Diagonal cutting nippers 45° 160mm

KNIPEX 72 11 160 are professional 160 mm plastic cutting pliers with 45° angled cutting edges, designed for precise cutting of plastic components and other soft materials.

The special bevel-free cutting edges allow plastic moulded parts to be cut almost flush with the surface, leaving minimal material residue. This makes the tool particularly useful for removing plastic sprues, trimming moulded components and performing precision assembly work.

The 45° angled cutting head provides easier access to large, angular or complex-shaped plastic components.

An integrated opening spring automatically reopens the handles after each cut, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive work.

The pliers are manufactured from forged vanadium electric steel, oil-hardened for strength and durability. The handles feature a non-slip plastic coating for comfortable and secure handling.

Flush Cutting Edges

The special bevel-free cutting edges allow cutting close to the surface of plastic components.

This design is particularly useful for:

• separating moulded plastic parts from sprues;

• removing injection moulding residues;

• trimming plastic component edges;

• precision plastic assembly;

• cutting soft materials such as lead.

The flush-cut design helps reduce the need for additional finishing after cutting.

45° Angled Cutting Head

The 45° angled cutting head improves access to areas where straight cutting pliers are difficult to position.

It is especially useful when working with:

• large plastic components;

• angular parts;

• complex moulded shapes;

• difficult-to-reach sprue connections.

Integrated Opening Spring

The opening spring automatically reopens the handles after each cut, helping reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cutting operations.

This feature makes the tool suitable for workshop, production and assembly applications.

Durable Construction

The pliers are manufactured from forged, oil-hardened vanadium electric steel.

The durable construction provides strength and wear resistance when used for their intended applications.

The non-slip plastic-coated handles provide comfortable and stable handling.

Important Information

KNIPEX 72 11 160 pliers are intended for plastic and soft materials. They are not general-purpose metal wire cutters.

Do not use them to cut hardened steel wire or other hard materials that may damage the precision cutting edges.

The plastic handle coating does not establish electrical insulation certification. These pliers should not be used on live electrical circuits.
