KNIPEX 13 96 200 VDE Pliers for Electrical Installation – 200mm with Opening Spring & Lock

The KNIPEX 13 96 200 VDE Pliers for Electrical Installation are designed for electricians, HVAC technicians, refrigeration technicians and maintenance professionals who need one insulated tool for multiple electrical installation tasks. With a 200mm body, chrome-plated finish, VDE-tested insulated multi-component grips, opening spring and intelligent locking mechanism, these multifunction pliers are built for professional electrical work, panel work and service applications.

Combining six core functions in one tool, the KNIPEX 13 96 200 can grip, bend, deburr, cut cable, strip conductors and crimp wire ferrules. This helps reduce tool changes during common installation tasks and makes the pliers ideal for switchboards, junction boxes, control panels, service vehicles and maintenance tool kits.

The integrated opening spring supports repetitive work, while the latching mechanism keeps the cutting edges closed and protected when using the gripping functions. Smooth gripping surfaces near the tips allow single conductors to be held without damage, while serrated gripping areas and a pipe grip provide secure control on flat and round material.
