Alicate de corte diagonal Knipex 26 16 200 T

The Knipex 26 16 200 T side-cutting pliers are precision cutting tools designed for controlled, clean cuts in electrical and mechanical work. With a total length of 200 mm, a jaw length of 73 mm and a jaw width of 18 mm, these pliers provide a compact balance of reach and maneuverability. Constructed to withstand regular use, the tool combines a slim profile with robust cutting edges to handle soft and medium-hard materials where precise side cuts are required.

Advantages

These side-cutting pliers deliver accurate, low-deformation cuts thanks to sharp, hardened cutting edges and precise jaw alignment. The compact overall length and moderate height enable access in confined spaces while maintaining good leverage. Durable construction and tight tolerances reduce wear and maintain cutting performance over time. The tool’s dimensions and geometry are optimized for tasks that demand precise, repeatable side cutting.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and uninsulated wires in electrical installations
• Trimming cable ties and small plastic components
• Precision cutting in mechanical assembly and maintenance
• Electronics work requiring controlled, close-to-board cuts

Key specifications

• Total length: 200 mm
• Jaw length: 73 mm
• Jaw width: 18 mm
• Height: 28 mm
• Tool type: Side-cutting pliers

How to use

Position the wire or material between the cutting edges near the pivot for maximum leverage and clean cuts. Apply steady pressure on the handles while keeping the tool perpendicular to the workpiece to reduce deformation. For electronic boards or delicate components, support the workpiece to prevent movement and avoid cutting too close to sensitive contacts. After cutting, inspect the cut surface and, if necessary, deburr or trim remaining material with suitable finishing tools.

Recommendations

Use the pliers only within their intended capacity: avoid cutting hardened steel, piano wire, or other materials beyond the tool’s design to prevent damage to the cutting edges. Store the pliers dry and clean, and periodically check alignment and edge condition. For electrical work, follow applicable safety practices and de-energize circuits before cutting live conductors.
