Diagonal pliers Knipex 25 01 125

The Knipex 25 01 125 diagonal pliers are compact precision cutters designed for finer gripping and cutting tasks. Made from forged chromium-vanadium electric steel with oil hardening, they combine a slim 125 mm length and lightweight construction to facilitate controlled handling during delicate work. The tool features pointed, half-round jaws and knurled gripping surfaces for secure positioning of small parts, while plastic handles offer comfortable manual control.

Advantages

Pointed, half-round jaws and knurled surfaces improve access and hold on small components. Cutting edges are induction hardened to approximately 61 HRC for durable, long-lasting sharpness across soft, medium-hard and hard wire. The forged chromium-vanadium steel construction with oil hardening ensures structural strength and wear resistance in repeated use.

Suitable for

• Precision electronics assembly and repair
• Cutting and trimming small electrical wires and leads
• Model making and fine crafting work
• Gripping small parts during assembly

Key specifications

How to use

Hold the pliers by the plastic handles and position the pointed jaws around the component or wire to be gripped or cut. Apply steady pressure with a controlled motion for cutting; for gripping or bending, use the knurled jaw surfaces to prevent slipping. Use the correct cutting position along the edge and avoid cutting hardened materials beyond the tool's intended wire hardness range to maintain edge life.

Usage recommendations

For longer tool life, avoid cutting materials with unknown hardness above the specified range, keep the cutting edges clean and free of residues, and store the pliers dry. Periodic light lubrication of the joint will ensure smooth operation.
