The Knipex 77 32 130 is a high-precision side-cutting plier designed for professionals in electronics and fine mechanical engineering who require reliable, repeatable cuts in tight spaces. Its standout feature is the load-optimized design with a play-free box joint, which offers exceptional control and a smooth feel during repetitive tasks; however, users should note that its specialized design is intended for fine wires rather than heavy-duty industrial gauge materials.

No, these pliers are not insulated and should not be used on live circuits. Always ensure the power is disconnected before working.
The pliers are rated for 1.3 mm medium-hard wire, 0.6 mm hard wire, and 0.3 mm soft wire.
The standard 77 32 130 model is not ESD safe. If you require ESD-rated tools, please look for the ESD-designated variant of this model.
The Knipex 77 32 130 uses a mirror-polished finish instead of a plated finish, which eliminates the risk of chrome flaking.
The spring is designed for long-term use and requires no special maintenance beyond keeping the pivot area clean and lightly lubricated.
Clean the box joint with a degreaser to remove debris and apply a drop of light machine oil to the pivot point.
Inspect the edges under magnification for nicks caused by cutting wire that exceeds the specified hardness rating; if clear of damage, ensure you are using the full length of the jaw correctly.
These pliers are ready to use right out of the box and do not require assembly. To maintain the tool's performance and longevity, keep the joints clean and free of metal debris that can accumulate during cutting. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the box joint to maintain the friction-less movement of the spring mechanism. While the surface is mirror-polished, it remains susceptible to moisture; ensure the tool is kept in a dry environment. If the tool is used in a high-humidity environment, re-apply a thin film of corrosion-inhibiting oil as part of your weekly maintenance routine. Avoid using these pliers for prying or bending heavy steel, as the precision tips are optimized for cutting rather than mechanical leverage.
