Snipe nose side cutting pliers (stork beak pliers), VDE insulated, tether point, 200 mm - Knipex 26 16 200 T

Working on live parts and working at height call for two separate safeguards on the same tool. The 26 16 200 T snipe nose side cutting pliers bring both, insulated multi-component grips to IEC 60900 and an integrated insulated attachment point, at 200 mm length and 215 g.

Benefits

• Half-round, long and tapered jaws reach components that sit deep inside an assembly.
• Distortion-tolerant, elastic precision tips spring back instead of bending out of shape.
• Made for finer gripping and cutting work in easily and moderately accessible areas.
• Cutting edges for soft, medium-hard and hard wire, medium-hard up to Ø 3.2 mm, hard up to Ø 2.2 mm.
• Additionally induction-hardened cutting edges of around 61 HRC stay sharp for a long time.
• Insulated multi-component grips, VDE tested for work on live parts up to 1000 V.
• Integrated insulated attachment point for a tool tether, leaving the insulation intact.
• Jaw length of 73 mm at a head width of 18 mm, so even deeply seated terminals are within reach.
• Pliers and head chrome-plated, a surface that protects against corrosion.
