When it comes to your daily tasks, finding the perfect set of pliers is crucial. Understanding the overall structure and unique design of pliers is key to making the right selection. By examining the different components, such as the jaws, joint, and handles, you can better understand what makes each type of pliers the right fit for the right job.

The Jaws

The Jaws of a plier are designed with specific purposes in mind. Whether it's the sturdy teeth for secure grip, the sharp blades for precise cutting, or the versatile combination of gripping and cutting capabilities, the precision design of the jaws ensures that they are ideally suited for each task.  Knipex plier jaws are precision crafted to provide all the right pressure points and grip in all the right places.  

The Joint

At the heart of Knipex pliers lies a meticulously crafted joint, standing as a testament to their engineering superiority. Playing a crucial role as the pivot point, the joint of the pliers governs the transfer of force from the handles to either the cutting edges or the gripping jaws. It serves as the fulcrum for efficient force transmission within the pliers. 

The Grip

Knipex pliers are a testament to meticulous German craftsmanship. With a focus on ergonomics, each handle style is intricately designed to create a seamless connection between your hand and the tool, resulting in enhanced comfort, precise control, and superior performance. From intricate tasks to prolonged use, Knipex pliers excel at providing the perfect balance of form and function.

Cutting Pliers

Which Cutting Tool should I use? Cutting pliers exhibit variations in the position and shape of their cutting edges, which allow for efficient access to different materials. The positioning of the cutting edge can be at a right angle, diagonal, or parallel to the handles, depending on the most optimal approach for cutting the material. This thoughtful design ensures that users can effortlessly maneuver the pliers and achieve precise cuts, regardless of the material's nature or thickness. Whether it's reaching tight spaces or obtaining a specific cutting angle, Knipex cutting pliers provide versatile options to suit various cutting requirements, empowering users to tackle any cutting task with ease and accuracy.

End Cutting

End cutters find utility in situations where the wire or materials are exclusively accessible from the front of the tool. Likewise, they prove advantageous when a wire needs to be cut flush against a surface.

Oblique Cutting

Oblique cutters are specifically designed for situations where there is neither front nor side access available to reach the material that needs to be cut. They come into play when other types of cutters, such as front, side, or center cutters, are unable to perform the task. 

Diagonal Cutting

Side cutters, the ubiquitous champions of cutting pliers, offer a vast selection of lengths and materials, making them an indispensable tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike, effortlessly conquering diverse cutting tasks with precision and ease. 

Center Cutting

Center cutters excel in providing exceptional cutting edge stability, thanks to their advantageous wedge angle. This advantageous design feature enables a reduced penetration force of the cutting edge into the wire, minimizing the manual effort required for cutting tasks.
