KNIPEX 4.5 inch (115mm) Electronics Diagonal Cutters

The KNIPEX 4.5 inch (115mm) Electronics Diagonal Cutters are precision-engineered for fine cutting tasks in demanding fields such as electronics and fine mechanics. Their load-optimised design provides a more direct and sensitive feel during use, allowing for superior control and accuracy.

At the heart of these cutters is a sturdy, zero-backlash box joint, which ensures exceptional stability and durability, eliminating unwanted movement during cuts. A low-friction double spring facilitates gentle and even opening of the jaws, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive work. The high-quality finish, described as a mirror polish, is combined with a fine protective oil film to offer effective rust protection. This is a critical feature for electronic work, as it prevents potential circuit faults that could be caused by peeling chrome from inferior plated tools.

For optimal cutting performance, the cutters are additionally laser hardened, achieving a cutter hardness of at least 62 HRC, ensuring they stay sharp and resist wear. The slim, high sleeves are pulled right up to the head, enabling the tool to be guided securely and comfortably, even when held delicately between the thumb and index finger for intricate work. The round head design includes a small bevel for precise access in tight spaces.
