Diagonal pliers Knipex 25 05 140

The Knipex 25 05 140 diagonal pliers are compact precision cutting tools made from forged chromium-vanadium electric steel with oil hardening. At 140 mm length and about 111 g weight, they combine a small size for fine work with robust materials and induction-hardened cutting edges (approx. 61 HRC) for reliable cutting performance on different wire types.

Advantages

Pointed, half-round jaws with knurled gripping surfaces allow finer gripping and cutting work while providing secure hold on small parts. Cutting edges are suitable for soft, medium-hard and hard wire and have been induction hardened to increase wear resistance. The forged construction from vanadium electric steel and oil hardening ensures durability and long service life.

Suitable for

• Precision cutting of soft, medium-hard and hard wire
• Finer gripping and manipulation of small components
• Electrical and electronics assembly and maintenance
• Model making and detailed craft work

How to use

Hold the diagonal pliers by the insulated plastic handles and position the pointed jaws around the wire or small component to be cut or gripped. Apply steady pressure to the handles until the cutting edges pass through the material. For gripping tasks, use the knurled areas of the jaws to secure small parts. Use the compact size for controlled, precise movements in confined spaces.

Usage recommendations

Do not use these diagonal pliers on live electrical circuits. Avoid cutting hardened steel beyond the specified range and do not use the tool as a hammer or pry bar. Keep cutting edges clean and, if necessary, lightly oil the joint to maintain smooth operation and prolong tool life.
