Combikniptang Knipex 03 01 180

The Knipex 03 01 180 Lineman's pliers are forged from special tool steel and oil-hardened for durability. At 180 mm overall length and weighing 216 g, they combine gripping zones for flat and round materials with long cutting edges suitable for thicker cables. Cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 60 HRC to handle both soft and hard wire.

Advantages

These lineman's pliers offer versatile gripping thanks to dedicated zones for flat and round material, and long, hardened cutting edges for reliable cutting of thicker cables. The induction-hardened cutting edges (approx. 60 HRC) extend tool life when working with soft and hard wire. The forged, oil-hardened special tool steel construction provides strength and durability for heavy-duty use.

Suitable for

• Gripping and bending flat metal parts
• Holding and shaping round wires and rods
• Cutting soft and hard electrical wires

How to use

Use the gripping zones to secure flat or round material before bending or shaping. Position the long cutting edges around the conductor or wire close to the joint you want to cut, apply steady pressure and close the handles to sever the material. For cutting hard wire, take care to position the wire deep in the hardened cutting edge section to reduce stress on the tool. Keep fingers clear of the cutting area and ensure a firm hold on the handles during use.

Recommendations

Inspect the cutting edges before use and avoid cutting hardened steel beyond the tool's intended capacity. After use, clean off residues and apply a light oil film to prevent corrosion; store the pliers in a dry place.
