KNIPEXPliers for Electrical Installation chrome-plated, insulated with multi-component grips, VDE-tested 200 mm (self-service card/blister) 13 96 200 SB

Another great Knipex product.These are the 13 96 200 pliers, with the locking mechanism.The tool has 4 main functions. As a pair of cable shears, as a wire stripper for cable up to 2.5mm, as a crimp, and as a pair of pliers.The shears will happily cut 25mm tails.The wire strippers are good and sharp and are perfectly sized for their relevant wires.The crimp isn't as good as a purpose made crimp tool, but is useful for getting you out of trouble.The pliers are good and solid. They have the usual circular grip, which then tapers off to serrated blades, which then taper to smooth ends for pulling cable through without damaging the outer insulation. The ends taper to a useful 4mm. Perfect for getting into tight spots.When closed and with the lock on, the pliers don't fully close. (Photo).I'm guessing they were designed this way?It's actually very useful as it means all functions other than the cable shears, are available even with the lock on. It makes stripping and crimping a lot faster.The lock works equally well even if you're left handed like me. Just a quick flick of the thumb is all that's needed.Overall, this is another great, useful tool from Knipex. It won't always replace the individual purpose made tools, but on occasion, whilst stuck up a ladder for instance it can be invaluable.I hope you found this review helpful.

I resisted buying these installation pliers, as i have the individual Knipex tools; which are excellent. I also didn't particularly like the cumbersome handling of this combination tool. That was until I tried the sprung version, which for me is a game changer. The lock doesn't fully close these pliers; it allows them to open to about 2cm where they perform particularly effectively as electrical pliers. Flick-off the lock and you have croppers that can cut thick copper tails (Note: the handle says not to cut steel). It's a very nicely thought out combination tool that is comfortable to use and can handle most regular electrical installations without needing to change tools.

The Knipex Pliers for Electrical Installation are a must-have tool for any electrician or DIY enthusiast. The chrome-plated finish ensures durability and corrosion resistance, while the insulated handles provide safety during electrical work. The multi-component grips offer comfort and control, making tasks easier and more efficient. Overall, these pliers are a reliable and high-quality investment for any electrical installation job.

Honestly wasn’t sure if these were a bit of a gimmick but I’ve been very impressed. Started using these and found them to be my go to for clipping, stripping and crumpling as well as use as a pair of pliers. It’s allowed to be thin out my tool kit, by not needing separate side cutters, crimping tool and wire strippers. These are on the larger side but are too bulky so can easier carried in belt pouch or on your work trousers leg pocket whilst on site.

These pliers do the job well and the little thumb controll knob is used all day. Great but not perfect. The wire strippers work but not in tight situations. One of the best tools in the box. Just about worth the expensive cost.

These pliers are very well made and comfortable to use, which is very important when working all day. All the features worked just as expected and i would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. A great buy at a great price...thank you Amazon.

I look forward to using them . A great design, several tools in one without being to much

Already worked with them on different sites. Good and reliable product worth its priceVery nice use for bigger cable sizes, aspecialy for outer insulation.
