Specifications

Long, Slim Jaws for Difficult-to-Reach Areas

The extended nose is designed to reach components that conventional pliers may not easily access.

Long, tapered jaws make these pliers particularly useful for gripping, aligning, positioning, and manipulating components inside confined assemblies, machinery, equipment, and other restricted areas.

The half-round jaw profile provides a versatile gripping surface while maintaining the narrow profile needed for precision access.

Flexible Precision Tips

The tips are engineered to be flexible while remaining stable under twisting forces.

This combination allows controlled gripping and positioning while helping the tips resist permanent distortion during demanding work.

The long nose also provides useful reach without sacrificing the ability to grip small components near the tip.

Integrated Wire Cutter

An integrated cutter near the joint adds a second function without requiring a separate cutting tool.

The cutting edges are additionally induction hardened to approximately 61 HRC and are suitable for:

• Soft wire

• Medium-hard wire

• Hard wire

Maximum cutting capacity is approximately 1/8" (3.2 mm) for medium-hard wire and 3/32" (2.2 mm) for hard wire.

Positioning the cutter close to the joint provides favorable leverage when cutting tougher wire.

KNIPEX Comfort Handles

The multi-component Comfort handles provide a larger gripping surface for controlled handling during extended or demanding work.

Current production uses KNIPEX's redesigned KNIPEXTEND Comfort handles, which can also accept compatible KNIPEXTEND ColorCoded Clips and TetheredTool Clips.

Handle appearance may vary depending on production date and existing distributor inventory.

Forged Vanadium Steel Construction

The pliers are manufactured from vanadium steel and are forged and multi-stage oil hardened for durability.

This construction supports the combination of long precision jaws, resilient tips, and hardened cutting edges required for professional gripping and cutting applications.

Useful for Gripping, Aligning & Installation

These pliers combine reach, gripping capability, and cutting in one tool, making them useful for:

• Gripping small components

• Aligning and positioning parts

• Installation work

• Reaching recessed components

• Mechanical repair

• Equipment maintenance

• Automotive work

• Assembly work

• Cutting wire

• General shop use
