Pliers Knipex KP-0306180

Combination pliers Knipex KP-0306180 comply with DIN ISO 5746 and are chrome plated with multi-component insulated handles. The tool is VDE-tested to IEC 60900 / DIN EN 60900 standards and is manufactured from forged, oil-hardened special tool steel for long service life.

Advantages

The pliers include gripping zones for both flat and round material and have cutting edges suitable for soft and hard wire. Long cutting edges allow cutting thicker cables, while the cutting faces are induction hardened to approximately 60 HRC for improved wear resistance. Ergonomic multi-component grips provide secure handling and good leverage for precision work.

Suitable for

• Grip and hold flat or round workpieces

How to use

Position the jaw on the workpiece using the appropriate gripping zone for flat or round material. For cutting, place the wire as close to the pivot as possible to use maximum leverage and ensure a clean cut. Use the long cutting edges for thicker cables and avoid twisting the tool while cutting to preserve the hardened cutting surfaces. Maintain a firm, comfortable grip on the insulated handles during use.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the pliers on live circuits beyond the rated test conditions; always verify insulation integrity before working on energized installations. Clean and lightly oil the pivot periodically and avoid cutting hardened wire or materials beyond the specified capabilities to prevent premature wear.
