Diagonal pliers Knipex 78 61 125 Jaw length 9 mm Length 125 mm

Diagonal pliers Knipex 78 61 125 feature a 9 mm jaw length and a compact 125 mm overall length, designed for precision cutting in electronics, fine mechanics and other tight spaces. The tool weighs approximately 56 g and combines a slim profile with durable construction for reliable, fine cutting tasks.

Advantages

The cutting edges are ground and very sharp without bevel to allow flush cutting; they are additionally induction hardened to approximately 64 HRC for long life. Precision-shaped tips enable cutting of wires resting on a board from 0.2 mm diameter. The joint uses a stainless steel rivet and the tool offers extremely smooth movement, an opening spring and an opening limiter to reduce operator fatigue. Available in INOX or special tool steel.

Suitable for

• Precision cutting of electronic and fine-mechanical wires
• Flush cutting of wire ends and leads on printed circuit boards
• Cutting small-diameter wires from 0.2 mm up to fine cables
• Cutting glass fibre cables (fibre optics)

How to use

Position the precision-shaped tips directly at the wire or component lead to be cut and apply steady pressure on the handles until the cutting edges close fully for a flush cut. Use the opening spring to return the pliers between cuts and the opening limiter to control handle spread. For best results when cutting fibre optic cables or very fine wires, make sure the cutting edges are clean and aligned with the workpiece before closing.

Recommendations

Use these diagonal pliers for fine, precision cutting tasks in electronics and fine mechanics. Avoid cutting hardened steel wire beyond the tool’s specification. Keep cutting edges clean and store the pliers dry to preserve the induction-hardened edge.
