Pliers Knipex 82 01 150 — 150 mm length, model 82 01 150

Knipex 82 01 150 pliers are compact combination pliers with a total length of 150 mm designed for gripping, bending and cutting tasks. The short overall length provides improved access and control in confined spaces while maintaining the mechanical strength and cutting performance expected from Knipex tools. The pliers combine a serrated gripping surface, integrated cutting edges and a robust hinge for reliable daily use across electrical, mechanical and general maintenance work.

Advantages

The compact 150 mm length offers enhanced maneuverability in tight areas and allows precise work close to workpieces. Hardened cutting edges deliver clean cutting of soft and hard wires, while the serrated jaws ensure secure gripping of round and flat parts. Sturdy construction and a smooth joint ensure consistent alignment and long service life. Lightweight design reduces operator fatigue during repetitive tasks.

Suitable for

• Gripping and holding small components in electrical installation and repair
• Bending and shaping wires and metal strips in mechanical assembly
• Cutting copper, brass and soft steel wires during maintenance
• Work in confined or hard-to-reach spaces where a short plier is required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 150 mm
• Tool type: combination pliers (gripping, bending, cutting)
• Jaw design: serrated gripping surfaces for round and flat materials
• Cutting edges: hardened cutting edges suitable for soft and hard wire
• Hinge: precision rivet joint for stable alignment
• Handle finish: ergonomic grip surfaces for control (non-slip)
• Material: high-strength tool steel with surface finish for corrosion resistance

How to use

Position the pliers so the serrated jaws engage the workpiece for secure gripping. For cutting, place the wire as close to the hinge as possible to use the mechanical advantage of the cutting edges; apply steady, even pressure until the wire is severed. Use the bending area of the jaws to shape wire or metal strips, taking care to support the part being bent to avoid slippage. After use, clean any debris from the jaws and apply light lubrication to the hinge if needed to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers only within their mechanical limits: avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the specified capacity, and do not use the tool as a hammer or pry bar. Store in a dry place and inspect the cutting edges and joint periodically; resharpening or professional service is advised if cutting performance degrades.
