Knipex 79 12 125 Diagonal Cutting Plier

The Knipex 79 12 125 is a diagonal cutting plier made from tool steel. It has an overall length of 5 in and a jaw width of 7/16 in. The jaws feature a small bevel cut and a round nose profile. A bolted joint and double spring mechanism ensure smooth operation and automatic return.

Two-component blue-grey handles for grip and comfort

The 2-component handles provide a secure grip during repetitive cutting tasks. The pliers are ESD safe, making them suitable for work on static-sensitive electronics. They are not insulated, so they must not be used on live electrical circuits. They also lack a tether point and wire-stripping function.

Small bevel cut jaws for flush wire trimming

The small bevel cut on the jaws allows flush cutting of soft and medium-hard wire. Jaw length measures 25/64 in, giving precise access in confined areas. The tool is not rated for voltage and is non-sparking, so it is not suited for hazardous environments. Buyers needing insulated handles or a wire stripper should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How does the 5 in overall length feel when the pliers are in a real hand?

The 5 in overall length keeps the tool compact for tight panels while still giving enough leverage for clean cuts on small-gauge wire.

What does the bolted joint mean for how the cutting action holds up over time?

The bolted joint maintains precise jaw alignment so the small bevel cut stays consistent even after repeated use on spring wire.

Will the 2-component blue/gray handles fit a standard tool belt pouch?

The slim 2-component handles slide easily into most standard pouches and the double spring returns the jaws without snagging on the pocket lip.
