The Knipex 00 20 18 ESD pliers are a combination of two basic types of electrical-wire cutting pliers -- the alligator jaw and the combination cutter. They are designed for the preparatory cutting of electrical cables, wires, and card-edge connectors. The ergonomically designed handles, coated with an ESD-safe coating that helps protect sensitive electronics, provide a secure grip and offer a cushioned, non-slip grip on all varieties. The robust yet lightweight design of the pliers makes them ideal for repetitive electrical-wire cutting tasks. The special long-lasting edges are designed to perfectly cut both soft and hard wires, and the precision-ground, induction-hardened cutting edges provide a clean, accurate cut. The Knipex 00 20 18 ESD pliers are perfect for professional electricians, hobbyists, and DIYers alike.
