Kombinované kliešte Knipex 01 06 160

The Lineman's pliers Knipex 01 06 160 are professional-grade combination pliers designed for cutting, gripping and bending conductors and general electrical work. Manufactured from chromium-vanadium steel, they combine mechanical strength with long-term wear resistance. The tool measures approximately 160 mm in length with a working head width of about 55 mm and a height of 20 mm, providing a compact yet robust profile suitable for confined spaces and routine tasks on job sites.

Advantages

These Knipex lineman's pliers offer durable construction and precise cutting edges, along with bump resistance and dielectric protection to increase user safety during electrical operations. The ergonomic proportions and balanced weight distribution promote controlled handling and reduce fatigue during repetitive tasks. Hardened gripping surfaces and a reliable cutting zone deliver consistent performance on copper and aluminium conductors as well as on general-purpose fastening and bending tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming insulated and non-insulated electrical conductors
• Gripping, bending and forming wires and small metal parts
• General electrician tasks, maintenance and repair work
• DIY projects requiring a compact, durable combination pliers

Key specifications

• Material: chromium-vanadium steel for high strength and wear resistance
• Overall length: 160 mm (approx.) for compact handling
• Head width: 55 mm (approx.); head height: 20 mm (approx.)
• Bump-resistant design and dielectric protection for safer electrical work
• Hardened cutting edges and serrated gripping surfaces for secure hold

How to use

Position the pliers so the jaws fully encompass the conductor or component to be cut, gripped or bent. For cutting, place the wire as close to the pivot as possible to use the mechanical advantage of the pliers and apply steady, controlled pressure. When gripping or bending, use the serrated section of the jaws to secure the part and avoid twisting motions that could damage insulation. Observe proper technique for dielectric-protected tools: inspect the tool before use for any damage to coatings or insulation and do not use on live circuits beyond the tool's rated protection.

Recommendations

Regularly inspect the pliers for wear or damage, keep cutting edges clean and sharpened by a qualified service if necessary, and store the tool in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Do not use the pliers as a hammer, pry bar, or for tasks exceeding their intended mechanical limits. For electrical work, ensure compliance with applicable safety standards and verify the insulation condition before use on any energized system.
