The long cutting edges make them ideal for cutting cable. The extremely carefully and precisely machined cutting edges enable even very fine stranded wire to be cut accurately – up to the tips of the cutting edges, This is a great advantage where space is restricted, for example when shortening fine stranded wires in junction boxes, We forge the Knipex diagonal cutters from vanadium electric steel and make them strong by warming them and then quenching them in oil, To achieve a permanently accurate cut we additionally use high-frequency current to give the cutters a hardness of approx. 62 HRC, With their cutting capacities of up to 2. 0 mm on hard wire (e. g. wire rope fibre) and up to Ø 4. 0 mm on soft wire (e. g. copper wire), the Knipex 70 01 160 diagonal cutters offer a broad range of applications.
