## Long description

The Knipex X-CUT compact 160 mm side cutting pliers (model KN 73 05 16T) are designed for precise cutting tasks in confined spaces. With a short jaw and side-cutting geometry, these compact cutters provide improved access and control when working on wires, small pins and similar materials. The tool combines the Knipex X-CUT concept with a compact 160 mm overall length suitable for professional tradespeople and hobbyists who need a reliable, maneuverable cutting instrument.
Advantages
These compact side cutting pliers offer precise cutting performance and easy handling in restricted areas. The short jaw and side-cutting action reduce the required reach while maintaining cutting power for small-diameter conductors and pins. The compact size improves manoeuvrability and control during repetitive tasks, and the construction supports accurate, clean cuts with minimal deformation of the workpiece.
Suitable for
Cutting electrical wires and conductors in tight installations
Trimming small pins, rivets or cable ties
Electronics assembly and maintenance work that requires precision
Hobby and craft projects with limited working space
Key specifications
Overall length: 160 mm
Type: side-cutting pliers with compact short jaw
Cutting action: X-CUT design for precise shearing
Intended materials: soft and hard wires, small pins and similar materials
Ergonomics: compact handle length for improved access in confined areas
How to use
Hold the pliers by the handles with a firm but comfortable grip, positioning the short jaw around the workpiece near the cutting edge. Apply steady pressure to the handles to close the jaws and shear through the material. For best results, position the material as close as possible to the pivot to utilise maximum cutting leverage and to achieve a clean cut. Regularly inspect the cutting edges for wear and avoid cutting hardened or abrasive materials beyond the tool’s intended use.
Usage recommendations
Use these compact side-cutting pliers for precise wire and pin cutting in areas with limited access. Maintain the tool by keeping the cutting edges clean and lightly oiled at the joint; store in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Do not use the pliers as a hammer or for prying to preserve the cutting geometry and tool life.
