## Long description

The Knipex 74 12 160 diagonal pliers are built for heavy, continuous use.

Induction-hardened precision cutting edges (≈64 HRC) extend edge life and maintain cutting quality. The forged, oil-hardened chrome vanadium construction ensures toughness and long service life under continuous use.

Key specifications
 Brand: Knipex
 Model / MPN: 74 12 160
 EAN: 4003773065111
 Length: 160 mm
 Weight: 209 g
 Material: Chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel, forged, oil-hardened

 Handle: Plastic
How to use
Position the pliers so the material to be cut lies close to the cutting edge for maximum leverage and a clean cut. Apply steady pressure to the handles until the cut is complete. For hard materials such as piano wire, make several controlled attempts rather than excessive force to avoid damage to the tool or workpiece. After use, wipe clean and store in a dry place to maintain cutting performance.
Usage recommendations
Use these diagonal pliers for frequent cutting tasks where durability and precise cuts are required. Avoid cutting hardened parts beyond the specified use, and keep the cutting edges free of grit and corrosion to preserve the induction-hardened edge.
