Precise cutting of wire or cable ties can be a challenge in tight spaces, but the new compact KNIPEX Slim Knips (78 03/61 150 V01) are designed to make those cramped and awkward jobs easier.
The Slim Knips pliers have a slender, asymmetrical design that makes it easier to guide them accurately into deep or awkward spaces so they are ideal if you need to get into cabinets, trim panels and electronic assemblies.
A micro-offset cutting edge gives clean, controlled cuts while the precisely shaped tips cut both solid and fine-stranded copper conductors and even the thinnest of wires. An integrated lock keeps the cutting edges closed, keeping it safe during transport and saving space while being stored. It also acts as a stop when working with cable ties so they can be tightened without being unintentionally cut. These pliers also have a wide opening range so it’s easy to trim or remove cable ties flush with the surface.
The Slim Knips can be paired with an optional holster (78 09 LE) available individually or as a set, keeping the tool within easy reach. As the holster is also compatible with other models in the Electronic Super Knips® range, you can organise your tool setup quickly and easily.
For electricians and technicians working in tight or awkward spaces, the Slim Knips offer a practical way to improve access and maintain control, helping ensure clean, accurate results across a wide range of applications.
