5 in Diagonal Cutting Plier
The Knipex 76 05 125 is a 5 in diagonal cutting plier built for heavy-duty wire cutting tasks. Its jaws are forged from vanadium electric steel for durability and feature beveled edges to produce clean cuts. A multi-component grip handle reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The overall length is 5 in with a jaw length of 13/16 in and jaw width of 9/64 in.
Electricians and technicians needing precise wire
This plier suits professionals and DIYers who require reliable cutting performance on copper and aluminium conductors. The oval nose design allows access in confined spaces. It is not intended for cutting hardened steel wire, nails or screws. Users needing bolt-cutting capacity or insulated handles rated for live voltage should select a different tool.
Jaw capacity and cutting headroom
The 13/16 in jaw length and 9/64 in jaw width comfortably handle standard electrical wiring and cable ties. The beveled cutting edges cleanly sever soft to medium-hard wire up to the tool's rated capacity. Cutting capacity is exceeded with piano wire, spring steel or thick multi-strand cables. The 5 in overall length limits leverage for very large diameter materials.

Questions about this item
What wire size can the 5 in diagonal cutting plier handle?
The jaws measure 13/16 in. long and 9/64 in. wide, letting the beveled edges slice through hard wire and soft cable within that throat capacity.
Can I keep using my older lineman pliers for heavier cuts while using this 76 05 125 for detail work?
Yes — the oval nose and multi-component grip are built for precision trimming, so the larger lineman pliers stay in the bag for thick gauge jobs.
How do I verify the vanadium electric steel jaws are cutting cleanly after first use?
Inspect the cut end: a flat, burr-free finish on copper or steel wire shows the induction-hardened edges are aligned and sharp.
