Specifications

The multifunctional tool for electricians

For cutting cable, for wire stripping, deburring, bending, gripping and crimping

Due to their many functions, these universal pliers mean there is no need to constantly change tools. Just one tool is adequate for the most important, recurring work steps in electrical installation. The opening spring supports the user during constantly recurring work steps.

With integrated pawl

The activated pawl holds the cutting edges closed while other functions remain in place. With this intelligent closing mechanism, you can grip without opening the pliers. The cutting edge remains closed and protected.

Versatile tool for professional users

The gripping surfaces of the installation pliers are smooth at the tip, enabling single conductors to be held and positioned without being damaged. There are profiled gripping surfaces and a pipe grip for gripping flat and round material. The induction hardened precision cutting edges produce clean cuts on Cu and Al cables up to Ø 15 mm

The installation pliers are comfortable and safe to use thanks to their insulated, VDE tested multi-component grips – with the right training also on live parts. The chrome-plated surface offers excellent rust protection.

The electrical installation pliers save time, space and weight. At 200 mm long, they fit in any tool bag and with a weight of just 280 g they are light weight – especially compared to a number of individual tools.

Knipex quality and engineering services – Made in Germany

Two aspects are vital to the quality of a tool: the performance and durability. At Knipex, pliers are developed from the point of view of the user, and focus on their direct application. Knipex electrical installation pliers replace several tools. Uses are equally diverse – and last for several years of tough work. We forge our tools from quality materials, machine them with high precision on modern machinery and harden them carefully with multiple stage heat treatment. Every pair of Knipex pliers represents more than 130 years of specialist know-how.

Pronounced outer edge for deburring and widening holes

Universal crimp die for end sleeves (ferrules) from 0.5 to 2.5 mm².

Cable shears for cutting copper cable.

Smooth gripping surface for gripping, flattening and rounding without damage.
