Precision flush-cutting pliers

The Knipex 78 13 125 ESD diagonal cutting plier is built for technicians and hobbyists who need clean, flush cuts on fine wire and component leads in electronics assembly and repair. Its pointed nose reaches into dense board layouts while the ESD-safe multi-component grips protect sensitive devices from static discharge. A built-in lead catcher retains clippings to keep the work area clear and prevent shorts.

Upgrade from standard side cutters

This tool replaces generic diagonal cutters that leave a pinch point or lack static protection, making the jump worthwhile when you regularly trim component leads on populated PCBs or handle static-sensitive parts. The flush jaw profile and lead catcher eliminate the secondary cleanup step that ordinary cutters require.

Check your workspace needs

Verify that the 23/64 in. jaw width and 17/32 in. jaw length suit the wire gauges and component spacing you typically encounter. Confirm that the overall length of 4 29/32 in. fits your bench space and tool storage. Ensure ESD-safe handling is a requirement for your current projects.

Questions about this item

What clearance is needed for the 29/32 in. overall length and 17/32 in. jaw length?

The tool measures 4 29/32 in. long with a 17/32 in. jaw, so allow at least that depth and headroom in the work area for the pointed nose to reach the cut point.

How do I use the lead catcher without losing the off-cut?

Position the wire so the flush jaw severs it inside the catcher pocket; the spring holds the piece until you open the handles and tap it out.

When should the 23/64 in. jaw width be checked for wear?

Inspect the cutting edges when the flush cut leaves a burr or the jaw faces no longer meet cleanly across the full 23/64 in. width.
