Side Cutters Knipex 77 72 115

Diagonal pliers Knipex 77 72 115 are precision cutting pliers designed for fine cutting work in electronics and fine mechanics. Forged from high-grade special tool steel and oil-hardened, these 115 mm pliers feature a pointed mini-head with a small bevel and induction-hardened cutting edges for durable performance.

Advantages

The pliers have a sturdy, zero‑backlash box joint and low‑friction double spring for gentle, even opening. The polished (or mirror polish for finish 2) surfaces combined with a fine film of oil provide effective rust protection and prevent chrome peeling that could cause circuit faults. The cutting edges are induction hardened to approximately 62 HRC for long-lasting sharpness.

• Fine cutting in electronics

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated handles and position the pointed mini‑head so the cutting edges align with the workpiece.

Avoid cutting hardened wire beyond the tool's intended use to preserve edge hardness.

Recommendations

For best results, keep the pliers clean and lightly oiled to maintain rust protection. Use them for fine precision cutting tasks only and store in a dry place to prolong service life.
