Precision Cutting Tool

The Knipex 70 02 160 is a diagonal cutting plier built for precise wire trimming. Its 160 mm length and narrow nose allow access to confined spaces. The vanadium steel construction delivers high strength with low weight. Multi-component handles provide a secure, comfortable grip during extended use.

Electricians and Fine Assembly

This plier suits electricians and technicians who need clean cuts in tight enclosures. The bevelled cutting edges ensure flush results on soft and medium-hard wire. Users requiring heavy-duty bolt cutting or high-leverage force should select a larger, dedicated cutter instead. The standard head shape does not accommodate bulky connectors.

160 mm Vanadium Steel Jaws

The 160 mm vanadium steel jaw length determines cutting capacity and reach. This dimension fits standard electrical boxes and terminal blocks. Verify that your typical wire gauge and workspace clearance match this size before purchase. No other specification overrides this primary constraint.

Questions about this item

Will the multi-component grips on these Knipex 70 02 160 pliers need replacing after heavy daily use?

The handles are bonded to the vanadium steel frame and are not designed as a user-replaceable part; if the grip material wears through, the plier is normally retired.

What cutting limit appears first when trimming hard wire continuously with the 70 02 160?

The narrow nose and standard bevel edge concentrate force on small diameters, so the practical limit is the wire thickness that still fits cleanly between the jaws without deforming the cutting edges.

How much heat builds up in the joint during all-day repetitive cutting with this diagonal cutter?

The forged vanadium steel body and riveted joint dissipate hand-generated heat quickly; the tool remains comfortable to hold during extended sessions.
