Knipex 76 81 125 5" Diagonal Cutting Plier

5-inch diagonal cutters for electromechanics

These Knipex 76 81 125 pliers are precision diagonal cutters built for electromechanical work. The 125 mm overall length and tapered oval head allow access to tight component spacing. Black atramentized steel resists corrosion while the standard cushion grips provide everyday comfort during repetitive cutting tasks.

Suited for fine wire and small-gauge work

They cleanly cut wire up to .031 in diameter and handle hard steel up to 1/32 in, making them ideal for electronics assembly and harness work. The small bevel and zero-degree head offset give a flush cut in confined areas. Buyers needing insulated handles for live circuits, ESD-safe ratings, non-sparking materials or tether points should look elsewhere.

Capacity heads-up for bench use

The 7/8 in jaw length and 5/8 in jaw width accommodate typical component leads and hook-up wire with room to spare. Maximum cutting diameter of .031 in sets a firm ceiling — thicker power conductors or cable bundles will require a larger cutter. The manual joint has no spring assist, so high-volume users may prefer a spring-loaded model for reduced hand fatigue.
