Flush Electronics Diagonal Cutters - Knipex - 115mm

These cutters are ideal for soft to medium-hard wires commonly used in electronics, such as component leads and fine gauge wires. They are not designed for thick cables or hardened steel.

Flush cutting means the tool is designed to cut a wire or component lead as close as possible to the surface it's attached to, leaving minimal protrusion or burr.

Regular cleaning after use and proper storage are key. Avoid cutting materials harder than intended, and if dullness occurs, seek professional sharpening services.

The design is ambidextrous, but the spring-loaded handles and ergonomic grip are optimized for standard right-handed use. However, they can be used effectively by left-handed individuals.

The precision box joint provides a stable, durable connection between the two halves of the cutters. It ensures accurate jaw alignment and smooth operation, contributing to the tool's longevity and performance.

These cutters are specifically designed for cutting, not stripping. Using them for wire stripping can damage the cutting edges and compromise their precision for cutting tasks.

Knipex offers a long-term warranty on their professional tools against manufacturing defects. Specific details can be found on the Knipex official website or warranty documentation.

Ensure the wire is positioned correctly at the base of the jaws. Check for any debris or damage on the cutting edges. If damaged, professional sharpening may be required.

Inspect the box joint for debris or damage. Clean the joint and apply a small amount of light machine oil. If the issue persists, the joint may be damaged and require professional assessment.

Check if the spring is obstructed by debris. Clean the mechanism area. If the spring is bent or broken, it may need replacement by a qualified technician.

Clean the box joint thoroughly and apply a light machine oil. Work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant. Ensure no foreign material is binding the joint.
