KNIPEX PRECISION SIDE CUTTER

The KNIPEX 79 52 125 ESD Precision Electronics Side Cutter is a high-precision tool specifically designed for ultra-fine cutting tasks in sensitive electronic and fine mechanical applications. This ESD-safe cutter features electrically dissipative handles to protect components from electrostatic discharge, making it ideal for ESD-sensitive environments. With its sharp, precision-ground cutting edges and lead catcher, it provides exceptionally clean and controlled cuts on delicate wires and component leads, ensuring both accuracy and safety in electronics assembly and repair.

Key Features:
*ESD-Safe: Multi-component handles are electrically dissipative, providing protection for electrostatic-sensitive components in accordance with DIN EN 61 340-5.
*Precision Cutting: Very finely ground cutting edges with small bevels offer exact, clean cuts; ideal for delicate electronic components.
*Induction-Hardened Blades: Cutting edge hardness of approximately 64 HRC ensures excellent durability and long service life.
*Lightweight Design: Around 20% lighter than conventional electronics pliers for enhanced ergonomics and reduced operator fatigue.
*Bolted Joint Mechanism: Precision-machined joint ensures low-friction, even movement across the full opening range.
*Smooth Double Spring: Enables gentle, consistent tool opening for precise control.
*Ergonomic Grip: Multi-component handles offer maximum comfort and grip security during prolonged use.
*Pointed Head with Lead Catcher: Ideal for confined spaces and includes a lead catcher to prevent loss of cut wire ends.
