What is the Knipex 79 02 120 ESD used for?

This diagonal cutter is designed for ultra-fine cutting work on delicate electronic components and fine mechanics.

Does this tool protect against electrostatic discharge?

Yes, the multi-component handles are dissipative (ESD) and discharge electrostatic energy in a controlled manner.

Do the cutting edges feature a bevel?

Yes, this model features a mini-head with a very small bevel to ensure long cutting edge life.

Is this tool non-sparking?

No, this plier is not non-sparking.

Accurate cutting on delicate electronic assemblies

Practical benefits

Controlled ESD electrostatic discharge protection: You protect sensitive components from electrical damage by safely dissipating electrostatic energy through the dissipative handles.
Precision Knipex induction hardened edges: You achieve clean cuts through soft and hard wire using precision-ground cutting edges with a mini-bevel.
Smooth low-friction spring action: The bolted joint combined with a dual spring delivers an effortless, balanced opening motion during repetitive work.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Knipex 79 02 120 esd precision electronics diagonal cutter, you maintain complete control when working on delicate circuit boards and assemblies. The dissipative multi-component handles safely discharge electrostatic energy in a controlled manner, protecting sensitive electronic components from esd damage. Thanks to induction-hardened cutting edges with a mini-bevel, you easily make clean cuts through soft wire from 0.2 to 1.4 mm, medium-hard wire up to 1.0 mm, and hard wire up to 0.6 mm. The bolted joint combined with a dual spring delivers a smooth, low-friction opening motion during repetitive micro-cutting tasks. At a compact length of 120 mm with a burnished finish, this tool delivers the precision required for fine mechanics and electronics.
