What wire diameters can this diagonal cutter handle?

You cut soft wire from 0.2 to 1.6 mm and medium-hard wire up to 1.0 mm. It is not designed for hard wire such as piano wire.

What is the purpose of the lead catcher on model 78 13 125?

The catcher holds onto the offcut. This prevents loose wire ends from flying into sensitive electronics or circuit boards.

Does this cutter produce a flush finish?

Yes, the cutting edges are ground without a bevel. You trim component leads and cable ties completely flush without sharp burrs.

Is this plier insulated for live electrical work?

No, this tool is not 1000V-insulated and is not non-sparking. Work only on de-energized circuits and components.

What material is used for this Electronic Super Knips cutter?

The jaws are made from INOX stainless tool steel hardened to 54 HRC. A stainless steel rivet delivers smooth, play-free joint movement.

Pinpoint accuracy for fine mechanics

Practical benefits

Flush cuts without bevel: Precision-ground cutting edges shear soft wire from ø 0.2 mm flush to the surface, leaving tidy leads on electronic boards.
Controlled wire end retention: The built-in lead catcher holds severed wire ends securely so loose metal pieces never drop into sensitive circuitry.
Ergonomic Knipex spring action: Thanks to the smooth opening spring and limiter, you handle repetitive precision cutting across long shifts without hand fatigue.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

The Knipex 78 13 125 Electronic Super Knips diagonal cutter delivers sharp precision for electronics assembly and fine mechanics. Ground cutting edges without a bevel shear soft wire from ø 0.2 mm to 1.6 mm and medium-hard wire up to 1.0 mm completely flush. You trim component leads and cable ties cleanly without sharp protrusions.

An integrated lead catcher holds onto severed ends as you cut. This stops loose metal clippings from falling into sensitive circuitry and causing short circuits.

Crafted from inox stainless tool steel hardened to 54 hrc with a smooth stainless steel rivet joint, this tool withstands demanding use. Multi-component grips and an opening spring with limiter reduce hand fatigue during repetitive work.
