Diagonal pliers Knipex 74 06 200 T

The Knipex 74 06 200 T diagonal pliers are precision cutting tools designed for clean, reliable cuts in electrical and mechanical work. Constructed from chrome-finish tool steel and sized at 200 mm, these diagonal cutters combine a compact form factor with leverage suited to repeated use. With a cutting capacity suitable for small-diameter pipes and wire, the tool supports accurate trimming and isolation tasks while offering a balanced grip and controlled handling.

Advantages

These diagonal pliers provide precise cutting edges that maintain sharpness and resist deformation under normal working loads. Their 200 mm length offers a compromise between reach and control, while the chrome surface improves corrosion resistance and simplifies cleaning. The tool's weight distribution and ergonomic handles enable steady pressure application for consistent cutting results across a variety of materials up to the specified maximum diameter.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical wires and small cables
• Trimming small-diameter pipes up to approximately 4.2 mm
• Electronics assembly and repair tasks
• General workshop and maintenance cutting tasks

Key specifications

• Overall length: 200 mm
• Material: chrome-finish tool steel
• Weight: approximately 311 g
• Maximum cutting diameter (pipes): approx. 4.2 mm
• Tool type: diagonal cutting pliers

How to use

Position the jaws around the material to be cut with the cutting edges aligned to the desired cut point. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the material is severed, keeping fingers clear of the cutting zone. For repeated or heavy-duty cuts, allow the tool to return to its open position between operations to avoid user fatigue. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses when cutting springy or tensioned wires.

Recommendations

Use the pliers only within the stated cutting capacity to preserve cutting edge geometry. Avoid cutting hardened steel or large-diameter materials that exceed the tool's specification. Keep the tool clean and lightly oiled at the joint to maintain smooth action and inspect the cutting edges regularly for nicks or deformation.
