79 42 125 Z ESD Precision Electronics Side Cutters 125mm

The Knipex 79 42 125 Z ESD Precision Electronics Side Cutters are professional-grade cutters designed for delicate electronic work where precision and electrostatic protection are essential. Featuring electrically dissipative ESD handles, these cutters safely discharge static electricity, protecting sensitive electronic components during installation and assembly.

Designed for highly accurate flush cutting in soft materials, these side cutters are ideal for precision tasks, tight tolerance installations, and exact wire end configuration. The cutting edges are extremely sharp and precisely ground, allowing clean and controlled cuts on delicate electronic components without damaging surrounding parts.

Manufactured from high-quality ball bearing steel, the blades are induction hardened to approximately 64 HRC, ensuring exceptional durability and long-term cutting performance. The polished head finish and meticulous manufacturing process provide smooth operation and outstanding reliability.

These cutters are also around 20% lighter than conventional electronics pliers, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. Ergonomically optimised multi-component handles provide excellent grip and comfort, making them ideal for professionals who require accuracy and control in electronics work.

The carefully engineered bolted joint system ensures even, low-friction movement throughout the entire opening range. Combined with a smooth-running double spring, the cutters open gently and consistently without backlash, allowing precise, effortless operation with every cut.

Perfect for electricians, electronics engineers, technicians, and precision assembly professionals, the Knipex 79 Series delivers the reliability and performance expected from one of the world’s leading tool manufacturers.
