Pliers for gripping and holding – and for cutting

The forged and oil-hardened snipe nose side cutting pliers from Knipex are primarily used for gripping, aligning and installation work. In addition to the typical tasks for needle nose pliers, they can also be used for cutting. Their cutting edges are shaped to produce a bite type cut. They have also been induction hardened so that the Knipex 26 25 200 can be used to cut hard wire.

Particularly strong when cutting - inherently stable also when twisted

The precision tips made of vanadium electric steel are elastic and stable when twisted. This allows the manual force deployed to be well measured – forcefully where necessary. The cutting edges are near the joint which is advantageous for the transmission of force. Cutting capacities of up to Ø 3.2 mm for medium-hard wire and up to Ø 2.2 mm for hard wire are achieved.

Poorly accessible areas can be reached well using the pliers

The round nose pliers from Knipex have very long tips, enabling the user to grip low-lying, difficult to reach components accurately and powerfully. The benefits of these snipe nose side cutting pliers will be appreciated as soon as you need to attach a hose onto a difficult to reach nozzle, e.g. a refrigerant pipe to the air conditioning evaporator.
