Why special pliers are needed for plastic
The pliers have beveled cutting edges that create a wedge-shaped cut towards the center of the workpiece. As a result, the ends of the wire have a wedge-shaped cut. However, when separating cast parts and castings, the desired smoothness and even cut minimize finishing work to remove burrs. The "Knipex 72 21 160" cuts from the angled cutters do not have a bevel towards the component but are polished on the surface. For this reason, the casting is cut straight along the cast part. The cutting edge runs parallel to the component.
Cutting edges at a 90° angle, designed for removing burrs in hard-to-reach places
Thanks to the cutting surfaces at a 90° angle, the "Knipex 72 21 160" angled cutters are suitable for working perpendicular to the component. This method is necessary when side access is impossible, for example, with angular plastic casting molds or machine components. After molding the plastic parts, they are carefully and evenly separated from the casting mold with polished cutting surfaces. Plastic casting molds are separated; remnants of the casting mold are removed even from hard-to-reach places.
With spring for opening, reducing user strain – compact and stable.
In many cases, the stages of the casting and plastic production processes are repeated. Therefore, users who frequently separate casting molds from cast parts appreciate the opening spring of the 72 21 160, which saves one hand movement with each cutting operation. The "Knipex" plastic pliers were designed for long-term use in the production of plastic castings and in other industries. Made from vanadium electrolytic steel. Their heating and oil hardening give them high strength.
