Product Description
-------------------
KNIPEX Tools has completely redesigned our Lineman’s Pliers
series to make them easier to cut with, saving you time and
energy. The rivet has been reduced in size and moved closer to
the jaws to create an ultra-high leverage design for 25% easier
cutting power. Additionally, the recess on the back now has an
oval shaped design which works better on thicker, round or oval
shaped cable. The design also has created a great way to deburr
conduit pipes; open the jaws slightly for a round shape and
insert the conduit. This new lineman’s design is not only making
this product more competitive in the market but it is going to
become the new design to beat! With carded packaging.

The Knipex New England-style lineman's pliers feature a high
leverage design that requires 40 percent less effort compared to
conventional combination pliers. It offers a cable puller in the
joint gap and with universal mandrel crimping point below the
joint. The cross-hatched serrated gripping zone provides firm
gripping and pulling (such as for fencing applications). Other
features include a gripping zone below the joint for powerful
leverage, long cutting edges for cutting flat cables, a fish tape
puller in the joint gap, and a crimping area blow the joint. The
cutting edges are induction hardened, with a cutting edge
hardness of approximately 64 HRC. These pliers come with comfort
grip handles with a wider grip.

Quality in Every Detail
-----------------------
Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to
destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting.
Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a
long, careful look.
The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8
percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium,
guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even
though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But
our high product demands require this.
The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand
up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we
forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we
have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters.
But satisfied users are worth this effort.
Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the
sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The
precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and
the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we
test, and we improve our pliers.
