Side Cutter Knipex 70 06 125

The Knipex 70 06 125 diagonal pliers are compact, all-purpose cutters designed for precision trimming of soft and hard wire. Manufactured from vanadium electric steel with forged, oil-hardened construction and induction-hardened cutting edges (approx. 62 HRC), they provide clean cuts even on thin copper conductors. At 125 mm length and 121 g weight with plastic grips, they combine durability and comfortable handling for professional and home use.

Advantages
