Precise cutting of finest wires – even soft wires up to Ø1.7 mm

Compact dimensions – long-lasting large cutting capacity

The precision electronics diagonal cutters from Knipex stand out from other electronics diagonal cutters because of their outstanding quality. They are precision tools for cutting even the finest wires with surgical precision. Being 120 mm long and weighing only 60 g, the Knipex 79 12 125 ESD is particularly compact and around 20% lighter than other electronics diagonal cutters: ideal for being carried around and for delicate work, e.g. solder contacts of electronic components. The edge hardness of approx. 64 HRC lets the Knipex 79 12 125 ESD cut soft wire up to Ø1.7 mm and even piano wire up to Ø0.6 mm. Impressive figures for such compact pliers. The ratio of handle length to pliers head size yields strong leverage. The very small bevel ensures a long service life for the cutting edges and the pliers.

Bolted joint. High cut quality and durability

The Knipex 79 12 125 ESD precision electronics diagonal cutter was developed especially for the separation of hard wire and piano wire. The joint surfaces are carefully machined for easy operation. This leads to gentle, even opening after the cutting process. Knipex 79 12 125 ESD is also suitable for use in tough industrial settings.

High Knipex quality standards, ESD protection

Precise guidance of the lever, low-friction and extremely sharp cutting edges ensure optimum results in precision electronics diagonal cutter 79 12 125 ESD from Knipex. Forged from ball bearing steel, black finish, finely ground cutting surfaces. Electrostatic energy is discharged evenly via the handles. ESD protection as per current standards.
