Surgical precision
Compact dimensions and great precision
The Knipex precision electronics diagonal cutter 79 42 125 Z ESD is a fine tool for cutting even the thinnest wires with surgical precision (from Ø0.1 mm). The Knipex 79 42 125 Z ESD is ideal for narrow assembly tolerances and precise configuration of wire ends. The edge hardness of approx. 64 HRC enables it to cut soft wire up to Ø1.3 mm – thanks to the excellent workmanship with superior precision. Since the cutting edges without bevel are ground, particularly precise flush cutting results can be achieved (cut perpendicular to the wire). It is 125 mm long and weighs just 58 g, making it very compact and 20% lighter than other electronics diagonal cutters. The ratio of handle length to pliers head size yields strong leverage. This allows cutting operations with minimal force. Due to its design, the Knipex 79 42 125 Z ESD is only suitable for soft wire.
Bolted joint. High cut quality and durability
The bolted joint of the Knipex 79 42 125 Z ESD precision electronics diagonal cutter enables high-quality cutting operations, as the cutting edges lock up and engage perfectly. The joint surfaces are carefully machined for easy operation. This leads to smooth and gentle opening after the cutting process, supported by a low-friction double spring.
High Knipex quality standards, ESD protection
Precision, functionality and reliability are maintained because the Knipex 79 42 125 Z ESD precision electronic diagonal cutter is forged from ball bearing steel with a burnished black finish. The cutting surfaces are finely ground. It protects electronic components against much-feared sudden discharges due to electrostatic charge differences.
