KNIPEX 08 26 185 Needle Nose Pliers 185 mm

Needle Nose Pliers KNIPEX 08 26 185 Size 185 mm
Elevate electrical safety to the highest level with the KNIPEX 08 26 185 1000V Insulated Needle Nose Pliers, 185 mm (7.25 in). This premium German-made tool combines "VDE standard electrical insulation safety" with the "versatility of needle nose pliers." Engineered for professional electricians who need to grip, bend, strip, or cut wires in control cabinets, switch boxes, or confined spaces with electrical hazard risks. The extra-thick, two-color multi-component insulated handles are tested and certified to international VDE standards (IEC 60900), providing high-voltage protection up to 1,000V. Forged from special high-grade tool steel and chrome-plated for superior rust resistance. The slender, high-torsion-resistant tips do not distort easily and feature serrated gripping surfaces inside to firmly hold flat and round components. Cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 61 HRC, cleanly cutting medium-hard wire, hard wire, and copper/aluminum cables.
