NEW Knipex 2617200 1000V Insulated 200mm Snipe Nose Pliers With Cut Chrome Plated 200MM

KNIPEX 26 17 200 Snipe Nose Side Cutting Pliers (200mm) – VDE 1000V Insulated

Reach into tight electrical enclosures and manipulate delicate wiring with confidence using the KNIPEX 26 17 200 Snipe Nose Side Cutting Pliers. Standard pliers often struggle with accessibility in cramped panels, while lesser tools risk bending or snapping precision tips under load. Additionally, working around live electrical connections requires certified safety insulation. Made in Germany from forged, oil-hardened vanadium electric steel, these 200mm pliers feature flexible, highly elastic precision tips that withstand high torsional loads without distorting or snapping.

Equipped with half-round, long jaws and knurled gripping surfaces, the KNIPEX 26 17 200 allows technicians to grip, hold, and guide fine wires effortlessly. Integrated side cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 61 HRC, enabling clean cuts through medium-hard wire up to 3.2mm and hard wire up to 2.2mm. Finished with corrosion-resistant chrome plating and ergonomic dipped handles VDE-tested to IEC 60900 / DIN EN 60900 standards, this tool delivers unmatched versatility and electrical protection for professional electricians and electronics technicians.
