Precise wire cutting with Knipex

Practical benefits

Clean and flush cutting: Ground cutting edges without bevel let you cut the finest wires and cable ties flush against surfaces with pinpoint accuracy.
Safe protection from electrostatic discharge: The dissipative handles discharge electrostatic energy in a controlled manner, preventing damage to your sensitive electronic components during assembly.
Smooth handling for reduced fatigue: An integrated opening spring and opening limiter ensure smooth operation, allowing you to complete repetitive precision cuts with minimal hand strain.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Knipex 78 03 140 esd Electronic Super Knips XL, you tackle ultra-fine cutting tasks with total control. The precision-ground cutting edges without bevel deliver true flush cuts on fine wires and cable ties without leaving sharp edges. It reliably cuts soft wire from 0.2 to 2.1 mm and medium-hard wire up to 1.2 mm. Designed for sensitive electronic environments, the dissipative esd multi-component handles safely discharge electrostatic energy to protect valuable components. The smooth opening spring and integrated opening limiter minimize hand fatigue, keeping you fast and accurate during repetitive precision assembly.
