Knipex 7002180 Diagonal Cutter 180mm

Knipex 70 02 180 All-Purpose Diagonal Cutter (180 mm)

Flawless Cutting with German Engineering: Power and Precision Combined!

Developed by Knipex, the world leader in plier and hand tool technology, the Knipex 70 02 180 Diagonal Cutter delivers superior cutting performance for both precise assembly work and demanding industrial applications. Optimized for versatile use, this 180 mm diagonal cutter allows you to achieve very clean cuts with minimal effort, thanks to its high-quality material construction and ergonomic handle design. This 180 mm model offers greater leverage and cutting capacity compared to the 160 mm models due to its longer body.

Areas of Use

Thanks to its multi-purpose and robust design, it has a wide range of applications from electrical-electronics to mechanical assembly:

Electrical and Installation Work: For cutting and stripping all types of conductors, from thin copper wires to thick electrical cables, with zero errors.

Industrial Production and Workshops: For repetitive, high-volume cutting operations in factories, assembly lines, and automotive service centers.

Construction Sites and Hard Wire Cutting: For effortless cutting of nails, rivets, and hard steel wires (excluding piano wire).

General Maintenance and Repair: Safely used in general renovation processes in homes, offices, or industrial facilities.

Material and Manufacturing Features

Vanadium Electric Steel: The main body of the product is forged from special vanadium electric steel, heat-treated and oil-hardened. This provides extreme resistance against breakage and bending.

Induction Hardened Cutting Edges: The cutting edges are additionally induction hardened for long-lasting sharpness (approx. 62 HRC). This prevents nicks or dulling of the edges even when cutting hard wires.

Multi-component Ergonomic Handles: The thickened, two-color, multi-component coated handle prevents hand slippage and prevents irritation of the palm during prolonged use.

Detailed Product Features

Clean and Smooth Cut: Thanks to the precise alignment of the cutting edges, a clean cut is achieved even at the very tip of the wire. It cuts thin copper wires as smoothly as scissors.

High Leverage: The 180 mm long handle structure transmits the force applied by the hand to the cutting edge at maximum level during application, making it easier to cut thick wires.

Long-lasting Joint Structure: The robust, riveted joint design, which does not loosen even under intense force, transmits power directly to the tip during cutting and reduces user fatigue.

Usage Recommendation: To maintain the sharpness and original working performance of your diagonal cutter, do not use it to cut extra hard steel ropes or hardened screws beyond the limits specified in the capacity table. Dropping a drop of thin machine oil at the joint point periodically will ensure the mechanism always remains smooth.
