Knipex 70 02 160 Diagonal Cutting Plier 4mm

Product Description

The KNIPEX 70 02 160 is a diagonal cutting plier engineered for precision wire cutting in electrical, HVAC, and general trade applications. It features induction-hardened cutting edges and a multi-stage oil-hardening process that maintains edge sharpness through repeated use. The plier handles cutting capacities of 2, 3, and 4 millimeters, with a jaw width of 11 millimeters and a jaw thickness of 10 millimeters. The steel body provides durable, long-service performance. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers rely on this type of cutter for trimming wire, cutting ties, and detail work in tight spaces.

This diagonal cutter is suited for residential and commercial trade work where clean, precise cuts are required on wire and soft rod stock up to 4 millimeters in diameter. It is appropriate for panel work, low-voltage wiring runs, and instrumentation jobs where control over cut angle and edge quality matters. The compact jaw geometry makes it useful in confined enclosures and junction boxes where a full-size cutter would not fit. It is not insulated and is not intended for live-conductor work.

Key Features

• Induction-hardened cutting edges for extended service life
• Multi-stage oil-hardening process for consistent edge geometry
• Cutting capacity: 2, 3, and 4 millimeters
• Jaw width of 11 millimeters for detail cutting in confined spaces
• Steel body construction for durability in field use
• Meets DIN ISO 5749 standard

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose diagonal cutting plier suitable for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and instrumentation trade applications requiring cuts up to 4 millimeters in diameter.

Installation Notes

This tool is not insulated and must not be used on or near energized conductors. Always de-energize and lock out circuits before working in electrical panels or enclosures. Inspect cutting edges before use and do not apply side loads that could chip the hardened edge. Proper personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, should be worn during cutting operations.
