The Knipex 77 82 130 ESD is a precision diagonal cutter engineered for electronics technicians and hobbyists who require extreme accuracy when working with delicate circuit components. Its standout benefit is the combination of an ESD-safe design and high-hardness cutting edges, which protects sensitive electronics while providing a clean, effortless cut. Note that while the tool is exceptionally durable, the mirror-polished finish is best maintained by avoiding heavy-duty wire cutting tasks beyond the intended electronic gauge range.

Yes, it is designed specifically with ESD-safe materials to dissipate charges safely when used in an ESD-protected workspace.
These are designed for fine electronic wire. Cutting steel or hard metals will damage the precision edges.
Wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth. You can use a mild solvent if necessary to remove flux, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
No, the mirror-polished finish is applied specifically to provide rust protection without the risk of flaking associated with chrome plating.
The handles are ESD-safe, but they are not VDE-rated or insulated for high-voltage electrical work.
Ensure no debris or flux residue is lodged in the box joint; clean with a light machine oil and wipe clean.
Check if you have been cutting hardened steel or materials outside the tool's intended gauge range; use only on electronic wire.
Inspect the dual springs for obstruction or misalignment; ensure they are seated correctly in their guide slots.
This tool is ready to use right out of the box with no complex setup required. Because it is an ESD-safe tool, ensure you are working on an appropriate anti-static mat or grounding surface to fully utilize the protective features of the tool's design. To maintain the life of the 77 82 130 ESD, keep the tool clean of flux residue and moisture. Although the mirror finish is corrosion-resistant, a light wipe with a clean, dry cloth after use is recommended. Store in a dry environment to ensure the longevity of the spring mechanism and the cutting edge integrity.
