Construction and application

These pliers are designed for cutting soft and hard wire, as well as thin copper wire. The elongated blade allows access to hard-to-reach places, which is particularly useful when working in tight spaces. The slim head also makes it easier to maneuver the tool. Induction-hardened blades (approx. 62 HRC) guarantee long-lasting sharpness and wear resistance. Made of electrical vanadium steel, forged and repeatedly oil-hardened, they provide strength and reliability even with intensive use.

• Versatility: ideal for installation, service and repair work.
• Precision: allow clean cutting of wire, without leaving burrs.
• Durability: high-quality materials and induction hardening of the blades ensure a long service life of the tool.
• Accessibility: elongated blade makes it easier to work in hard-to-reach places.
• Comfort: polished head and handles provide comfortable use.

KNIPEX 70 02 160 pliers are used in many fields, such as:

• Electrical installations – cutting wires and cables.
• Electronics – precise cutting of electronic components.
• Mechanics – processing steel wire and other materials.
• Household work – minor repairs and modifications requiring precise wire cutting.
• Control cabinet assembly - preparing wires for connectors

The electrical vanadium steel used ensures not only mechanical strength, but also corrosion resistance, which translates into a longer tool life even in difficult working conditions. The black phosphate coating additionally protects against corrosion and provides a secure grip during work.
