Gripping, without opening the pliers completely (intelligent latching mechanism in the spring assisted version). The cutting edge remains closed and protected A pair of combination pliers is a classic tool - and hardly any aspect is as important when purchasing as the question: “Do the pliers lie comfortably in your hand?” Those with smaller palms and fingers are well advised to use pliers in the shorter range of the common 160 to 220 millimeter pliers length. Large hands, on the other hand, should grab the models of 220 millimeters. What may seem "unwieldy" to some is "just right" for others. 3. The question of cutting edge hardness There are two different types of insulation for tools at KNIPEX: the one-component handle sleeve and the multi-component sleeve. Robust and temperature-resistant. These are minimum requirements for high-quality combination and multi-function pliers. Most of them are made from special tool steel that can withstand mechanical loads.

The former is made by immersion insulation. To manufacture them, the pliers blank is dipped several times in liquid plastic.

KNIPEX Tweezers

The cutting edges of commercially available combination pliers usually lie between 60 HRC and 64 HRC. Versions at the upper end of this scale are particularly suitable for cutting hard materials.

High leverage combination pliers enable particularly efficient amplification of manual force. Thanks to their design, they cut significantly easier than conventional combination pliers and can also cut very hard materials, such as piano wire. They can also grip with significantly less effort. Knipex manufacture a range of pliers suitable for varying types of applications. With lightweight designs and compact constructions, you can be sure that your Knipex tool will have easy handling and be suitable for use in confined areas. One such Knipex tool we offer at FFX is the ratchet-action 320mm cable cutters that are perfect for cutting through copper and aluminium cables with diameters of up to 60mm, as well as multiple stranded cables.
