Knipex 78 03 140 Electronic Super Knips XL 140mm Precision Cutter

The Knipex 78 03 140 Electronic Super Knips XL is a 140 mm precision flush cutter designed for fine cutting work in electronics and precision mechanics. At 15 mm longer than the standard Super Knips, it delivers higher stability and increased cutting performance while retaining the ultra-sharp, facet-free blades that produce clean shear cuts on wires as fine as 0.2 mm. The tool is manufactured from INOX surgical steel and features a stainless steel rivet joint for long-lasting, corrosion-resistant performance.
