KNIPEX 70 06 125 Diagonal Cutters 125 mm

KNIPEX 70 06 125 Diagonal Cutters 125 mm
The KNIPEX 70 06 125 diagonal cutters are compact 125 mm (5-inch) cutters designed for electricians who demand maximum agility and safety. The "06" model series stands out with its chrome-plated finish, providing excellent protection against rust and moisture corrosion. They come with two-tone insulated handles tested according to VDE 1000V standards, ensuring confidence with every touch when working around live electrical currents.
The pliers are forged from vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened. The precision-engineered cutting edges cleanly cut copper wires or fine electrical conductors, even using just the very tips of the cutting edges. Furthermore, induction-hardened cutting edges reach a hardness of approximately 62 HRC, capable of cutting soft wire up to 3.0 mm, medium-hard wire up to 2.3 mm, and hard wire up to 1.5 mm. The slim head design provides easy access to confined work areas.
Features
VDE 1000V Insulated Handles: Two-tone insulated handles tested to VDE and IEC 60900 standards, protecting against electric shock up to 1000V for safety in any situation.
Rust-Resistant Chrome Plated: Chrome-plated head and body resist rust formation, withstand humid environments, and are easy to clean.
Compact and Portable: Mini 125 mm size, lightweight, highly maneuverable, ideal for carrying in a tool pouch.
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 high wear resistance, maintaining edge sharpness over a long service life.
Narrow Head Style: The slender head design provides excellent access to workpieces in confined spaces, circuit boards, or control cabinets.
Applications (Suitable for)
Low-to-medium voltage electrical work requiring protection against electric shock (insulated up to 1000V).
Cutting electrical wires, copper conductors, or stripping small cables in hard-to-reach areas such as control cabinets and switchboards.
Maintenance and installation of electrical appliances, electronic devices, or smartphones.
Work in high-humidity areas or outdoor applications (the chrome-plated head offers superior rust resistance).
Crafts, handiwork, or DIY projects requiring robust and safe tools.
