78 03 140 ESD
Electronic Super Knips® XL ESD

  • Additional 15 mm longer version: greater stability, greater cutting performance
  • For ultra fine cutting work, e.g. in electronics and fine mechanics
  • In particular for cutting cable ties to length
  • Ground, very sharp cutting edges without bevel
  • Shear cut with controlled micro cutting edge misalignment for the most precise cutting of even the thinnest of wires and for a long service life
  • Precisely shaped tips cut wires close to a surface from Ø 0.2 mm
  • Joint with stainless steel rivet
  • Extremely smooth movement for minimum operator fatigue
  • With opening spring and opening limiter

Precise cutting, even of fine wires flush to surfaces

Extremely sharp cutting edges made of rustproof, air-hardened stainless steel

The Knipex Electronic Super Knips® is made of surgical steel (INOX steel). For cutting level to surfaces, the cutting edges are ground without a bevel and hardened to approx. 54 HRC. Thanks to the precisely machined tips, even fine wires that are in contact with housings or components can be cut precisely. Dexterity is required when working on electronic components and in fine mechanics. Thanks to its friction-free torsion spring, the Knipex Electronic Super Knips® 78 03 140 ESD is so smooth-action that the force can be controlled very finely when working on electronic components and in fine mechanics. The opening spring and opening limiter make work even easier. Important for electronic work: ESD grips on the handles enable slow, controlled equalisation of any differences in electric potential between the user and sensitive electronic components.

A special detail ensures a precise cut and a long service life

A special detail enables ultra-precise shear cuts on even the thinnest wires while also lending the pliers a long service life: The extremely sharp cutting edges of the Electronic Super Knips® 78 03 140 ESD are protected against collision after cutting thanks to a micro-cutting edge offset.

Brief overview

Precision for the finest cutting work: shear cut with controlled micro-cutting edge offset

Precision-shaped tips also cut through wires flush to surfaces from Ø 0.2 mm

Cutting value for soft wire up to Ø 2.1 mm; medium hard wire up to Ø 1.2 mm

Multi-component grips protect electronic components

Particularly smooth thanks to the friction-free torsion spring

Lightweight (77 g)

Production according to high standards for optimal work results and long service life

Made of stainless surgical steel (INOX); cutting edge hardness approx. 54 HRC

Knipex Electronic Super Knips® 78 03 140 ESD: high security and quality

The Knipex Electronic Super Knips® is used for the finest cutting work in electronics and fine mechanics. Radio technicians, industrial electricians, mechatronics engineers and electronics engineers, for example, value optimal work results. The following reasons speak in favour of these precision pliers: the particularly smooth operation, low weight, outstanding cutting precision, ESD handles that protect the components, and long service life, thanks in part to the micro-cutting edge offset. These advantages are the visible result of decades of experience in toolmaking, continuous further development and the commitment to high quality standards at Knipex: from the selection of materials through to machining and finishing.
