With safety its first priority, KNIPEX has designed a built-in pinch guard that prevents blood blisters on your hand. The unique self-locking adjustment and induction hardened gripping teeth means that once it's set, it stays.

  • There's no slipping and no need to waste strength squeezing the pliers — ensuring operator safety and more efficient work.

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 percent 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.

The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied users are worth this effort.

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.

5 Stars
Flawless, amazing tools.
24,000 ratings and they are still a 4.9 star item for a reason. The Germans have always over built tools for the job and these are no exception. I’ve used Knipex for years and have always been very happy with the quality of tools they make, they are one of the few companies that still make tools to last multiple lifetimes. Good people, making amazing tools. 10/10 recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars 5” pliers are tiny
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024
I really liked them they have a good bite, they fit anywhere. Now for function these are small I would go a size or two larger to tackle more things. These will get you out of a pinch but they just small for most jobs. I wish I had ordered the next bigger size but still small enough to carry inside a pocket or small pouch. Just my 2 cents.
