Quality material and precise machining for long tool life.
The versatile diagonal cutters
Optimised for everyday work
Long appreciated by many - the diagonal cutters are a classic in the KNIPEX range.
From the shape of the head through to the polish and hardness of the cutting edges, they are customised for diverse cutting tasks in the day-to-day work of electricians, mechatronics engineers and electronics engineers.
The KNIPEX 70 06 160 diagonal cutters are insulated using multi-component grips in accordance with the insulation standard IEC 60900 / DIN EN 60900.
Universal cutting capacity
With their cutting capacities of up to Ø 2.0 mm on hard wire (e.g. wire rope fibre) and up to Ø 4.0 mm on soft wire (e.g. copper wire), these diagonal cutters offer a broad range of applications.
The long cutting edges make them ideal for cutting cable. The extremely carefully and precisely machined cutting edges enable even very fine stranded wire to be cut accurately – up to the tips of the cutting edges. This is a great advantage where space is restricted, for example when shortening fine stranded wires in junction boxes and distribution boxes.
Tough and durable
KNIPEX forge diagonal cutters from vanadium electric steel and make them strong by warming them and then quenching them in oil. To achieve a permanently accurate cut they additionally use high-frequency current to give the cutters a hardness of approx. 62 HRC.
Chrome plating is effective rust protection that pays off during outdoor use, for example. Thanks to the chrome plating, the diagonal cutters are particularly easy to clean.
KNIPEX diagonal cutters: precise cuts right up to the tips of the cutting edges
One can see how good diagonal cutters are by the cut. KNIPEX diagonal cutters deliver lasting high performance. In addition to the quality forged metal parts made of vanadium electric steel, the most important quality criteria at KNIPEX includes the precise machining of the tool steel manufactured in Germany.
The length and sharpness of the blades of the 70’s series are designed for high performance – even in confined spaces. The high quality and hardness of the blades guarantee a long service life.
