X-Cut compact diagonal cutter with high lever transmission, chrome plated, 160 mm - Knipex 73 05 160 SB

Cutting fine copper strands cleanly and a multi-core cable moments later without changing tools is everyday work in control cabinet construction. The X-Cut 73 05 160 SB covers both and, thanks to its high lever transmission, needs around 40 percent less force than a standard diagonal cutter of the same length. This version is chrome plated and supplied on a self-service blister card.

Benefits

• 40 percent less force than standard diagonal cutters of the same length, which relieves the hand during repetitive work.
• Cutting edge angle and transmission ratio are optimally matched, giving high cutting performance with minimum effort.
• Box joint for highest stability at low weight, with a double supported joint axis built for heavy duty.
• Large opening width for thicker cable while the cut stays precise even on fine copper strands.
• Compact, weight saving construction with a 160 mm body, universally usable in assembly, maintenance and production.
• Chrome plated surface and handles with multi-component grips.

Version

At Knipex the suffix SB stands for self-service packaging on a blister card. Technically the pliers correspond to version 73 05 160, only the packaging differs. Within the series the figures 73 05 mark the chrome plated version, as opposed to the black atramentised 73 02 and the insulated, VDE tested 73 06.

Applications

Assembly, maintenance and production, electrical and control cabinet construction, electronics manufacturing and model making. Wherever the finest wires and thicker cable have to be cut with the same tool, the high lever transmission pays off.
