Knipex End Cutting Pliers 7 in
The Knipex 50 01 180 is a 7-inch end cutting plier built for tradespeople who need to snip wire flush against a surface. Forged and oil-hardened steel jaws provide extreme wear resistance for daily professional use. Red dipped plastic handles give a secure grip without electrical insulation. This hand tool suits automotive, electrical and general maintenance tasks.
Cutting capacity 2.0 mm medium hard wire at 60 HRC
The decisive specification is the maximum cutting capacity of 2.0 mm diameter medium hard wire rated at 60 HRC Rockwell hardness. Cutting edge length measures 15/16 in and the tool handles wire thickness up to 0.08 in. Exceeding these limits will damage the jaws or produce an unclean cut. Match the wire grade to these figures before purchasing.
For flush-cutting medium wire in tight access
These pliers suit technicians cutting bolts, nails or wire ends flush in confined spaces where side cutters cannot reach. They are not for heavy gauge wire, hardened spring wire or live electrical work because the handles are not insulated. Buyers needing insulated handles or larger cutting diameters should select a different model.

Questions about this item
How thick a wire can the 2.0 mm cutting capacity actually sever in the workshop?
It cleanly cuts medium-hard wire up to 2.0 mm diameter and handles material rated to 60 HRC, so typical fence wire, nails and piano wire up to that thickness are well within range.
What does the oil-hardened, forged construction mean for the cutting edges over time?
The forged, oil-hardened jaws give extreme wear resistance, keeping the 15/16 in cutting edges sharp through heavy daily use without needing frequent re-sharpening.
Will the 7 in length and dipped plastic handles fit my tool belt pouch?
At 180 mm overall length with red dipped plastic grips, the pliers sit comfortably in standard electrician or lineman pouches without snagging.
