Alicate de corte diagonal Knipex 74 06 180

The Knipex 74 06 180 diagonal pliers are precision cutting tools forged from chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel and oil-hardened for long service life. They feature an integrated forged axle for maximum durability and are designed to cut all types of wire, including piano wire. The handles are plastic-coated for secure handling during repetitive or prolonged tasks.

Advantages

High cutting performance is achieved with minimal effort thanks to the optimized coordination of the cutting edge angle and the transmission ratio. The cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 64 HRC for durable sharpness and clean cuts. The forged construction and robust axle increase strength and reliability under heavy-duty use.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft and hard wire
• Cutting piano wire and spring wire
• Electrical and mechanical assembly tasks
• Maintenance and repair work requiring precise diagonal cuts

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the wire near the desired cut point, apply steady pressure on the handles until the wire is severed. For optimum results with hard or piano wire, place the wire as close as possible to the pivot to take advantage of the transmission ratio and avoid twisting. Keep fingers away from the cutting edges and use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting under tension.

Recommendations

The tool is intended for cutting wire only; do not use it to cut hardened bolts, nails or as a substitute for pliers under levering forces. Regularly clean and lightly oil the joint to maintain smooth operation and check cutting edges for wear—regrind or replace if necessary to preserve safe and effective cutting performance.
