The KNIPEX 7942125 ESD side cutter is a highly precise plier specifically designed for the finest cutting tasks in electronics and precision mechanics. This tool is characterized by electrically conductive, dissipative handles that ensure safe work on sensitive electronic components. The cutting edges are very precisely ground and sharp, with very small facets for exact cuts, as well as an option for flush cutting without a facet.
The cutting edges of the side cutter are additionally induction-hardened and achieve a hardness of approximately 64 HRC, which ensures long-lasting sharpness. Despite its robustness, the weight of the tool is about 20% less than that of conventional electronic pliers. A screwed joint with carefully manufactured joint surfaces allows for low-friction movement across the entire opening range. A smooth double spring supports gentle and even opening.
Ergonomically optimized multi-component sleeves and a pointed head further increase working comfort. The technical specifications include a length of 125 mm, a head width and a jaw length of 11 mm each, and a head thickness of 6.5 mm. The weight is 58 g. The material of the side cutter is steel, the surface is polished and burnished, which promises additional durability.
The Knipex "Profi" series for highest requirements concerning efficiency and performance. The precision cutting pliers have precision-ground, sharp cutting edges for the use e.g. in electronics and fine mechanics, with a small bevel or without bevel for precise cuts on sensitive electronic components. A low-friction double spring ensures a smooth and even opening. Forged of high-quality chrome-vanadium ball bearing steel with glare-free finish and low weight. All versions are electrically dissipative
