Pliers Knipex 38 71 200

The Knipex 38 71 200 pliers are precision tools engineered for fine gripping, bending and manipulation tasks. With a jaw width of 2 mm and a jaw length of 7.3 cm, these pliers provide controlled access into tight spaces. Constructed from vanadium electric steel that is forged and oil-hardened, the tool combines durability with a slim profile. At 200 mm overall length and 174 g weight, the pliers balance reach and control for detailed mechanical, electrical and craft work.

Advantages

Cross-hatched, knurled gripping surfaces on the jaws ensure secure hold of small components and wires without excessive slippage. The high bending strength of the jaws and tips provides resistance to deformation during repeated use, while the vanadium electric steel construction and oil-hardening process increase wear resistance and maintain edge stability. The slim 2 mm jaw width and 7.3 cm jaw length allow precise positioning and manipulation in confined or densely packed assemblies.

Suitable for

• Precision gripping and bending of small metal parts
• Electrical assembly and wire handling in tight spaces
• Jewellery making and delicate craftwork
• Maintenance tasks requiring controlled leverage and access

How to use

Hold the pliers by the handles with a comfortable grip and position the slim jaws around the workpiece, aligning the 2 mm jaw width with the area to be gripped or bent. Apply steady pressure to close the jaws and perform bending, pulling or holding operations as required. Use small, controlled movements when working on delicate components to avoid overstressing the material. After use, wipe the tool clean and store it in a dry place to protect the hardened surfaces.

Usage recommendations

Use these pliers for tasks requiring precision and reliable jaw strength; avoid applying excessive torque beyond the tool’s intended size to prevent damage. Regularly inspect the knurled gripping surfaces for wear and keep the pliers lightly oiled if used in humid environments to preserve the forged, oil-hardened steel.
