The KNIPEX 4-1/2 in. ESD Electronic Diagonal Cutters are best used for fine cutting work, e.g. in electronics and fine mechanics. The electrostatic energy is discharged through the handles in a gradual and controlled manner. The cutter has round head with a small bevel cut. The cutters are very sturdy with a zero-backlash box joint. The low-friction double spring provides gentle and even opening. The polish or mirror polish together with a fine film of oil offer effective rust protection no circuit faults caused by peeling chrome from plated tools. The cutting edges are additionally induction hardened cutting edge hardness approximately 62 HRC. The multi-component handles add comfort and ease of use. Made of high-grade special tool steel forged, oil-hardened.
