09 01 240 SBA, 9 1/2-Inch High-Leverage New England-Style Lineman's Pliers

Knipex Tools redesigned Lineman’s Pliers are heavy-duty for the most demanding jobs. The rivet has been reduced in size and moved closer to the jaws to create an ultra-high leverage design for 25% easier cutting power. The cutting edges are induction hardened with a cutting edge hardness of approximately 64 HRC for long life and easy cutting of soft, hard and ACSR wire. Additionally, they feature a serrated cross-hatched knurled gripping zone in the jaws for gripping and pulling (such as for fencing applications). There is an additional gripping zone below the joint for strong gripping of wires and pulling nails. Select models also include a universal terminal crimper and a fish tape puller on the backside. Our Lineman's Pliers are forged from vanadium electric steel and are available in dipped, multi-component grip and 1000V insulated handles.


The back recess has an oval shaped design which works better on thicker, round or oval shaped cable.

Specifications:
  • Cutting capacity: Up to 3/16-inch nail and wire pin; 1/8-inch wire rope strand and steel wire.
  • Length: 9-1/2 inches.
  • Weight: 15.3 ounces.
  • Handles: Plastic Coated.

Quality in Every Detail

Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look.

The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8% carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.

Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.

Effective Cross-Hatched Knurled Gripping Zone in the Jaws

Additional Serrated Gripping Zone for Powerful Leverage

Product Description

Product Description

KNIPEX Tools has completely redesigned our Lineman’s Pliers series to make them easier to cut with, saving you time and energy. The rivet has been reduced in size and moved closer to the jaws to create an ultra-high leverage design for 25% easier cutting power. Additionally, the recess on the back now has an oval shaped design which works better on thicker, round or oval shaped cable. The design also has created a great way to deburr conduit pipes; open the jaws slightly for a round shape and insert the conduit. This new lineman’s design is not only making this product more competitive in the market but it is going to become the new design to beat! With carded packaging.

From the Manufacturer

The high leverage New England style linesman pliers require 40% less effort due to the lever action. The comfort grip is made of a two color dual material for addition gripping comfort. Additional gripping zone below the articulated joint for powerful leverage and pressing performance. Effective crosswise serrated gripping zone in the jaws for strong gripping and pulling. The cutting edges are an approximate 64 HRC and will cut through soft and hard wire. The cutting capacities are 4.6 mm for medium hard wire and 3.0 mm for hard wire.

Quality German Pliers for Industrial Type Work
A high end polished tool that will last forever. I ran across this brand and found these German made tools to exceed expectations. This is a larger size for wiring 18 to 12 gauge so great for doing more industrial type work if you are a computer type guy.
