Diagonal pliers Knipex 78 41 125

The Knipex 78 41 125 diagonal pliers are precision cutting tools designed for ultra-fine work in electronics and fine mechanics. These 125 mm pliers feature ground, very sharp cutting edges without bevel for flush cutting and precision-shaped tips capable of cutting wires resting on a board from 0.2 mm diameter. The joint uses a stainless steel rivet and the cutting edges are induction hardened for long service life; the tool offers an extremely smooth movement with an opening spring and opening limiter for reduced operator fatigue. This model includes a narrow head, a lead catcher to prevent uncontrolled loss of cut wire ends, and is made from special tool steel with a burnished finish.

Advantages

Very sharp, ground cutting edges without bevel allow precise flush cuts; induction hardening raises cutting-edge hardness to about 60 HRC for improved durability. The narrow head and precision-shaped tips enable access in tight spaces and cutting of wires from 0.2 mm dia. Smooth joint action with a stainless steel rivet, opening spring and opening limiter reduces hand strain during repeated use. The integrated lead catcher secures cut wire ends to prevent uncontrolled loss.

Suitable for

• Ultra-fine cutting in electronics assembly and repair
• Fine mechanical work and precision model making
• Cutting component leads and wire trimming on PCBs
• Tasks requiring access in confined spaces

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handles and position the precision-shaped tips around the wire close to the board or component to achieve a flush cut. Apply steady, even pressure to the handles until the cutting edges sever the wire. Use the opening spring to reset the pliers between cuts and the opening limiter to control the maximum opening for repetitive tasks. After use, clean any residues from the cutting edges and store the tool dry to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

The Knipex 78 41 125 is intended for precision cutting of soft and hard wires on electronic assemblies; avoid cutting hardened steel beyond specified capacities and do not use the pliers for prying or as a hammer. Regularly inspect and maintain the cutting edges and rivet to ensure consistent performance.
