Ščipalke Knipex 78 13 125 ESD

The Knipex 78 13 125 ESD diagonal pliers are precision cutting tools designed for ultra-fine work in electronics and fine mechanics. Made of stainless steel (INOX) with dissipative, electrically discharging handles, these pliers provide flush cutting with very sharp cutting edges and precision-shaped tips capable of cutting wires resting on a board from 0.2 mm diameter. The tool features a stainless steel rivet joint, an opening spring with opening limiter, and a lead catcher to prevent uncontrolled loss of cut wire ends. Cutting edge hardness is approximately 54 HRC.

Advantages

These diagonal pliers offer extremely smooth movement to reduce operator fatigue, precise flush cutting without bevels, and ESD-safe handles for use in sensitive electronic environments. The stainless steel construction and lead catcher improve durability and safety during fine cutting tasks.

Suitable for

• Ultra-fine cutting work in electronics and fine mechanics
• Cutting wires on printed circuit boards (from 0.2 mm dia.)
• ESD-protected assembly and repair tasks
• Precision trimming where flush cuts are required

How to use

Position the precision-shaped tips around the wire to be cut, ensuring the wire rests on the board if performing PCB trimming. Squeeze the handles gently to achieve a clean, flush cut close to the board. Use the opening spring and limiter for controlled repeated cuts. Avoid cutting hardened wire types beyond the specified capability to prevent damage to the cutting edges.

Recommendations

Use the Knipex 78 13 125 ESD in ESD-protected work areas when handling sensitive electronic components. Keep the cutting edges clean and inspect regularly for wear; sharpen or replace the tool if flush cutting quality deteriorates. Do not use for cutting large or hardened steel wires.
