Versatile, dip-insulated diagonal cutters with a length of 180 mm
Optimised for the craftsman’s everyday work and dip-insulated up to 1000 V
The 180 mm long Knipex diagonal cutters are a powerful, quality tool for discerning users.
From the shape of the head through to the polish and hardness of the cutting edges, the Knipex 70 07 180 is customised for the diverse cutting tasks in the day-to-day work of electricians and mechatronics engineers.
The Knipex 70 07 180 diagonal cutters are dip-insulated in accordance with the insulation standard IEC 60900 / DIN EN 60900.
Strong, universal cutting capacity
With cutting capacities of up to Ø 2.5 mm with hard wire (e.g. wire rope fibre) and up to Ø 4.0 mm with soft wire (e.g. copper wire), the Knipex 70 07 180 diagonal cutters offer a broad range of applications.
The long cutting edges make them excellent for cutting cable. The extremely carefully and precisely machined cutting edges enable even very fine stranded wire to be cut accurately – up to the tips of the cutting edges. This is a great advantage where space is restricted, for example when shortening cables in junction boxes or fine stranded wires in flush-mounted boxes.
Tough and durable
We forge these diagonal cutters from vanadium electric steel and give them high strength by warming them and then quenching them in oil. To achieve a permanently accurate cut, we additionally use high frequency electricity to give the cutting edges a hardness of approx. 62 HRC. The chrome plating is an effective rust protection which pays off during outdoor use. Thanks to the chrome plating, the diagonal cutters are particularly easy to clean.

Knipex diagonal cutters: precise cuts right up to the tips of the cutting edges
One can see how good diagonal cutters are by the cut. Knipex diagonal cutters deliver lasting high performance. In addition to the quality forged metal parts made of vanadium electric steel, the most important quality criteria at Knipex include the precise machining of the tool steel manufactured in Germany. The material to be cut is cut cleanly. The length and sharpness of the blades of the Knipex 70 07 180 are designed for high performance – even in confined spaces. The high quality and hardness of the blades guarantee a long service life.
