Pincers Knipex KP-6462120

The Knipex KP-6462120 pincers are compact end-cutting nippers designed for precision electronics and micromechanics work. With a total length of 120 mm, a jaw width of 11 mm and a jaw length of 20 mm, they allow vertical, almost flush cutting of soft wire and component leads in confined spaces such as printed circuit boards. The short pliers head provides good leverage and precise power transmission to the cutting edges, while the mirror-polished, oiled surface offers corrosion protection without chrome plating.

Advantages

These electronics end cutting nippers feature a 65° angled cutting head that enables top-down cutting close to surfaces. A smooth box joint with zero backlash ensures stable guidance of the inner handle, reducing tilting and improving cutting quality and tool life. The cutting edges are induction hardened (≥60 HRC) and the whole tool is oil-hardened for durability. A low-friction double spring gives a gentle, steady opening action. The mirror polish with a fine oil film prevents chrome flaking, making the tool suitable for sensitive electronic environments.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft wires and component leads on printed circuit boards
• Flush or almost flush trimming of protruding wires and cables
• Precision electronics assembly and micromechanical work in confined spaces

How to use

Position the angled cutting edges above the wire or component lead so that the jaws approach vertically to the work surface. Apply steady hand pressure; the short head and good leverage transmit force efficiently to the cutting edges. Use the pliers for soft wires and leads only, and avoid cutting hardened wire or materials beyond the specified hardness. After cutting, allow the double spring to open the tool gently before repositioning.

Recommendations

For workshop use, maintain the mirror-polished surface by occasional re-oiling to preserve the rust protection. Do not use these end cutting nippers on hard or hardened steel wires to avoid damaging the induction-hardened cutting edges.
