Pliers for gripping and holding – and for powerful cutting

The forged and oil-hardened snipe nose side cutting pliers from Knipex are primarily used for installation and assembly work and for the alignment of components. In addition to the typical tasks for needle nose pliers, they can also be used for powerful cutting. Their cutting edges are shaped to produce a bite type cut – and they have been induction hardened, so that the Knipex 26 22 200 can even be used to cut hard wire.

Strong when cutting – inherently stable also when twisted

The precision tips at a 40° angle 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 position of the cutting edges near the joint 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 (hard wire) are achieved.

Poorly accessible areas can be reached easily with these pliers

The round nose pliers from Knipex have very long tips that are also angled at the front. This enables the user to grip low-lying, difficult to reach components accurately and powerfully using these pliers. The benefits of these snipe nose side cutting pliers will be appreciated as soon as you have mastered your first challenge with these pliers from Knipex – such as attaching a hose onto a difficult to reach nozzle.
