Lineman's pliers Knipex 03 02 200

The Knipex 03 02 200 Lineman's pliers are forged from special tool steel and oil-hardened for durability. At 200 mm overall length and weighing 322 g, these pliers offer a combination of gripping zones for flat and round materials and long cutting edges designed to handle both soft and hard wire. The cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 60 HRC for extended service life, and the cutting length is 1.6 cm.

Advantages

These lineman's pliers combine gripping areas for flat and round conductors with long, induction-hardened cutting edges suitable for thicker cables. Forged special tool steel and oil-hardening improve strength and wear resistance while the optimized geometry ensures reliable cutting of soft and hard wire.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft and hard electrical wire
• Gripping and bending flat and round conductors
• Working with thicker cables where longer cutting edges are needed
• General electrical and mechanical tasks requiring robust pliers

How to use

Position the gripping zones on the appropriate section of the conductor for secure holding, then apply firm, even pressure on the handles to bend or pull. For cutting, place the wire as close to the pivot as possible on the long cutting edges and squeeze the handles together in a steady motion. Use the round-gripping zone for rods or round cables and the flat-gripping zone for flat material. Maintain a controlled grip to avoid slippage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the pliers before use for wear or damage, especially at the cutting edges. Do not use the pliers on live electrical circuits unless they are specifically insulated and rated for that purpose. Keep the cutting edges clean and periodically lubricate the pivot to ensure smooth operation; re-sharpening should be performed by a qualified service if required.
