KNIPEX 6-1/4 in. 1000-Volt Insulated Long Nose Pliers with Cutter

KNIPEX Chain Needle-Nose Pliers are suitable for all types of fine gripping and cutting work. These pliers feature pointed, half-round jaws with serrated gripping surfaces. In addition, this tool features a cutter for use with soft, medium-hard and hard wire. These cutting edges have been additionally induction hardened with a cutting edge hardness of approximately 61 HRC. Crafted from vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened, these pliers are ideal for heavy duty use. Available with plastic dipped, multi-component comfort grip, or insulated grip handles. KNIPEX insulated and insulating tools meet or exceed the IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505 standards for insulated tools and comply with NFPA-70E. They are clearly marked with the official 1000-Volt rating symbol. Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. The steel KNIPEX uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8% 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. 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.
