Knipex 78 13 125 electronic plier with lead catcher

Knipex 78 13 125 electronic plier

The Knipex 78 13 125 electronic plier is a precision hand tool built for fine wire work. Its ground cutting edges are very sharp and lack a bevel, allowing flush cuts on small conductors. A built-in lead catcher holds clipped wire ends to keep the work area clean. The tool is made from HAWA material for durability.

Electronics assemblers

Technicians who regularly trim component leads on circuit boards will benefit from the sharp, bevel-free jaws and the catcher that prevents stray clippings. Users who need heavy-duty cutting capacity for thick cables or structural wire should look at larger combination pliers instead. The compact 125 mm length limits leverage for tough materials.

Fine wire cutting with lead retention

The plier comfortably handles small-gauge wire and component leads typical in electronic assembly, delivering clean flush cuts without crushing. The integrated catcher manages the debris from repeated snips. It runs out of capacity on heavier gauge wire or when high cutting force is required beyond the jaw design.
