5 in Diagonal Cutting Plier

The Knipex 70 01 125 is a 5 in diagonal cutting plier built for wire, nail and bolt cutting tasks. Its narrow nose allows access in confined areas where larger cutters cannot reach. The tool is forged from vanadium steel for durability and cutting performance. It suits electricians, mechanics and DIY users needing a compact side cutter.

Red plastic coated handles

The handles feature a red plastic coating that maintains grip when hands are wet or slippery. This coating improves control during repetitive cutting without adding bulk to the tool profile. The beveled jaw design works with the handle leverage to produce clean cuts on each squeeze. No additional accessories or software are included with this hand tool.

Cuts wire, nails and bolts

The plier comfortably handles standard electrical wire, small nails and light bolts within its 5 in jaw capacity. The beveled cutting edges stay sharp through repeated use on these materials. It runs out on thick hardened rod, large diameter cable or heavy structural fasteners that exceed the leverage of a 125 mm tool. For those tasks a larger cutter or bolt cropper is required.

Questions about this item

Will the vanadium steel jaws need re-sharpening after heavy wire cutting?

The beveled jaws are induction-hardened vanadium steel and hold their edge through normal use; no re-sharpening is required under typical conditions.

What fails first when cutting hard bolts continuously?

The narrow nose limits leverage on thick bolts, so the joint will feel the strain before the cutting edges dull.

Do the red plastic-coated handles stay cool and grippy during all-day use?

The slip-resistant red coating insulates against heat buildup and remains secure even with wet or oily hands.
