7 inch End Cutting Nippers
These Knipex 68 01 180 end cutting nippers are designed for precise flush cutting of wire in electrical and mechanical assembly. The 7 inch length provides controlled leverage for professional tradespeople and serious DIY users.
Sustained cutting performance
The cutting edges handle hard wire up to 2.5 mm and medium hard wire up to 3.2 mm without deformation. A 61 HRC hardness rating ensures the cutting edges retain geometry through repeated use on tough materials.
