High leverage combination pliers for demanding tasks in the workshop
High force transmission – advantages when gripping flat and round parts
The Knipex 02 06 180 high leverage combination pliers offer excellent results with comparatively little effort when pulling, bending and holding, especially for electrical industry applications. Their short, serrated gripping jaws at the tip enable a particularly firm hold when pulling, gripping and bending flat workpieces. Round and half-round objects can be securely held and rotated using the oval burner port. Whether installing junction boxes, bending lightning rods or mounting satellite dishes: The tradesman benefits from the high force transmission of these pliers everywhere. Technicians can apply the majority of their hand power on the object instead of on the tool. The favourable transmission ratio pays off especially when cutting.
Effortlessly cuts busbars, copper cables and even piano wire
The Knipex 02 06 180 high leverage combination pliers feature cutting edges (approx. 63 HRC) and gripping surfaces closer to the pivot point of the joint than conventional combination pliers, which means that greater forces act on the workpiece. The Knipex high leverage combination pliers can cut multi-strand copper cables up to Ø 11.5 mm, hard wire up to Ø 2.5 mm and piano wire up to Ø 2.0 mm.
Forged from special tool steel, oil hardened and chrome plated
The fabrication of the 02 06 180 high leverage combination pliers is designed for tough use in industry and trade. Forged from special tool steel, they receive an additional, multi-stage oil hardening. The final chrome plating protects against corrosion. Its ergonomic shape enables a secure and powerful grip. The insulating multi-component grips on the handles are VDE-tested.
