steel): Special grade steel for electrical work, multi-stage oil-hardened for ultimate toughness and strength
