Knipex Diagonal cutters claw 45° TA7211160

The Knipex 72 11 Diagonal Flush Cutter for Plastics is a precision cutting tool designed for nearly flush cutting of moulded plastic components from sprues. This specialised diagonal cutter features a flush cutting face that delivers clean, close cuts on plastic mouldings, making it ideal for model making, plastic fabrication, and manufacturing applications where components need to be separated cleanly from their injection moulding sprues. The 45° angled blades provide excellent visibility and access to the cutting area whilst maintaining the flush cutting capability. The tool is also suitable for cutting soft materials such as lead in a flush cut, offering versatility for electrical and plumbing applications where soft wire or lead needs to be trimmed precisely. Built with an integrated opening spring, this diagonal cutter reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks and ensures the tool automatically returns to the open position after each cut. The flush cutting design minimises the need for secondary finishing work, saving time and improving productivity for model makers, electricians, and assembly technicians working with plastic components.
