Knipex 72 01 160 Diagonal Cutter for Plastics 160mm CrV

The Knipex 72 01 160 is a 160 mm diagonal cutter developed specifically for cutting plastics and other soft materials, with flat-ground cutting faces that produce clean, flush cuts directly at the surface of the workpiece. Unlike standard diagonal cutters designed for wire, the blades carry no bevel on the workpiece side, enabling flush separation of injection-molded parts and sprue remnants with minimal post-processing. An integrated opening spring and an improved leverage geometry deliver 25 percent more cutting performance compared to standard designs.
