Diagonal cutters for plastic and other soft materials

Why do we need special diagonal cutters for plastic?

The cutting edges of classic diagonal cutters are designed to create a wedge-shaped cut that spreads the material being cut from the center. This is suitable for cutting wires, but for plastic, where a straight and smooth cutting surface is needed, this would be undesirable.

Knipex 72 01 180 diagonal cutters are specifically designed for plastic and other soft materials. Their surface-ground cutting edges allow clean and straight cuts, without bevelled edges, making them ideal for removing sprues and residues from moulded parts.

Suitable for post-casting finishing

Knipex 72 01 180 is used in the plastic industry for mechanically separating larger cast plastic parts from the sprue after removal from the mould. Surface-ground cutting edges allow clean and straight removal of residues directly from the part surface, as the cutting edges run parallel to the part.

Compact and durable – opening lock for ease of use

In the plastic industry and other manufacturing processes, the same work steps are often repeated. The opening lock makes the use of Knipex 72 01 180 pliers significantly easier, reducing the strain on the user's hands.

The 180 mm long and 193 g pliers are ideal for industrial workplaces and are designed for intensive and long-term use. They are forged from vanadium steel, which is given strength through heat treatment and oil quenching.
