Ergonomy is the science of adjusting technology to human beings to facilitate work. In the design of KNIPEX pliers, ergonomic criteria are given particular attention. The main aim of this is to keep the effort required by the user and thus any health risks to a minimum. |
Ergonomy with pliers goes well beyond the basic "handle design“. KNIPEX pliers are designed in such a way that in use
- they require a minimum of effort
- the hand and finger joints are assured a low stress position
- there is good contact between the hand and the handle
