Diagonal pliers Knipex 26 22 200

The Knipex 26 22 200 diagonal pliers combine precision cutting and gripping in a compact 200 mm tool. They have a jaw width of 2.5 mm and a jaw length of 73 mm, with hardened cutting edges suitable for soft, medium-hard and hard wire. Made from forged, oil-hardened vanadium electric steel, the pliers offer dimensional stability and an ergonomic design for comfortable handling during professional and DIY tasks.

Advantages

Elastic, distortion-tolerant precision tips remain dimensionally stable even when twisted. The half-round, long, pointed jaws allow accurate access in confined spaces. Cutting edges hardened to approximately 61 HRC permit reliable cutting of a range of wire hardnesses. The forged, oil-hardened vanadium electric steel construction ensures tool durability and consistent cutting performance.

Suitable for

• Cutting soft, medium-hard and hard wire

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the wire close to the joint, apply steady pressure on the handles and make a clean cut. Use the pointed half-round jaws to access and hold small components or to trim wire ends in confined areas. For safety, keep fingers away from the cutting path and wear appropriate eye protection when cutting springy or high-tension materials.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the cutting edges for wear and avoid cutting hardened materials beyond the specified hardness to maintain blade life. Store the pliers dry and apply light lubrication to the joint if movement becomes stiff.
