Diagonal pliers Knipex TwinForce

The Knipex TwinForce diagonal pliers are a high-leverage cutter designed for efficient and low-impact cutting. Constructed from chrome vanadium heavy‑duty steel, forged and oil‑hardened, the tool features a patented double-joint mechanism that increases force transmission while reducing effort. At 180 mm length and approximately 280 g weight, these pliers combine compact dimensions with strong cutting performance and ergonomic plastic handles for comfortable grip.

Advantages

The patented double-hinged design provides ideal transmission of force, enabling precise cutting with reduced hand strain. The tool reliably cuts a wide range of wires — from very fine to tough materials such as steel tape — while maintaining low cutting impact. Precisely milled forged-in axles deliver high stability and zero backlash. The chrome vanadium construction, forging and oil hardening ensure durability for repetitive or heavy-duty cutting tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting insulated and uninsulated electrical wires
• Trimming small components in electronics and precision work
• Cutting steel tape and harder wire materials
• Repetitive cutting tasks in workshop and industrial settings

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the wire close to the pivot for maximum leverage on thicker materials, or near the tip for fine, precise cuts. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the material is severed. For repetitive or hard cutting tasks, use the ergonomic grip to maintain control and reduce muscle tension. Inspect the cutting edges regularly and keep the tool clean and lightly lubricated to preserve the forged-in axles and joint function.

Usage recommendations

Use the Knipex TwinForce for intended cutting tasks only; avoid prying or twisting loads that could damage the cutting edges or joint. For cutting insulated electrical wires, ensure power is disconnected and follow safety procedures. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and periodically check for wear.
