Compact Diagonal Cutter
The Knipex 76 12 125 is a five-inch diagonal cutting plier built from vanadium steel blades and finished in red cushion grips. It handles wire up to point one two five inches in diameter with a standard cut profile and manual jaw action. The oval nose and zero-degree head offset suit general bench and field trimming tasks.
Replacing Worn or Basic Cutters
Upgrade when existing pliers show blade deformation, lost cushion grip integrity or insufficient jaw opening for the wire gauges you encounter. The seven-eighths-inch cutter length and one-inch maximum jaw opening extend practical capacity over smaller or dulled tools without increasing overall tool length.
For Technicians Needing a Small Non-Insulated Cutter
Suits electricians, mechanics and hobbyists who need a compact non-insulated cutter for de-energised work and do not require ESD-safe or tether-ready features. Not suited for live-circuit applications, spark-sensitive environments or users who need insulated handles or integrated tether points.

Questions about this item
What is the overall length of the Knipex 76 12 125 pliers for toolbox fit?
The overall length is 5 in, so measure your tray or pocket against that figure to confirm it will sit flat.
How do I use the manual jaw opening correctly, and what step do users often skip?
Squeeze the handles to open the jaws, position the wire at the 7/8 in cutter length near the pivot, then cut; skipping the pivot placement reduces leverage and cuts poorly.
When should the Vanadium Steel blades be replaced based on the 0.125 in cutting limit?
Replace the pliers when they no longer cleanly sever wire at the maximum 0.125 in diameter, as dull blades crush rather than cut.
