Many KNIPEX models are available in a variety of different shapes and positions of the pliers head, which means that the pliers can be adjusted to the application and the hand can remain in a natural and relaxed position.
Head positions on model No. 38
straight, half-round jaws
bent, half-round jaws
45° bent, half-round, long jaws
70° bent, half-round jaws
flat, slim jaws
cranked, half-round jaws
flat, wide jaws
Furthermore the space between the handles on KNIPEX pliers is designed in such a way that the force can be developed to suit the application required (too large or small a space between the handles makes it more difficult to apply the required force).
A particularly good solution for this is, for example, the ratchet cable cutter, Art. No. 95 31 with two "gears". With this tool, depending entirely on the hand force required, a smaller or larger handle spacing can be selected.
