Vinoleikkuri Knipex 70 06 160 T

The Knipex 70 06 160 T diagonal-cutting pliers are precision cutters engineered for clean separation of wires and small tubes up to 4 mm in diameter. Their compact dimensions (160 mm length, 54 mm width, 28 mm height) provide a balanced grip and make the tool easy to handle, carry and store. The drop-proof design improves durability and reduces the risk of damage during on-site use, while the hardened cutting edges deliver consistent performance for electrical and mechanical tasks.

Advantages

These diagonal-cutting pliers combine a compact form factor with high cutting performance and robust construction. Hardened cutting edges resist wear and maintain sharpness for repeated cutting of copper, aluminium and small steel wires. The drop-proof design enhances safety and longevity, and the ergonomic size supports controlled, precise cuts in confined spaces. Materials and manufacturing meet professional standards for reliable, repeatable operation.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and uninsulated electrical wires
• Trimming small-diameter tubes and cable ties
• Electronic assembly and repair work
• Automotive wiring and maintenance tasks
• DIY and general household electrical work

Key specifications

• Maximum cutting diameter: up to 4 mm
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Width: 54 mm
• Height: 28 mm
• Construction: drop-proof design for increased durability
• Cutting edges: hardened, wear-resistant steel

How to use

Position the jaws around the wire or small tube to be cut, close to the insulating sheath where applicable. Apply steady pressure to the handles until the cutting edges sever the material. For clean cuts on soft conductors such as copper or aluminium, a single, decisive squeeze is typically sufficient. When cutting hardened steel or larger bundles, use controlled, incremental pressure to avoid stressing the tool. After use, wipe the cutting edges clean and store the pliers in a dry place to protect the hardened surfaces.

Recommendations

Use the pliers only within the specified cutting capacity (up to 4 mm). Do not use the tool for prying, twisting or cutting hardened materials beyond its rated range. Regularly inspect cutting edges for wear and consider professional sharpening or replacement if performance declines. Store the pliers in a tool pouch or toolbox to preserve the drop-proof finish and maintain safety.
