Combinatietang Knipex 02 02 180

The Knipex 02 02 180 Lineman's pliers are 180 mm heavy-duty combination pliers forged from high-grade special tool steel and oil-hardened for durability. The tool features long, hardened cutting edges and optimised leverage to reduce required effort while providing powerful gripping, bending and pulling performance. Plastic handles ensure a comfortable grip for professional and DIY electrical work.

Advantages

These lineman's pliers require up to 35% less effort than conventional combination pliers thanks to improved leverage. Cutting edges are hardened to approximately 63 HRC for heavy-duty cutting, and their extended length allows cutting thicker cables. The jaws include gripping zones for flat and round material to enable versatile use.

Recommendations

Regularly clean and lightly oil the joint to maintain smooth operation. Inspect cutting edges for wear before use and replace the tool if the cutting performance degrades significantly.
