Hand tools manufacturer KNIPEX has launched a limited edition version of its diagonal cutter, aimed at electricians, installers, maintenance engineers, and other tradespeople working across the construction and building services sectors.
The ‘We Forge Winners’ edition is available for a limited period and features comfort handles in white, blue, green, and red colourways, alongside exclusive packaging.
Based on the KNIPEX 70 02 160 diagonal cutter, the 160mm tool is designed for cutting soft, medium-hard, and hard wire across a range of installation and maintenance applications.
The cutter features induction-hardened precision cutting edges and is rated for cutting soft wire up to 4mm in diameter, medium-hard wire up to 3mm, and hard wire up to 2mm.
Built for site and installation work
The tool is manufactured from forged vanadium electric steel and undergoes a multi-stage oil-hardening process intended to improve durability in demanding working environments.
According to KNIPEX, the cutting edges are additionally induction hardened to approximately 61 HRC to help maintain cutting performance over extended use.
The diagonal cutter also features a slim head design for improved access in confined spaces often encountered during electrical and mechanical installation work.
Three-component ergonomic comfort handles are included to improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.
The model incorporates two universal KNIPEXtend interfaces, allowing users to add tethering points for working at height or attach ColourCode clips for tool identification and organisation.
