Pliers Knipex KP-7002125 Weight 119 g 70 02 125 Knipex

Pliers Knipex KP-7002125 (70 02 125) are a precision diagonal cutter designed for versatile use in electrical and mechanical tasks. Made from forged vanadium electric steel with oil hardening, these cutters combine durable construction with fine cutting edges suitable for both soft and hard wire. The narrow head allows access in confined areas while the induction-hardened cutting edges ensure long service life and reliable performance.

Advantages

High-quality material and precise workmanship provide long service life. The cutting edges are induction hardened to approximately 62 HRC, enabling clean cuts of thin copper wires and reliable performance on soft and hard wire. The narrow head design facilitates use in tight spaces while the overall robust construction offers good leverage and control for precision work.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin copper and electrical wires
• Precision cutting in confined or hard-to-reach areas
• Electrical and electronic assembly, maintenance and repair
• General workshop and DIY tasks requiring precise wire cutting

Key specifications

• Brand: Knipex
• Model / MPN: 70 02 125
• Weight: 119 g
• Material: Vanadium electric steel, forged, oil-hardened
• Cutting-edge hardness: approx. 62 HRC (induction hardened)

How to use

Position the wire between the cutting edges near the tips for the cleanest cut on thin copper wire or closer to the hinge for thicker sections. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the wire is severed. Use the narrow head to reach wires in confined spaces; ensure correct orientation so the cutting edges meet squarely. Maintain a firm grip and avoid twisting motions while cutting.

Usage recommendations

For long-lasting performance, keep the pliers clean and lightly oil the joint periodically. Do not use these precision cutters for cutting hardened steel bolts or materials beyond the specified wire types. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
