Description

The KNIPEX 180MM Diagonal Cutters (70 02 180) extend the standard 70 02 series to 180mm, providing additional mechanical advantage and jaw capacity for cutting larger conductors, heavier cable ties, and medium-hard wire that the smaller 160mm version may struggle with. The 180mm format is particularly suited for main cable installation work and situations where cutting larger cross-section cables is part of the daily workflow.
The induction-hardened cutting edges at 63 HRC maintain their sharpness over an extended service life, and the special tool steel construction provides the structural integrity required for cutting medium-hard materials without jaw damage. KNIPEXTEND comfort handles with tether interface points provide ergonomic and safety advantages.
The step up from 160mm to 180mm delivers a meaningful improvement in cutting capability for medium-hard wire and larger conductors, making the 70 02 180 the preferred size for site electricians who regularly cut main distribution cables and larger control conductors.
