Knipex 78 03 125 ESD Super Knips® ESD Cutting Nipper

The Knipex 78 03 125 ESD is a 125 mm Super Knips precision cutting nipper designed for fine cutting work in electronics assembly and precision mechanics. It features ground, bevel-free blades made from INOX surgical-grade stainless steel and ESD-dissipative multi-component handles that protect sensitive components from electrostatic discharge. The shear-cut geometry with controlled micro-cutting edge offset delivers ultra-precise cuts on wires as fine as O 0.2 mm, including wires lying flush against housings and components.
