Diagonal pliers Knipex 70 02 140

The Knipex 70 02 140 diagonal pliers are compact cutting tools designed for general-purpose use. Made from high-quality chromium-vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened, they combine wear resistance with precision cutting performance. The narrow head allows access in confined spaces while induction-hardened cutting edges (approx. 62 HRC) deliver clean cuts on soft and hard wire, including thin copper conductors and cuts at the tip.

Advantages

High-quality forged construction and precise workmanship ensure long service life. Precision cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 62 HRC for durable sharpness. The narrow head design enables use in tight areas, and the lightweight 140 mm tool with plastic handles provides comfortable handling for precision tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft and hard wires
• Cutting thin copper wires and conductor ends
• Work in confined or tight spaces
• Precision electrical and electronics tasks

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handles and position the wire as close to the cutting edges as possible for a clean cut. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the wire severs. For precise tip cuts, align the conductor with the cutting-edge tips. Avoid twisting the pliers while cutting to maintain edge alignment and prolong tool life.

Usage recommendations

Clean and lightly oil the joint periodically, avoid cutting materials harder than specified, and store the pliers dry to preserve the induction-hardened cutting edges and overall tool performance.
