The Knipex 77 32 130 ESD is a specialized precision side cutter designed for professionals in electronics, telecommunications, and fine assembly who require ESD-safe tools to protect sensitive components. Its standout feature is its load-optimized, mirror-polished design that delivers clean, sharp cuts with minimal effort; however, users should note that as a 130mm precision tool, it is intended for fine work rather than heavy-duty industrial wire cutting.

It is designed to be ESD-safe, meaning it helps manage charge dissipation in controlled environments, but it should be used as part of a complete anti-static workstation setup.
No, these are precision electronics cutters. Using them on hardened steel wires can chip or damage the 62 HRC cutting edges.
HRC stands for Rockwell C scale. A rating of 62 indicates a very high level of hardness, which keeps the cutting edge sharp for a longer period of time.
Clean the tool with a dry, soft cloth after use and apply a light coating of mineral oil if working in damp environments.
Yes, the handles are designed specifically for use in ESD-sensitive areas, which is indicated by the 'ESD' designation in the model number.
Check if metal debris is trapped in the joint or spring mechanism; clean with compressed air and re-lubricate.
Inspect the cutting edges for nicks; ensure the wire being cut is not beyond the specified hardness limit of the tool.
This tool requires no complex setup; simply remove the protective oil coating before the first use if necessary. To maintain the ESD integrity and cutting performance, keep the tool free of conductive dust and metal shavings. Store the cutters in a dry, clean environment to preserve the mirror-polished finish. While the tool is oil-protected, a light application of machine oil periodically is recommended if the tool is stored in a high-moisture area. Ensure that the cutters are only used on compatible wire gauges to prevent deformation of the 62 HRC hardened edges.
