Diagonal pliers Knipex 97 52 33 SB

The Knipex 97 52 33 SB diagonal pliers are precision cutting tools designed for reliable cutting and trimming tasks. Constructed from chromium-vanadium steel, these diagonal cutters combine durability with consistent cutting performance. With an overall length of 220 mm and a balanced weight of approximately 500 g, they offer effective leverage for clean cuts while the plastic handle ensures a secure, ergonomic grip for controlled operation in a variety of environments.

Advantages

These diagonal pliers provide a long service life due to hardened cutting edges and robust material selection. The tool’s geometry and length deliver increased cutting force with minimal user effort, and the plastic-coated handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use. The compact head design allows access to confined spaces and enables precise diagonal cuts in wires, cables, and small components.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper and aluminum wires in electrical installations
• Trimming component leads and small pins in electronics
• General workshop tasks requiring precise diagonal cuts
• Maintenance and repair jobs where accessibility is limited

Key specifications

• Material: chromium-vanadium steel with hardened cutting edges
• Overall length: 220 mm
• Weight: approximately 500 g
• Handle: plastic-coated ergonomic grip
• Head design: compact, optimized for access in tight spaces

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the wire or component to be cut, close the handles evenly to apply a controlled slicing action, and maintain a steady grip on the plastic-coated handles. For insulated conductors, ensure you first confirm the conductor is de-energized and use appropriate personal protective equipment. For repeat cuts, inspect the cutting edges periodically for wear and replace the tool if the cut quality degrades significantly.

Usage recommendations

Use these diagonal pliers for non-hardened and soft metal conductors, small pins, and precision trimming tasks. Avoid cutting hardened steel, piano wire, or materials beyond the tool’s intended capacity, as this can damage the cutting edges. Store the pliers in a dry place and keep the cutting edges clean and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion and maintain performance.
