Diagonal pliers Knipex 79 32 125

Diagonal pliers Knipex 79 32 125 are precision cutters designed for ultra-fine cutting tasks in electronics and fine mechanics. Forged from chrome vanadium ball-bearing steel, they feature very precise, sharp cutting edges with very small bevels for exact cuts on delicate electronic components; a version without bevel is available for flush cutting. The cutting edges are induction hardened to approximately 64 HRC. At about 125 mm length and weighing approximately 58 g, these pliers are around 20% lighter than conventional electronics pliers and have ergonomically optimised multi-component plastic handles for comfortable handling.

Advantages

Very precisely ground and sharp cutting edges with small bevels enable exact cutting on delicate components; induction-hardened edges increase durability. The bolted joint with carefully manufactured joint surfaces ensures even, low-friction movement across the full opening range, while the smooth-running double spring provides a gentle and consistent opening action. The lightweight construction improves maneuverability during fine work.

Suitable for

• Cutting fine wires in electronics and circuit board work
• Trimming leads and small components in fine mechanics
• Precision work where low weight and high control are required

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the wire or component lead close to the workpiece, keeping the pliers perpendicular to the piece for a clean cut. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the cutting edges sever the material. Use the bolted joint and smooth double spring to open and reposition the tool between cuts. For flush cutting, select the bevel-free variant if required.

Usage recommendations

Do not use these precision diagonal pliers on hardened steel, piano wire, or live electrical circuits. Keep cutting edges clean and free of debris; occasional light lubrication of the joint will maintain smooth movement. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
