Key Features

The Knipex Electronics Super-Knips features precision-ground cutting edges without a bevel, designed for flush cutting applications. Its precisely shaped tips enable cutting wires as fine as 0.2 mm (1/64") diameter, even those resting directly on a board or component. A shear cut with controlled micro cutting edge misalignment helps ensure precise cuts on thin wires and contributes to a long service life. The tool incorporates a joint with a stainless steel rivet and an opening spring with an opening limiter for consistent operation. It is approximately 20% lighter than conventional electronics pliers, reducing user fatigue. The multi-component handles include grooves, providing a steady grip during use.

Applications

This Knipex 4.9" Electronics Super-Knips is suitable for ultra-fine cutting tasks in electronics and fine mechanics. It precisely cuts soft wire and is effective for working with electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCBs). The tool is also designed for cutting glass fiber cables (fiber optics). Its slim head design allows access to confined spaces, making it a valuable tool for detailed assembly and repair work.

Benefits

This precision cutting tool delivers clean, flush cuts on delicate wires and components, which helps prevent damage to sensitive electronics. The extremely smooth movement and opening spring minimize operator fatigue during repetitive or prolonged use. Its lightweight design and ergonomic multi-component handles enhance comfort and control, supporting precise manipulation in intricate tasks. The durable special tool steel construction and induction-hardened cutting edges provide reliable performance and extended tool life.
