KNIPEX cutting pliers
You use KNIPEX cutting pliers, also called side cutters, for cutting wire, cable and other thin materials. These pliers are popular with mechanics, electricians, installers and DIY users who want to work neatly and in a controlled manner. KNIPEX cutting pliers have sharp cutting edges, a strong head and comfortable handles. They are available in different lengths, from compact models for precise work to more powerful versions for thicker wire and more intensive use.
Features of KNIPEX cutting pliers
KNIPEX cutting pliers are designed for precise and powerful cutting work. The cutting edges are sharply ground and suitable for different types of wire, depending on the model. Think of soft wire, hard wire and copper wire. Thanks to the strong construction and precise finish, the pliers cut cleanly and with control, even with regular professional use.
For wire, cable and installation work
Cutting pliers are one of the most commonly used pliers in a toolbox. You use them for electrical work, assembly, repairs and general DIY work. Compact models are useful in places where there is little space, while longer cutting pliers offer more leverage and cutting power.
Comfort, safety and maintenance
KNIPEX cutting pliers are available with different handles, including plastic-coated handles and comfort grips. For electrical work, there are also VDE versions, intended for safe working on electrical installations. Clean the cutting edges after use and only use the pliers for materials for which they are intended. Store the cutting pliers in a dry and protected place, for example in a toolbox or pouch. Combine them with snipe nose pliers or water pump pliers for a practical set for assembly and installation.
