Tronchese Knipex KP-7742115ESD

The Knipex KP-7742115ESD diagonal pliers are compact precision cutters designed for safe handling and cutting of small wires and electronic components. With a jaw width of 1.1 cm and a jaw length of 1.4 cm, these pliers combine a small overall size (71 mm × 115 mm × 48 mm) with ESD-safe construction to reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge when working on sensitive circuitry. The tool's cutting edges and ergonomically shaped handles provide controlled force transfer for accurate, repeatable cuts in tight spaces.

Advantages

These diagonal pliers offer ESD protection suitable for electronics assembly and repair, a compact size that improves access in confined areas, and precise cutting geometry for clean shears of fine wires and component leads. The tool's durable construction ensures consistent performance and a reliable grip during detailed manual tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting enamelled and insulated small-gauge wires
• Trimming component leads on printed circuit boards
• Precision electronics assembly and repair
• Work in confined or congested assemblies

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 1.1 cm
• Jaw length: 1.4 cm
• Overall dimensions: 71 mm (width) × 115 mm (length) × 48 mm (height)
• ESD-safe design for electrostatic-sensitive components
• Compact diagonal cutting pliers geometry for precision cuts

How to use

Position the conductor or component lead between the cutting edges as close to the joint as practical for a clean cut. Apply steady pressure on the handles while keeping the pliers perpendicular to the workpiece to avoid twisting. For repeated operations, maintain a consistent hand position to ensure accuracy. Use the compact form of the pliers to reach areas where larger tools cannot access.

Recommendations

Use the Knipex diagonal pliers only on wire and component materials within their intended capacity. Avoid cutting hardened or unstated materials that may damage the cutting edges. Store in a dry place and inspect cutting edges regularly; resharpen or replace the tool when performance degrades. When working with electronic assemblies, follow standard ESD precautions (grounding, ESD-safe workspace) in combination with the tool's ESD properties.
