Knipex 13 01 160 csípőfogó

The Knipex 13 01 160 needle-nose pliers are designed for precise cable and wire work. Made from forged chromium-vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened for durability, these 160 mm pliers combine a slim profile with a comfortable plastic handle to enable accurate gripping, bending and cutting in confined spaces.

Advantages

These pliers feature precision cutting edges that are induction-hardened to approximately 60 HRC for long-lasting sharpness, precision stripping holes for reliable insulation removal and a dedicated area for crimping end sleeves (ferrules). The forged vanadium steel construction and oil hardening ensure strength and service life while the lightweight design (approx. 112 g) improves handling during extended use.

Suitable for

• Gripping and bending wires in tight spaces
• Cutting soft, medium and hard wire
• Stripping insulation from small conductors using precision stripping holes
• Crimping end sleeves (ferrules)

How to use

Use the slim jaws to reach into tight areas and grip or bend wires as required. Position the conductor in the precision cutting edges to cut soft, medium or hard wire; avoid cutting hardened steel beyond the tool's rating. For insulation removal, place the wire in the appropriate stripping hole and close the handles to remove insulation cleanly. To crimp end sleeves, insert the ferrule into the crimping area and compress the handles firmly until the sleeve is secured.

Recommendations

Do not use these pliers on live electrical circuits. Keep cutting edges clean and free of debris; lubricate pivot occasionally for smooth action. Replace the tool if cutting edges become chipped or excessively worn.
