Diagonaal-zijkniptang Knipex 74 01 200

The Knipex 74 01 200 diagonal pliers are designed for heavy-duty, continuous use and deliver high cutting performance with minimal effort. Made from forged chrome vanadium steel and oil-hardened for durability, these pliers have precision cutting edges that are induction hardened to approximately 64 HRC, enabling clean cuts of various wires including piano wire. The 200 mm length and lightweight construction provide good handling for precision tasks.

Advantages

Optimised coordination of the cutting-edge angle and transmission ratio reduces the force required to cut, while induction-hardened cutting edges increase wear resistance and maintain sharpness. The forged, oil-hardened chrome vanadium steel construction ensures robustness and long service life under continuous use. Plastic handles improve grip and operator comfort during repetitive work.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical and installation wires
• Trimming small metal parts and pins
• Workshops, professional trade and maintenance tasks
• Cutting hard wires such as piano wire

How to use

Position the diagonal pliers so the wire rests close to the cutting edge to ensure a clean cut. Apply steady pressure to the handles until the material is severed; the optimised cutting-edge angle and transmission ratio reduce the required force. For best results with hard wires such as piano wire, use the centre of the cutting edge and avoid cutting materials beyond the pliers' intended capacity.

Recommendations

Inspect cutting edges regularly and avoid cutting hardened steel beyond the specified capability to prevent premature wear. Keep the tool clean and lightly lubricated after use; store in a dry place to maintain the oil-hardened steel and plastic handles.
