The KNIPEX 70 02 160 diagonal cutter (side cutter) is a professional-grade tool for cutting wire and conductors, designed for intensive, long-term use. It easily cuts a wide range of materials, including hard wire and piano wire, thanks to precision cutting edges additionally induction-hardened. At 160 mm long, it is the universal format that fits any tool bag and toolbox.
The optimised cutting-edge angle and transmission ratio deliver high cutting power with low effort: it cuts with about 20% less effort than a conventional diagonal cutter. The forged pivot bolt withstands the loads imposed by hard materials, and the body, made of chrome-vanadium steel forged and oil-hardened in several stages, ensures durability and long-term precision.
The precision cutting edges are additionally induction-hardened (hardness about 62 HRC) and cut all types of wire, including piano wire. The head is polished and the body is black atramentized (burnished) for corrosion protection. The multi-component handles provide an ergonomic, comfortable grip for prolonged, fatigue-free work.
It is the right tool for electricians, fitters, mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need a robust, precise side cutter with high cutting capacity. KNIPEX brand, the German pliers specialist, made in Germany.
CAUTION! Respect the maximum cutting capacities (soft wire Ø 4 mm, medium-hard Ø 3 mm, hard Ø 2 mm, piano wire Ø 1.2 mm). Do not cut materials harder or thicker than specified and do not use the pliers as a hammer or pry bar - you risk damaging the cutting edges. Do not cut live objects: the tool is NOT VDE insulated.
