Knipex 38 91 200 Mechanical Assembly Pliers, 200 mm

The Knipex 38 91 200 Mechanical Assembly Pliers are a professional-grade tool measuring 200 mm in length, engineered for precision in demanding mechanical and electronic environments. Constructed from high-quality vanadium electric steel, these pliers are forged and oil-hardened to ensure exceptional durability and long-term performance. The design features elongated, slim jaws that allow for excellent reach in confined spaces, making them an essential instrument for intricate assembly tasks.

Advantages

These assembly pliers offer superior bending strength in the jaws and tips, preventing deformation even under significant pressure. The gripping surfaces are meticulously cross-hatched and knurled, providing a secure and non-slip hold on wires, components, or small parts. The use of premium vanadium electric steel combined with a professional hardening process guarantees that the tool maintains its structural integrity and precision over extended periods of heavy-duty use.

Suitable for

• Precision gripping and bending in electronics assembly
• Mechanical repair and maintenance tasks
• Fine assembly work in confined spaces
• Handling small components in industrial environments

When it may not be suitable

These pliers are not intended for heavy-duty cutting of hardened steel wires or thick cables, as they are primarily designed for gripping and bending. They should also not be used for electrical work where insulated tools are required, as this model does not feature VDE-certified insulation.

Key specifications

• Length: 200 mm
• Jaw width: 2.5 mm
• Jaw length: 7.3 cm
• Material: Vanadium electric steel
• Surface finish: Cross-hatched and knurled gripping surfaces
• Hardening: Forged and oil-hardened

How to use

To use the Knipex 38 91 200, hold the handles firmly to ensure a stable grip. Position the jaws around the object you intend to bend or hold. Due to the knurled surface, the pliers will maintain a firm grip on the workpiece. Apply steady, controlled pressure to manipulate the component as needed. Always ensure the tool is clean and free of debris to maintain the effectiveness of the cross-hatched gripping surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 200 mm length is appropriate for your specific workspace requirements.
• Ensure the 2.5 mm jaw width is suitable for the size of the components you are handling.
• Confirm that this tool is intended for mechanical use and does not require electrical insulation.

Usage recommendations

Regularly wipe the pliers with a light oil to prevent corrosion and ensure the pivot joint remains smooth and easy to operate. Avoid using the tips as a lever to prevent potential damage to the precision-forged steel.
