Knipex 77 42 115 Diagonal Cutting Nippers 115mm

The Knipex 77 42 115 is a 115 mm electronics diagonal cutting nipper engineered for precision cutting of fine wires and cables in confined workspaces such as circuit boards and fine mechanical assemblies. The pointed, bevel-free head and laser-hardened cutting edges with a hardness of approximately 62 HRC deliver clean, accurate cuts on soft wire up to 1.3 mm in diameter.
