KNIPEX combination pliers 160 mm, with two-component handles

Needle-nose pliers with cutting function for electricians and fitters

Pliers for gripping, positioning and cutting

The jaws of the Knipex 25 02 160 pliers are pointed at the front. Thanks to this design, these needle-nose pliers are suitable for a wide range of tasks: precise and controlled gripping and holding of components. The integrated cutting function allows for efficient cutting of cables and wires. The cutting edges of the Knipex 25 02 160 create a strong "bite-type" cut.

Thanks to the additional induction hardening of the cutting edges (cutting edge hardness approx. 61 HRC), the user can cut cables, soft and medium-hard wire (cutting capacity Ø 2.5 mm) and also hard wire (cutting capacity Ø 1.6 mm).

Stable needle-nose pliers – also during twisting and forceful cutting

The precision tips of the Knipex 25 02 160 are elastic and remain stable during twisting. This is an advantage when it is necessary to securely hold larger components or even smaller parts. The user can always control the applied force. Less effort is required for cutting, as the cutting edges are favorably positioned close to the joint of the pliers. Manual force is ideally transferred to the material to be cut.

Suitable for working in tight spaces

The Knipex 25 02 160 has been specially developed for working in tight spaces. With the pointed jaws at the front, the user can securely grip and hold components and wires. These pliers are therefore valued as a particularly useful tool during repair work, maintenance, and installations.
