Product Information

Full details

The Knipex 64 52 115 Electronics End Cutting Nippers are designed for professionals and hobbyists who require high-precision, flush-cutting capability in electronics and fine mechanics. These 115mm pliers provide exceptional control through a zero-backlash box joint and induction-hardened cutting edges, making them ideal for delicate wiring tasks. However, users should note that these are precision instruments, not intended for heavy-duty wire stripping or cutting thick, hard materials.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these be used to cut piano wire?

No, these are precision electronics nippers and should only be used for soft wires such as copper or thin solder leads.

Does the finish flake off over time?

Unlike chrome-plated tools, the mirror-polished finish will not flake or peel, making it safe for delicate circuits.

Are these pliers ESD safe?

This specific model is not rated ESD-safe. If you require ESD-compliant tools, check for Knipex models with the 'ESD' designation.

How long are these pliers?

These pliers measure 115 mm in length.

What is the hardness of the cutting edges?

The cutting edges are induction-hardened to at least 56 HRC.

Why is there oil on the tool when I open the package?

A fine film of oil is intentionally applied to the head to provide superior rust protection during storage.

Troubleshooting

Pliers feel stiff when opening

Apply a drop of light machine oil to the box joint and work the handles back and forth several times.

Cutting edges appear dull

Inspect for burrs or debris; clean with a soft brush and avoid cutting materials beyond the rated capacity.

Signs of surface oxidation

Gently clean the surface with a fine abrasive pad and immediately re-apply a thin coating of protective oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-precision flush cutting for delicate electronics
  • Sturdy construction with zero-backlash joint
  • Rust-resistant finish without risk of peeling chrome
  • Excellent ergonomics provided by the low-friction spring

Cons

  • Not suitable for cutting heavy-gauge wires
  • Requires regular maintenance (oiling) to prevent rust
  • Short handles may feel small for users with larger hands

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These nippers are ready to use out of the box. To maintain the integrity of the special tool steel:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the cutting edges with a clean, lint-free cloth after each use to remove copper or solder residue.
  2. Lubrication: Regularly apply a very fine film of machine oil to the box joint and the head to maintain smooth operation and rust protection.
  3. Storage: Keep in a dry tool pouch. Avoid contact with acidic chemicals or moisture, as the tool is not chemically resistant.
  4. Handling: Avoid cutting steel or hardened wire, as this can dull the fine induction-hardened edges prematurely.
