Small diagonal cutters for plastic and other soft materials

Why do we need special diagonal cutters for plastic?

Regular diagonal cutters have beveled edges that cut the material in a wedge shape. This leaves a wedge-shaped profile on the cut surfaces. However, when separating plastic parts and sprues, it is important to achieve a straight and clean cut surface to minimize finishing work.

Knipex 72 02 125 diagonal cutters are specifically designed for working with plastic and other soft materials. Their surface-ground cutting edges allow for precise and straight cuts without beveled edges.

Suitable for post-casting finishing and model making

Knipex 72 02 125 are the smallest Knipex diagonal cutters for plastic. They are designed for situations where parts need to be mechanically separated from the sprue after removal from the mold. They are also suitable for fine work, such as model making.

Surface-ground cutting edges ensure clean and straight separation, allowing residues to be cut directly from the surface of the part.

Opening lock – convenience for repetitive work steps

The built-in opening lock makes repetitive work steps, such as post-casting finishing of plastic parts, significantly more comfortable for the user. The 125 mm length and 109 g weight make these pliers compact and easy to carry.

Although these miniature pliers fit into any pocket, their durability is comparable to larger pliers from the same product series. Knipex 72 02 125 are forged from vanadium steel and oil-hardened, ensuring a long service life even with intensive use.
