70 05 140, Side-Cutting Pliers

Description

The Knipex side-cutting pliers model 70 05 140 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 mechatronic engineers. With cutting capacities of up to Ø 1.8 mm for hard wire (e.g., wire cable strands) and up to Ø 4.0 mm for soft wire (e.g., copper wire), the side-cutting pliers offer a broad range of applications. The cutting edges, machined with special care and precision, enable exact cuts—even on fine stranded wires—right up to the cutting tips. The side-cutting pliers model 70 05 140 are forged from vanadium electric steel and achieve high strength through subsequent heating and oil quenching. For permanently precise cutting, the cutting edge hardness is approx. 62 HRC. The length and sharpness of the cutting edges are designed for high performance, even in confined spaces. The high quality and hardness of the cutting edges ensure a long service life. The handles are especially non-slip and comfortable thanks to multi-component covers.
