Lineman's pliers Knipex 02 01 200 Steel 200 mm 298 g

The Knipex 02 01 200 Lineman's pliers are steel combination pliers, 200 mm long and weighing 298 g, designed for electrical and construction tasks. They feature long, hardened cutting edges (approx. 63 HRC) and optimized leverage to reduce the effort required for cutting and gripping. The pliers include zones for gripping flat and round material and long cutting edges for thicker cables, providing a durable tool for demanding use.

Advantages

These Lineman's pliers require up to 35% less effort compared with conventional combination pliers thanks to optimized leverage. Hardened cutting edges (approx. 63 HRC) enable heavy-duty cutting, while long cutting edges allow handling thicker cables. Gripping zones for flat and round materials make the tool versatile, and the high-grade special tool steel construction (forged, oil-hardened) ensures strength and wear resistance.

Suitable for

• Cutting and stripping electrical cables
• Gripping, bending and pulling wires and small components
• General construction and maintenance tasks requiring robust pliers

How to use

Position the pliers so the workpiece sits between the cutting edges or gripping zones. For cutting, place the cable or wire as close to the pivot as possible and apply steady pressure on the handles—optimized leverage reduces the required force. Use the flat and round gripping zones to hold, bend or pull materials as needed. After use, clean debris from the jaws and store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves and eye protection) when cutting or manipulating wires. Do not use the pliers on live electrical conductors unless they are specifically insulated for live working. Regularly inspect cutting edges for wear and have blades reconditioned or replace the tool if cutting performance deteriorates.
