Half-round, long, tapered jaws
Distortion-tolerant, elastic precision tips
Suitable for finer gripping and cutting work, also on easy and semi-difficult to reach areas
With cutting edges for soft, medium-hard and hard wire
Cutting edges additionally induction-hardened, cutting edge hardness approx. 61 HRC
The Knipex 26 16 200 is primarily used by electricians carrying out installation, wire feeding and assembly work and who also want a professional cutting function on the pliers. The cutting edges of the pliers are shaped to produce a bite type cut. The cutting edges are additionally induction hardened to approx. 61 HRC so that the pliers can even be used to cut hard wire.
Inherently stable also where there is twisting and very strong when cutting
The precision tips made of vanadium electric steel are elastic and stable when twisted. This allows the manual force deployed using these pliers to be well measured, which is a particular benefit with delicate components. The needle nose pliers can also be used for powerful gripping and holding – and for cutting. Thanks to the position of the cutting edges near the joint which is advantageous for the transmission of force, good cutting capacities are achieved. Medium-hard wire can be cut up to Ø 3.2 mm and hard wire up to Ø 2.2 mm.
