Knipex 79 52 125 ESD 5 in diagonal cutting plier

SKU CH-9EPT-JQ60B

Precision diagonal cutting pliers with ESD-safe handles, 5 in overall length and 0.016 in maximum wire cutting diameter

  • ESD-safe precision cutting protects sensitive components
  • Pointed nose reaches tight spaces on dense boards
  • Spring-return jaws reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cuts
  • Cushion grips absorb pressure for comfortable all-day use
  • Hardened edges slice 0.016 in wire cleanly

Precision ESD diagonal cutter

The Knipex 79 52 125 ESD is a 5 in precision diagonal cutting plier built for electronics work where electrostatic discharge protection matters. Its pointed nose and standard cut profile suit fine wire trimming on crowded boards. The tool is new and rated for a maximum hard steel diameter of 1/64 in.

Spring return with cushion grip

A spring return jaw opening reduces repetitive strain during long assembly sessions while the deluxe cushion grip keeps the hand comfortable. The plier is not insulated, non-sparking, or tether ready so it does not meet live-line or drop prevention requirements. Voltage rating is not rated.

Consistent cut on small gauges

Under sustained use the cutter maintains its 0.016 in maximum wire cutting diameter without the jaw spread drifting. The 0 deg head offset keeps the cut flush against the workpiece even when the user applies steady pressure. Hard steel capacity stays at 1/64 in throughout the shift.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the spring-return jaws open and close smoothly after first use?

Operate the handles several times; the spring should return the pointed nose to the fully open position without sticking, and the 1/2 in jaw length should align evenly when closed.

What comes in the package and is anything else needed to start cutting?

The box contains the 5 in diagonal cutting plier with deluxe cushion grips; no extra accessories or consumables are required for standard wire cutting tasks.

Which cutting capacity should I choose for hard steel wire up to 1/64 in diameter?

This model is rated for maximum hard steel diameter of 1/64 in and maximum wire cutting diameter of .016 in, so select it when those limits match your application.
