KNIPEX 140mm Chain Nose Side Cutting Pliers

The KNIPEX 140mm Chain Nose Side Cutting Pliers are precision-engineered tools designed for detailed gripping and cutting tasks. Featuring long, tapered, half-round jaws, they provide exceptional access to confined spaces, while the knurled gripping surfaces ensure a secure hold on components.

Constructed from vanadium electric steel and forged for superior strength, these pliers undergo a multi-stage oil-hardening process for enhanced durability. The induction-hardened cutting edges boast an impressive hardness of approximately 61 HRC, enabling them to cleanly cut soft, medium-hard, and hard wire. Specifically, they are suitable for cutting 1.6mm diameter medium wire and 2.5mm diameter soft wire.

User comfort is a priority, with a two-colour, two-component comfort grip handle that reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use. The flat, round jaws are also induction hardened for long-lasting performance and precision. Manufactured to the stringent DIN ISO 5745 standard, these pliers represent professional-grade quality and reliability for electrical work, jewellery making, model building, and fine mechanical repairs.

With a compact overall length of 140mm, they are perfectly balanced for control in intricate work, making them an indispensable tool for technicians, electricians, and hobbyists who demand accuracy and robustness from their hand tools.
