Lineman's pliers Knipex 02 02 200

The Knipex 02 02 200 Lineman's pliers are forged from high-grade special tool steel and oil-hardened for durability. At 200 mm length with ergonomic plastic handles, these pliers combine optimized leverage and long cutting edges to ease cutting, gripping, bending and pulling tasks while remaining suitable for heavy-duty use.

Advantages

Designed to require up to 35% less effort than conventional combination pliers, the tool features hardened cutting edges (approx. 63 HRC) for reliable heavy-duty cutting. Optimised leverage improves cutting performance and gripping power, and dedicated gripping zones handle both flat and round material. The long cutting edges make it easier to cut thicker cables, while the robust forged and oil-hardened construction ensures long service life.

Suitable for

• Electricians: cutting and stripping wires, bending and pulling conductors

How to use

Hold the pliers by the insulated plastic handles and position the material between the jaws. Use the optimized leverage to cut or bend with controlled force. For cutting thicker cables, place them along the long cutting edges and apply steady pressure. Use the gripping zones for flat or round sections to hold and manipulate workpieces securely. Keep fingers clear of the cutting edges and maintain a stable grip during pulling or bending operations.

Usage recommendations

For safe, long-lasting performance, keep the pliers clean and lightly lubricate the pivot joint periodically. Inspect cutting edges before use and avoid cutting hardened wire beyond the specified hardness to prevent premature wear.
