X-Cut compact diagonal cutter, high lever transmission, insulated and VDE tested, 160 mm - Knipex 73 06 160 SB

In electrical installation two things count, a clean cut on fine copper strands and a grip you can rely on. The X-Cut 73 06 160 SB combines insulated, VDE tested multi-component grips with the high lever transmission of the X-Cut series, which saves around 40 percent of the force needed on a standard diagonal cutter of the same length. The pliers are supplied on a self-service blister card.

Benefits

• Insulated handles with multi-component grips, VDE tested, for work in the area of electrical installations.
• 40 percent less force than standard diagonal cutters of the same length, which relieves the hand over a full working day.
• Precision cutting edges additionally induction hardened to about 62 HRC, suitable for all types of wire including piano wire.
• Box joint with a double supported axis, highest stability at low weight and built for heavy duty.
• Large opening width for thicker cable and a precise cut even on fine copper strands.
• Compact, weight saving construction with a 160 mm body, universally usable in assembly, maintenance and production.

Version

At Knipex the suffix SB stands for self-service packaging on a blister card. Technically the pliers correspond to version 73 06 160, only the packaging differs. Within the series the figures 73 06 mark the insulated, VDE tested version, while 73 02 and 73 05 are supplied without insulation.

Applications

Electrical installation and control cabinet construction, maintenance of electrical equipment, switchgear and distribution systems as well as assembly and production, wherever the finest wires and thicker cable are cut with the same tool.
