Knipex 5 1/2 in Diagonal Cutter
This Knipex diagonal cutting plier is built for electricians and technicians who need clean wire cuts in tight spaces. The 140 mm length and narrow nose reach into crowded panels and junction boxes. Vanadium steel jaws hold their edge through daily use. The uninsulated design suits de-energised work only.
Fits tool belts and compact pouches
The slim profile slides into a standard pocket without snagging on neighbouring tools. Beveled jaws let you trim flush against terminals, freeing you from filing sharp ends afterward. Multi-component grips stay secure when hands are oily or damp. No insulated rating means you must verify zero voltage before cutting.
Brown multi-component handles reduce strain
The two-tone grip spreads pressure across the palm, lowering fatigue during long wiring sessions. Ergonomic contours keep the wrist neutral for better control on repetitive snips. Vanadium steel construction resists chipping on hard wire. No spare springs or adjustment screws are included.
