KNIPEX 78 23 125 BENT NOSE SUPER-KNIPS: The PCB Professional's Secret Weapon
Need to cut components on crowded circuit boards without damaging nearby parts? The KNIPEX 78 23 125 Bent Nose Super-Knips are your go-to solution. With their unique 60 angled head and surgical-grade steel construction, these precision flush cutters get into spaces other tools simply can't reach.
Why Electronics Pros Choose These Angled Precision Cutters
- Unique 60 angled cutting head gets between tight components on PCBs with ease
- Surgical-grade INOX stainless steel construction resists corrosion in any environment
- Ultra-sharp cutting edges with zero bevel deliver perfect flush cuts every time
- Controlled micro cutting edge misalignment ensures precision cutting and extends tool life
- Cuts wires as fine as 0.2mm diameter without crushing or damaging nearby components
- Butter-smooth action reduces hand fatigue during intricate, repetitive cutting tasks
- Built-in opening spring and limiter make precision work faster and more comfortable
- Cut vertically from above perfect for working between capacitors and resistors
Perfect For:
- Electronics repair technicians: Getting into tight spots on densely packed PCBs
- PCB assembly specialists: Trimming component leads flush to the board
- R&D engineers: Prototype development and modification work
- Audio equipment specialists: Working on compact audio circuits and components
- Medical device technicians: Precision work on sensitive equipment
- Serious electronics hobbyists: Fine soldering projects requiring clean cuts
The Perfect Angle For Impossible Cuts:
Standard flush cutters just can't handle certain jobs like when you need to trim a component lead surrounded by taller parts. That's where the 60 angled head of these Super-Knips makes all the difference. The bent nose design lets you approach crowded PCBs from above, snipping leads precisely flush to the board without risking damage to nearby components. It's like having a surgeon's precision in your toolkit.
German Engineering Meets Real-World Durability:
These aren't disposable tools they're professional-grade KNIPEX quality made in Germany. The INOX stainless steel construction means they won't rust or corrode, even in humid workshop environments. The precisely ground cutting edges (hardness of 54 HRC) stay sharp through thousands of cuts, while the stainless steel rivet provides the perfect balance of smooth movement and controlled precision. The ergonomic multi-component handles give you perfect control when working on sensitive components.
