KNIPEX Tools 78 61 125 5-Inch Electronics Super Knips Comfort Grip

I’ve been using the KNIPEX Electronics Super Knips mostly for trimming zip ties, little plastic bits, and fine wires around my desk/setup, and they’re kind of ridiculous in how clean they cut. The blades line up perfectly and give a true flush cut—zip ties disappear instead of leaving that sharp little fang that slices your hand open later. They also slip into tight spots easily; the head is small and the tips are super precise, so it’s easy to get right up against a surface. The handles are way more comfortable than they look. The spring action is light, so you can sit there doing a ton of tiny cuts without your hand getting tired. They feel solid and “premium” in that Knipex way—no slop in the pivot, no flex in the jaws. Couple of caveats: these are delicate precision cutters, not general-purpose wire cutters. They’re perfect for small copper leads, zip ties, and plastic, but I wouldn’t use them on steel wire, thick cable, or anything you’d normally reach for a bigger pair of cutters for—you’ll ding the cutting edge and hate yourself. There’s also no lock to keep them closed in a drawer, so they just kind of sit open unless you store them carefully. If you need a precision cutter for electronics work, cable management, or cleaning up small plastic parts, these are absolutely worth the money. Just treat them like a scalpel, not a bolt cutter.

You get a lot of precision for the price. I'm able to get a very close and clean cut to the solder board.

I love these snips. Very strong and high quality. Knipex makes great stuff.

Great quality and lightweight.

Quality build and great for flush cuts. Use on wax string, lacing string and zip ties with no problem. Maintains sharpness.

Great quality. My favorite cutters from trimming component legs on PCB.

Absolutely the best!! Don’t even hesitate. Just buy them.

Like most KNIPEX products, these are great quality German made mini cutters. The grips are comfortable and the cutting edges are sharp. These are great German made mini cutters and I'm sure they will perform well. The issue is that these things are basically $30 after tax. Tell me why these are the same price as their cobras, or their needle nose pliers? These things are way overpriced for what they are. I highly recommend you go with the Tsunoda mini cutters instead. They are half the price and are high quality Japanese made mini cutters. They are made in Japan, they come in several different styles, which range from comfort grip or dipped, and come in standard, thin blade, or bent (90°). The cutters are sharp and precise as well. You cant really go wrong with either brand and they are both phenomenal mini cutters, but I personally think the Tsunoda cutters are the way to go. For those of you unfamiliar with Tsunoda, they are a Japanese tool company who makes a long list of pliers, cutters, crimpers, and other tools that are mostly made in Japan. I personally have around 2 dozen of their products and they all perform very, very well! They are EXTREMELY affordable and about 95% of their products are made in Japan. Give them a try! You won't be disappointed!!

Excellent qiuality snips. No sharp nose makes it particalarly useful as it wouldn't rip your pockets. The only downside is that it doesn't open wide enough for cutting 1.5mm 3-core flex cable.

Exactly as expected. High quality, precise enough for clean cuts for my needs.

Erste Wahl. Lebensdauer des Vorgängermodells von Knipex etwa 15 Jahre.

Excelente marca y funciona a la perfección.
