KNIPEX Diagonal Cutter - Knipex

The KNIPEX 77 72 115 Diagonal Cutter is a precision-engineered tool designed for intricate cutting tasks encountered by professional technicians and mechanics in automotive and industrial electronics. This specialized electronics diagonal cutter features a robust, load-optimized design with a backlash-free box joint, ensuring superior stability and long service life for demanding applications.

Key Features

• Precision Cutting: Equipped with a pointed mini-head and a small bevel, these cutters are ideal for fine cutting work in confined spaces, such as on printed circuit boards (PCBs) and in precision equipment.
• Durable Construction: Forged from high-grade special tool steel and multi-stage oil-hardened, the cutting edges are additionally laser-hardened to approximately 62 HRC for exceptional durability and sustained cutting performance.
• Optimized Ergonomics: The slim multi-component handles provide a comfortable and secure grip, while the low-friction double spring ensures smooth, even opening for reduced hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.
• Corrosion Protection: A mirror polish, combined with a fine oil film, offers effective rust protection, preventing circuit faults that can occur from peeling chrome on plated tools.
• High Leverage: The design incorporates a very high transmission ratio, requiring less physical effort for clean and precise cuts.

Applications

The KNIPEX 77 72 115 Diagonal Cutter (also known by part number 407065 for specific inventory systems) is an essential tool for fine cutting in sensitive electronic environments. It excels at tasks such as trimming component leads on PCBs, cutting soft wires in automotive wiring harnesses, and performing general wire and component cutting in control systems and delicate machinery. It is specifically designed for soft wires up to Ø 0.8 mm, making it unsuitable for medium-hard or hard wire applications.
