Product Description
-------------------
Made In Wuppertal-Cronenberg, Germany. In Addition To Quality,
Innovation And Performance, Other Important Cornerstones Are
Sustainable Actions And Value-Guided Orientation. Designed to
take the outer jacked off of common wires such as Romex and SO
cables, the Knipex dismantling (model 98 55) features an
ergonomically improved handle shape with comfortable slip guard
that's insulated to 1,000 volts — great for working on live wire.
This dismantling 's solid, fixed hook blade has two cutting
blades — one on the outside and another on the inside turning
point — as well as a guide show that's designed to slide along
the inside conductors of the wire and prevent nicking or damaging
the inner conductor. A thumb recess and "finger hook" at the end
of the handle ensure a good transmission of force when the blade
is pulled. The blade is constructed from surgical-grade,
air-hardened stainless steel. 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. About Knipex Headquartered in Wuppertal, Germany,
Knipex is an independently owned family enterprise steeped in
tradition and specializing in the manufacturing of high-quality
pliers. It all started back in 1882 when C. Gustav Putsch set up
his own forge shop in Cronenberg (now a suburb of Wuppertal), and
the company is now run by a fourth generation of that family. The
world's leading brand in pliers today, Knipex is focused on the
performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools in order
to meet the high expectations of professional users. 98 55
