Alicate de corte Knipex 70 06 180 T

The Knipex 70 06 180 T diagonal pliers are precision cutting tools designed for electrical and mechanical work. At 180 mm length, they combine a narrow head profile for access in confined spaces with high-quality chrome vanadium steel construction and induction-hardened cutting edges for durable, clean cuts including thin copper wires.

Advantages

These diagonal pliers feature precision cutting edges hardened to approximately 62 HRC and are made from forged, multi-stage oil-hardened vanadium electric steel for long service life. The narrow head enables use in tight areas while the exact workmanship provides reliable, clean cutting of both soft and hard wire. An integrated insulated tether attachment point allows connection of a tool tether for safer working at height.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft and hard electrical wires
• Trimming thin copper wires and fine conductors
• Working in confined or hard-to-reach areas
• Electrical installation and maintenance tasks
• Mechanical and general workshop cutting tasks

How to use

Position the diagonal pliers so the wire rests against the cutting edges near the pivot for optimal leverage. Squeeze the handles evenly to achieve a clean cut; for very fine work use the cutting edge tips. Use the narrow head to reach into confined spaces and avoid twisting the tool while cutting. Inspect the cutting edges before use and keep them free from debris to maintain cutting quality.

Recommendations

For safe use on electrical systems, ensure wires are de-energized before cutting. Use the integrated insulated tether attachment when working at height to prevent tool drops. Store the pliers dry and clean; occasional light lubrication of the pivot will preserve smooth operation.
