Knipex Electronics End Cutting Nipper, 6412115, 115MM

This Knipex end cutting nippers have a smooth operating box joint with zero backlash. Box joints are characterised by the fact that the inner handle is guided on both sides by two extensive bearing surfaces in the outer handle. This prevents the tilting movements which are typical with lap joints, and has a positive effect on the quality of cutting processes and tool life. The handles are conductive and not insulating and therefore permit a slow, safe charge equalisation. Instead of chrome-plating, the Knipex 64 12 115 ESD end cutting nippers have a mirror polish and a fine oil film as corrosion protection. The pliers therefore have adequate corrosion protection during workshop use; it is sufficient for the oil film to be replaced occasionally. There is no chrome-plating, therefore no pieces of chrome can peel off and fall onto printed circuit boards. In tight spaces, e.g. on printed circuit boards, cutting is often best done from above. The Knipex 64 12 115 ESD electronics end cutting nippers are ideal here. Unlike with diagonal cutters, where the cutting edges are a relatively straight extension of the handle, the cutting edges on end cutting nippers are at right angles to the handles.
