Diagonálne bočné kliešte Knipex 74 01 180

The Knipex 74 01 180 diagonal pliers are designed for heavy-duty, continuous use. Made from forged chrome vanadium steel and oil-hardened for durability, these 180 mm pliers combine a compact size with high cutting performance. Precision cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 64 HRC, enabling clean cuts through various types of wire, including piano wire. The plastic handles provide a comfortable grip for precision cutting and gripping tasks.

Advantages

High cutting performance with minimal effort thanks to optimised cutting edge angle and transmission ratio. Precision cutting edges are induction-hardened (approx. 64 HRC) for long-lasting sharpness and reliable cutting of hard wires. Forged chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel construction with oil hardening increases strength and longevity. Compact 180 mm length and relatively low weight make the tool easy to handle in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft and hard wires
• Cutting piano wire and other hardened wires
• Precision cutting tasks in electronics and electrical work
• Work in confined or hard-to-reach areas

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the wire as close to the joint as practical, then squeeze the handles evenly to make a clean cut. For hardened wires such as piano wire, apply steady pressure and avoid twisting the pliers during the cut. Use the compact length to reach into confined spaces and maintain a firm, comfortable grip on the plastic handles for controlled movements.

Recommendations

For prolonged tool life, avoid cutting materials beyond the pliers’ intended use and clean the cutting edges after use. Store in a dry place and apply a light oil film to the joint occasionally to maintain smooth operation.
