Pincers Knipex 50 00 225 — steel pincers, length 225 mm, weight 427 g

Knipex 50 00 225 steel pincers, length 225 mm and weight 427 g, are designed for cutting, gripping and pulling tasks in workshop and industrial environments. Made entirely of special tool steel, forged and oil-hardened, these pincers feature additionally hardened cutting edges with an approximate hardness of 60 HRC to withstand intensive use. The all-steel construction and steel handles provide robust mechanical strength for heavy-duty applications and prolonged service life.

Advantages

The tool delivers extreme wear resistance and a well-balanced feel that supports precision work. Cutting edges are hardened to approximately 60 HRC for reliable performance when shearing wire and small metal parts. Because the pincers are forged from special tool steel and oil-hardened, they maintain edge retention and structural stability under repeated loads. Their weight and length give good leverage for cutting and pulling operations while remaining compact enough for general maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• General maintenance and repair work in workshops
• Metalworking tasks including cutting and shaping small parts
• Electrical tasks where durable cutting and gripping tools are required
• Heavy-duty applications requiring robust, wear-resistant pincers
• Craftsmen and professionals needing precise, reliable hand tools

Key specifications

• Overall length: 225 mm
• Weight: 427 g
• Material: special tool steel, forged and oil-hardened
• Cutting edge hardness: approx. 60 HRC
• Construction: all-steel design with steel handles for high mechanical strength

How to use

Position the pincers so the cutting edges or gripping jaws properly engage the workpiece. Apply steady pressure to the handles to cut, pull or grip; use the tool’s leverage for tougher tasks, taking care to maintain control. For cutting wire or small metal components, align the material close to the cutting edge and close the handles firmly but smoothly. For pulling or gripping, ensure a secure bite on the workpiece before applying force to avoid slippage.

Usage recommendations

To preserve cutting performance and tool life, avoid using the pincers on hardened bolts or materials above the specified hardness range. Keep the tool clean and apply light oil occasionally to pivot points to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, when performing cutting or heavy pulling tasks.
