Requiring 35 percent less effort than with conventional combination pliers, these Knipex combination pliers (model 02 01 225) make your work go more quickly and easily thanks to their high-leverage design. With a long cutting edge with a hardness of 63 HRC (approximate), it's ideal for soft, hard, piano and ACSR wire plus it can handle thicker cables. It also features gripping zones for flat and round material and heavy duty plastic-coated handle grips.
Quality in Every Detail
Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look.
The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service lifeeven though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.
The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied users are worth this effort.
Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.
