Inherently stable also where there is twisting and very strong when cutting
The precision tips made of vanadium electric steel are elastic and stable when twisted. This allows the manual force deployed using these pliers to be well measured, which is a particular benefit with delicate components. The needle nose pliers can also be used for powerful gripping and holding – and for cutting. Thanks to the position of the cutting edges near the joint which is advantageous for the transmission of force, good cutting capacities are achieved. Medium-hard wire can be cut up to Ø 3.2 mm and hard wire up to Ø 2.2 mm.
Components and wire in unfavourable positions can also be reached well
In the control cabinet, on a machine, on an electric motor, when feeding and connecting wire to terminals, in junction boxes, in control cabinet construction: the VDE tested Knipex 26 16 200 is in its element wherever space is tight. The qualities of the snipe nose side cutting pliers from Knipex will be immediately apparent when lines and wires need to be held, fed and cut. The quality chrome plating offers good protection against dirt and corrosion. This corrosion resistance makes special sense when the pliers are kept permanently in the service vehicle, where they may be exposed to condensation caused by temperature changes.
