X-Cut compact diagonal cutter with high leverage, hard wire 2.7 mm dia., 160 mm - Knipex 73 02 160

A diagonal cutter of only 160 mm usually reaches its limit on hard wire. In this length the KNIPEX X-Cut still cuts hard wire up to 2.7 mm dia. and piano wire up to 2.2 mm dia., because the cutting edge angle and the transmission ratio are matched to each other. According to the manufacturer this saves 40 percent effort compared with standard diagonal cutters of the same length.

Benefits

• High cutting performance with little effort thanks to the matched cutting edge angle and transmission ratio, 40 percent less effort than standard diagonal cutters of the same length.
• Cuts the finest wires precisely as well as multi-stranded cables up to 12 mm dia. and hard piano wire up to 2.2 mm dia.
• Box joint for maximum stability at a low weight of only 175 g.
• Double-bearing joint axle for hard and continuous loads.
• Wide opening for thicker cables, precise cut even on fine copper strands.
• Compact, weight-saving design with black atramentized pliers, polished head and multi-component sleeves.

Areas of use

Assembly, maintenance and production, electrical installation and plant construction. The compact length fits into the tool pouch and into tight installation spaces, while the wide cutting range makes a second tool for hard wire unnecessary in many cases.

Standards and conformity

The cutter complies with DIN ISO 5749. According to the manufacturer it contains no substances of very high concern under REACH. The RoHS directive does not apply to this product.
