What is the Knipex 78 71 125 ESD used for?

It is designed for ultra-fine cutting work in electronics and fine mechanics, such as flush cutting wire ends and zip ties.

How does the ESD protection work on this tool?

The multi-component grips discharge electrostatic energy in a controlled and dissipative manner to protect sensitive electronic components.

What is the benefit of the integrated lead catcher?

The wire clamp holds cut wire ends securely, preventing offcuts from springing uncontrolled into circuits or enclosures.

What is the cutting capacity of this side cutter?

It cuts soft wire from 0.2 to 1.6 mm in diameter and medium-hard wire up to 1.2 mm in diameter.

Does this cutter produce flush cuts?

Yes, the ground, very sharp cutting edges without a bevel deliver perfectly clean, flush cuts.
