KNIPEX 73 06 160 SB X-Cut Side Cutter

The KNIPEX 73 06 160 SB compact diagonal cutter is a versatile and powerful tool, designed to meet the needs of industry, trade and craft professionals.

Technical characteristics

This diagonal cutter is made of high-performance chrome-vanadium steel, hardened several times and chrome-plated for effective corrosive resistance. The box-joint construction ensures maximum stability with low weight.

Design and Construction

The box joint design, with joint axis supported on two sides and side guides for the internal handles, offers maximum stability and reduces the load on the pin. The handles are insulated with multi-component grips, VDE tested up to 10,000V and safe for work up to 1,000V, complying with DIN EN/IEC 60900 standards.

Cutting performance

X-Cut cutters are able to precisely cut thin wires, multi-wire cables and spring steel wires (piano wire). The geometry of the cutting blades and the optimized transmission ratio make it possible to cut with minimum effort:

• Soft copper wires up to a diameter of 4.8 mm
• Medium hardness wires up to a diameter of 3.8 mm
• Hard wires up to 2.7 mm in diameter, such as fence wires and nails
• Spring steel wires (piano wire) up to a diameter of 2.2 mm
• Multi-wire cables up to a diameter of 12 mm

Convenience and Safety

The compact design, with a length of only 160 mm and a weight of 175 g, makes this tool ideal for working in tight spaces. The high power transmission reduces the effort required by 40% compared to standard diagonal cutters of the same length. The insulated handles and the attachment point for the integrated insulated tether ensure a secure and comfortable grip.
