Knipex 97 52 05 fogó

The Knipex 97 52 05 pliers are crimping pliers designed for solder-free electrical connections. Made from oil‑hardened chrome vanadium electric steel with ergonomically shaped red plastic handles, they measure 250 mm and weigh 572 g. These pliers feature an angled head and a well‑balanced centre of gravity to improve handling and leverage for a range of network and electrical tasks.

Advantages

The lever transmission reduces required hand force by up to 30% compared with regular crimping pliers, and precision dies together with an integral self‑releasing lock ensure consistent crimping quality. Crimping pressure is factory calibrated and can be readjusted if needed. Two‑hand operation supports crimping of larger conductor diameters while the durable chrome vanadium construction provides long service life.

Suitable for

• Crimping insulated and non‑insulated connectors for electrical and network installations
• Field service and on‑site cable work where solder‑free connections are required
• Professional and DIY network toolkits for reliable connector joints

How to use

Select the correct die for the connector and insert the stripped conductor fully into the terminal. Position the connector in the crimping dies, close the handles until the self‑releasing mechanism completes the crimp, and release. For large conductors use both hands to operate the pliers to ensure even pressure and a secure crimp.

Recommendations

Inspect dies and connectors before use and recalibrate crimping pressure if necessary. Keep the pliers clean and lightly lubricated on the pivot; store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
