KNIPEX Diagonal Cutting Pliers 160 mm - 70 05 160

Daily Professional Use

This Knipex 70 05 160 side cutter is an established reference among electrical and mechatronics professionals. Its design features an optimized head geometry, precisely sharpened blades, and specific hardness meeting the requirements of recurring interventions on site or in the workshop.

Cutting Capacities

The tool ensures remarkable cutting versatility: hard wires up to 2.0 mm in diameter and soft wires up to 4.0 mm. The blade length particularly favors cable cutting. The finely worked edges guarantee clean cuts on the most delicate stranded wires, even at the jaw ends. This precision proves indispensable in confined spaces, particularly for adjusting fine conductors within distribution boxes.

Robustness & Longevity

Forged from vanadium electric steel, this cutter benefits from complete heat treatment with oil quenching. The blades reach a hardness of approximately 62 HRC thanks to high-frequency induction hardening, ensuring stable cutting performance over time. The bi-material handles provide comfortable and non-slip grip. The chrome plating protects the tool against corrosion related to condensation during storage in intervention vehicles, while simplifying maintenance.
