Pincers Knipex 99 10 250

The Knipex 99 10 250 plier pincers are professional-grade concrete tying nippers designed for efficient cutting and twisting of binding wire. Manufactured from high-grade special tool steel with forging and oil-hardening, these pincers have a total length of 250 mm, a cutting length of 3.3 mm and a hardened cutting edge with an approximate hardness of 61 HRC. With a weight of 350 g and an extra-slim form, they allow access to deep-mounted reinforcement and combine wire twisting and cutting in a single pass for faster workflow on construction and reinforcement tasks.

Advantages

These pincers require up to 25% less effort compared to conventional concrete nippers of the same size due to the high-leverage joint that minimises user strain even when working with thick binding wires. The cutting stroke is highly damped to reduce impact on tendons and muscles, and the cutting edges are additionally hardened for long-term durability. The extra-slim form improves accessibility in confined or deep mounting situations, while the capability to twist and cut wire in one action speeds up repetitive tying operations.

Suitable for

• Tying and cutting binding wire on concrete reinforcement
• Work by concreters and rebar fixers on construction sites
• Tasks requiring access to deep-mounted steel rods
• Professional and DIY projects needing precise grip and cut

Key specifications

• Total length: 250 mm
• Cutting length: 3.3 mm
• Weight: 350 g
• Material: high-grade special tool steel, forged and oil-hardened
• Cutting edge hardness: approx. 61 HRC
• Design: extra-slim form, high-leverage joint
• Functionality: twist and cut binding wire in a single pass

How to use

Position the binding wire in the cutting and twisting area of the pincers, taking care that the wire sits correctly between the cutting edges. Squeeze the handles firmly to perform the combined twisting and cutting action in a single motion. Use the extra-slim jaws to reach deep-mounted reinforcement bars; if resistance increases significantly, release and reposition to avoid damaging the wire or tool. After use, wipe away debris and store the pincers dry to maintain the hardened cutting edges and joint performance.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective operation, wear appropriate hand protection and eye protection when cutting wire. Regularly inspect the cutting edges for wear and keep the joint lightly lubricated. Use the tool within its intended application—tying and cutting binding wire on reinforcement—to maintain performance and longevity.
