Pliers for gripping, aligning and installation work and for cutting

The snipe nose side cutting pliers from KNIPEX are a tool predominantly for assembly work in poorly accessible areas. Those who use tools professionally every day expect a quality that permits simple and safe work and which lasts for many years of hard use. We manufacture our tools from quality materials, machine them with high precision on modern machinery and harden them carefully with multiple stage heat treatment.

Hardened cutting edges (approx. 61 HRC) for soft, medium hard and hard wire

The forged and oil-hardened snipe nose side cutting pliers from KNIPEX are primarily used for gripping, aligning and installation work. The second function of these pliers lies in powerful cutting – a regularly occurring task during assembly work. Their cutting edges are shaped to produce a bite type cut. The cutting edges of the pliers are additionally induction hardened, so that the KNIPEX 26 11 200 is even suitable for cutting hard wire.

Inherently stable when twisted – particularly strong when cutting

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.

Poorly accessible areas can be reached easily with these pliers

Easily reaches into confined spaces (comfort handle shown; view larger).

Knipex long nose pliers ensure an easy grip in confined spaces. The half-round tapered jaws are longer and narrower to reach where other pliers can't. These snipe nose side cutting pliers (model 26 11 200) feature unique elastic precision tips are stronger and more flexible to withstand twisting and bending without breaking.

With a serrated gripping surface, these pliers provide a secure grip with less slipping, and they feature an integrated side cutter for cutting soft, medium, and hard wire. The cutting edges are induction hardened to approximately 61 HRC and will cut medium hard wire maximum diameter 3.2mm and hard wire with a maximum diameter 2.2mm. They're completed by a non-slip plastic coated grip.

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 life — even 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.
