KNIPEX 72 01 140 Diagonal Cutter for Plastics 140 mm

KNIPEX 72 01 140 Diagonal Cutter for Plastics 140 mm
The KNIPEX 72 01 140 diagonal cutter for plastics, with a length of 140 mm, is a specialized cutting tool engineered specifically for plastic workpieces. Its key highlight is the "Flush Cut" cutting edge (without bevel), which leaves an entirely flush and smooth cut surface against the workpiece without burrs or residual ridges. It is ideal for cutting plastic parts from runners, plastic modeling, Gunpla, or industrial injection molding tasks. It features an integrated opening spring that automatically reopens the jaws, reducing fatigue during repetitive cutting of small components. The pliers are forged from vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened to ensure a razor-sharp, durable cutting edge throughout their service life.
Features
Smooth Flush Cut: The cutting edge is designed 100% flat without bevel, cutting plastic parts flush to the edge without leaving protrusions.
Built-in Opening Spring (Spring-Loaded): Automatically reopens the jaws after each cut, allowing quick and effortless one-handed operation on numerous pieces.
Highly Durable Cutting Edge: Although designed for plastics, it is made of premium-grade vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened to keep the cutting edges sharp for a long time without dulling easily.
Compact and Lightweight Design: With a length of 140 mm and a weight of just 125 g, it provides precise cutting control and easily accesses tight corners and confined spaces on runners.
High-Quality Plastic Handles: Plastic-coated handles provide a secure grip, resist worksite oils and chemicals, and are easy to wipe clean.
Applications (Suitable for)
DIY & Hobby: Flawlessly cuts plastic model kit parts (Plastic kits), Gunpla, or figures from the runner.
Plastics Industry: Trims sprues and excess plastic flash resulting from plastic injection molding processes.
Electronics and Assembly: Cuts cable ties or plastic wire sleeves flush, leaving no sharp ends to scratch hands.
Crafts and General Workshop Use: Suitable for handling all types of hard and soft plastics (Warning: Do not use to cut steel wire or hard metallic materials, as it will damage the cutting edges).
