Diagonal cutter chrome-plated with comfort handles for hard wire up to 2.0 mm, 160 mm - Knipex 70 05 160

Anyone making many cuts over a working day notices the difference between brute force and a good lever ratio. At 160 mm the 70 05 160 diagonal cutter supplies the leverage for hard wire up to Ø 2.0 mm and keeps the narrow head style of the series.

Benefits

• Narrow head style, so cutting points in confined working areas stay within reach.
• Precision cutting edges for soft and hard wire, medium-hard wire up to Ø 3.0 mm, hard wire up to Ø 2.0 mm.
• Cutting edges additionally induction-hardened, cutting edge hardness approx. 61 HRC, which keeps the edge sharp over many cuts.
• Clean cut on thin copper wires, also at the tips of the cutting edges.
• Comfort handles made of three ergonomic components for optimised handling, plus two KNIPEXtend interfaces for extensions.

Areas of use

Electrical installation, switchgear building, workshop and assembly work. The 160 mm length is the usual compromise between leverage and handiness when wires of different gauges turn up at the same workplace.

Standards and conformity

The pliers are made to DIN ISO 5749, the standard for diagonal cutters. According to the manufacturer they contain no substances of very high concern under REACH, the RoHS directive does not apply.
