Cutting pliers Knipex 76 01 125, 125 mm, side cutter with 125 mm cutting edge length

Knipex 76 01 125 is a compact 125 mm side cutter designed for precise cutting tasks in electrical, mechanical and general workshop environments. The tool features a narrow head and a 125 mm overall length that provide access in confined spaces and allow controlled cutting of wires, small pins and similar materials. The pliers are built with hardened cutting edges to maintain sharpness and ensure consistent performance during repetitive use.

Advantages

The short, ergonomic handles and the slim head give improved reach and maneuverability when working in tight areas. Hardened cutting edges and precisely ground blades deliver accurate, clean cuts with minimal deformation of the workpiece. The compact size reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use and simplifies storage in tool kits or pockets.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and uninsulated copper and aluminium wires
• Trimming cable ties, small pins and staples
• Precision mechanical and electronic assembly work
• Maintenance and repair tasks in constrained spaces

Key specifications

• Total length: 125 mm
• Type: side cutter / diagonal cutting pliers
• Cutting edge length: 125 mm
• Jaw design: narrow head for access in tight spaces
• Material properties: hardened cutting edges for wear resistance
• Handle: compact, ergonomic shape for controlled gripping

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the material to be cut, aligning the wire or component close to the pivot point for maximum cutting force. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the material is severed. For insulated wires, ensure the insulation remains intact on intended sections by cutting only the conductor. Use the slim head to reach into confined areas and make small, controlled cuts. Inspect the cutting edges regularly and avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the tool's intended capacity to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the pliers as a hammer or pry tool. Keep cutting edges clean and lightly oiled to reduce corrosion. For electrical work, confirm that tools and users meet applicable insulation and safety requirements; if working on live circuits, use appropriately rated insulated tools. Store the pliers in a dry place and replace the tool if cutting performance noticeably degrades.
