Precision Cutting Tool

The Knipex 70 01 160 is a 6.4-inch diagonal cutting plier built from chrome vanadium steel for durability. It meets DIN ISO 5749 standards and features a narrow nose for access in tight spots. The dipped pistol grip handles are red and provide a secure hold during repetitive cutting tasks.

Build Integration

This hand tool requires no power source or mounting hardware to operate. It frees up workspace by combining precise bevel cutting for soft, medium-hard, and hard wire up to the stated capacities in a single compact form. The tether-capable design allows secure attachment to a lanyard when working at height.

Target User

Suited for technicians and assemblers who need a non-insulated, non-sparking cutter for general wiring and component leads. Not for buyers who require VDE-insulated jaws for live electrical work or an ESD-safe finish for static-sensitive environments. Those needing a spring-return action or integrated wire-stripping function should look at other models.

Questions about this item

How thick a wire can the 70 01 160 cut before the jaws start to slip?

The cutters handle soft wire up to 5/32 in, medium-hard up to 7/64 in and hard wire up to 5/64 in.

Do the dipped pistol grips stay cool and comfortable during a full day of repetitive snipping?

The red dipped grips are non-insulated plastic; they transmit hand heat and vibration, so comfort drops off after extended use.

What else must I have on hand before these diagonal cutters are ready to work?

Nothing extra — the 160 mm chrome-vanadium tool arrives complete with its red dipped handles and no accessories required.
