Pliers Knipex 02 05 225

The Knipex 02 05 225 pliers are forged from high-grade special tool steel and oil-hardened for durability. At 225 mm length and approximately 400 g weight, they combine cutting edges hardened to approx. 63 HRC with optimised leverage to reduce required effort compared with conventional combination pliers. The tool features long cutting edges for thicker cables and grip zones for both flat and round materials, providing reliable performance for gripping, cutting, bending and pulling tasks.

Advantages

These pliers require up to 35% less effort than conventional combination pliers thanks to optimised leverage. The hardened cutting edges (approx. 63 HRC) are designed for heavy-duty cutting, while the long cutting edges accommodate thicker cables. Gripping zones for flat and round material and a comfortable blue-and-red handle improve control and versatility. The tool is forged from high-grade special tool steel and oil-hardened for long service life.

How to use

Position the pliers so the workpiece is placed between the appropriate gripping zone or cutting edge. Apply steady pressure on the handles to cut, grip, bend or pull as required; the optimised leverage reduces the force needed. For cutting, place the cable or wire as deep as possible into the long cutting edges and close the handles in a smooth motion. Use the flat or round gripping zones for secure holding of different shapes.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cutting edges before use and avoid cutting hardened steel or materials harder than the specified hardness rating. Keep the pliers clean and lightly oiled to maintain the oil-hardened finish and prevent corrosion. Use appropriate personal protective equipment for cutting and gripping tasks.
