Knipex 125mm Knips Electronic for Optical Fibre
Knipex 125mm Electronic Super Knips, precision-ground for ultra-fine cutting work in electronics, fine mechanics, and fibre optic cable preparation. The Super Knips format is built around a shear-cutting action with controlled micro cutting edge misalignment - a geometry that produces a clean, precise cut on wires from 0.2mm diameter and fibre optic cable without the crushing or fraying that a conventional bevel-edged cutter causes on delicate materials. Cutting edges induction-hardened to 64 HRC, precision-shaped tips that reach wires resting flat on a PCB, and an opening spring with limiter that keeps the tool ready and controlled between cuts. This is the standard non-ESD version - buyers requiring electrostatic discharge protection should note the 7861125ESD variant.

Knipex 125mm Knips Electronic for Optical Fibre
- Shear cut with controlled micro cutting edge misalignment — The cutting geometry is the defining technical feature of the Super Knips — rather than a conventional bevel-edged cut that crushes and compresses the material as it severs, the shear action with micro misalignment produces a clean, precise cut with minimal stress on the surrounding material; on fibre optic cable where a crushed or fractured end face causes signal loss, and on fine component leads where a clean cut is essential for reliable soldering, this cutting geometry is what makes the difference
- Cuts fibre optic cable cleanly — The precision tip geometry and shear cutting action make the 7861125 suitable for cutting fibre optic cables where end face quality is critical; conventional cutters crush the fibre cross-section and introduce stress fractures that degrade optical performance — the Super Knips shear action avoids both, producing a clean end face that requires minimal or no further preparation
- Precision-shaped tips cut wires resting on a board from 0.2mm — The tip geometry is ground to reach component leads and fine wires right down to board level from 0.2mm diameter, making this the tool for trimming component leads flush after soldering without the risk of damaging adjacent components or the board surface that a bulkier cutter would present
- Induction-hardened cutting edges at 64 HRC — The cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 64 HRC — a harder specification than the standard Knipex pliers range — matched to the precision and longevity demands of fine electronics cutting work where repeated cutting of hard component leads and fine wire quickly degrades a softer edge
- Opening spring and opening limiter for controlled operation — The integrated opening spring keeps the tool ready between cuts without operator effort, and the opening limiter prevents the jaws from opening wider than needed; in fine electronics work where control and repeatability are as important as the cut quality, these features reduce fatigue and maintain consistency across high-volume cutting sessions
- Standard non-ESD multi-component handles — The handles are multi-component for comfort and grip but are not electrically dissipative; buyers working in ESD-sensitive environments with electrostatic discharge risk to components should specify the 7861125ESD variant with dissipative handles tested to IEC TR 61340-5
