Knipex 7002180 Diagonal Cutter Pliers 7 Inches Oal

Product Description

The KNIPEX 7002180 is a diagonal cutter plier designed for cutting wire, cable, and fasteners in tight or demanding work environments. Built with a steel body and an oval head profile, it delivers bevel-style diagonal cuts with precision and consistent edge geometry. The tool measures 7 inches overall length and provides a jaw length and width of 1 inch each. The ergo two-component handle reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks, making it a practical choice for electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers who rely on hand tools throughout the workday. Maximum cutting capacity reaches 4 mm in soft to medium-hard wire.

This cutter is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where controlled, clean diagonal cuts are required. Typical use cases include trimming wire leads in electrical panels, cutting cable ties in HVAC equipment, and clipping soft rod or wire stock during plumbing and mechanical installations. The oval head geometry allows access to confined spaces where a full-size cutter would not fit. The 7-inch overall length balances leverage and control for one-handed operation in both bench and field conditions.

Installation Notes

Diagonal cutters are installed or used by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers as part of standard hand-tool kits. Always de-energize circuits and verify the absence of voltage before cutting any electrical conductor. Wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses when cutting wire or rod, as cut ends can become projectiles. Inspect cutting edges before each use and retire the tool if the blades are chipped, deformed, or no longer making clean cuts.
