70 05 125, Side-Cutting Pliers

The Knipex side-cutting pliers 70 05 125 is a high-quality tool for demanding users. From the shape of the head to the grinding and hardness of the cutting edges, it is custom-designed for the diverse cutting tasks performed by electricians and mechatronics engineers. With its cutting capacity of up to Ø 1.5 mm for hard wire (e.g., steel cable wires) and up to Ø 3.0 mm for soft wire (e.g., copper wire), the side-cutting pliers offers a broad range of applications. The cutting edges are machined with special care and precision, enabling exact cuts—even on fine stranded wires—right up to the cutting tips. The side-cutting pliers 70 05 125 is forged from vanadium electric steel and achieves high strength through subsequent oil quenching and tempering. For permanently precise cutting, the cutting edge hardness is approx. 62 HRC. The length and sharpness of the cutting edges are optimized for high performance, even in confined spaces. The high quality and hardness of the cutting edges ensure a long service life. The handles are particularly non-slip and comfortable thanks to multi-component covers.
