Snipe nose side cutting pliers (radio pliers), VDE insulated, chrome-plated, 160 mm - Knipex 25 06 160

When wiring control cabinets and distribution boards, a pair of pliers has to grip, shape and cut without forcing a change of tool in between. The 25 06 160 snipe nose side cutting pliers combine long tapered jaws with cutting edges for medium-hard wire up to Ø 2.5 mm, and the handles are insulated and VDE tested.

Benefits

• Half-round, long and tapered jaws reach into easily and moderately accessible areas.
• Serrated gripping surfaces hold wire, strands and small parts securely.
• Cutting edges for soft and medium-hard wire up to Ø 2.5 mm and hard wire up to Ø 1.6 mm, so no second tool is needed.
• Cutting edges additionally induction-hardened to about 61 HRC, which keeps them sharp over a long service life.
• Insulated multi-component grips to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900, VDE tested.
• Slim head measuring 16.5 mm across with a 3.0 mm tip width for cramped installations.

Areas of use

Electrical installation, control cabinet and control system building, service work and fine assembly. Wherever cores and components have to be positioned, bent and then cut to length inside tight enclosures, the combined gripping and cutting function saves a tool change.
