Knipex 03 06 180 T diagonal tang

The Knipex 03 06 180 T diagonal pliers are a compact, multi-purpose cutting and gripping tool made from special forged tool steel with multi-stage oil hardening. At 180 mm long, these pliers combine long cutting edges and gripping zones that accept both flat and round material, providing precise cuts and secure handling for assorted workshop and electrical tasks.

Advantages

Gripping zones are shaped for reliable holding of flat and round material. Cutting edges are designed for both soft and hard wire and are induction-hardened to approximately 60 HRC for extended cutting life. The long cutting edges allow cutting of thicker cables, while the forged special tool steel construction and multi-stage oil hardening increase durability and toughness.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft and hard wire
• Cutting thicker cables and small conductors
• Gripping and positioning flat or round parts
• Professional electrical and general workshop tasks

How to use

Place the cutting edges around the conductor or material to be cut and apply steady pressure on the handles until the cut is complete.

For best results on thicker cables, position the material along the longer portion of the cutting edge and cut with a single firm motion.

Recommendations

Inspect cutting edges before use and avoid cutting hardened steel beyond the tool’s specification to prevent damage. Keep the pliers clean and lightly lubricated at the pivot; store in a dry place to preserve hardness and prevent corrosion.
