Cutting pliers Knipex 70 05 125 — 125 mm overall length, insulated red/blue handles

Knipex 70 05 125 cutting pliers are compact precision cutters with a total length of 125 mm, designed for accurate cutting in confined spaces. The tool features short, robust cutting jaws and insulated red/blue handles that improve grip and handling during detailed tasks. Constructed from forged steel, the pliers deliver consistent cutting performance and long service life for professionals who require a small, reliable cutting tool.

Advantages

The short overall length and compact jaw design allow for precise cuts close to components and in narrow openings. Insulated red/blue handles provide comfortable grip and visual distinction for quick tool identification. Forged steel construction and a hardened cutting edge ensure durability and the ability to cut through wires, small pins and soft metal components with minimal deformation. The tool’s balanced weight and ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical wires and stripped conductors in confined spaces
• Trimming small pins, cable ties and components on circuit boards
• General trades and maintenance tasks requiring precise small cuts

Key specifications

• Overall length: 125 mm
• Compact short cutting jaws for access in tight spaces
• Handle style: insulated red/blue grips for improved hold
• Material: forged steel body with hardened cutting edges
• Intended use: precision cutting of wires, small pins and soft components

How to use

Position the cutting jaws around the material to be cut as close as possible to the desired cutting point, ensuring the jaws fully enclose the conductor or component. Apply steady, controlled pressure on the handles until the cut is complete. For repetitive cuts, maintain a consistent hand position and avoid twisting the tool during the cut. After use, wipe the cutting edges clean and store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers for tasks within the tool’s intended capacity: cutting insulated and solid wires, small pins and soft components. Do not use the tool to cut hard or hardened wire or bolts beyond the designed cutting capability. Inspect the cutting edges regularly and replace the tool if significant wear or damage is observed.
