KNIPEX 09 12 240 SBA 9.5-Inch Lineman's Pliers with Fish Tape Puller and Crimper

KNIPEX Tools has completely redesigned their 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.

The Knipex New England-style lineman's pliers feature a high leverage design that requires 40 percent less effort compared to conventional combination pliers. It offers a cable puller in the joint gap and with universal mandrel crimping point below the joint. The cross-hatched serrated gripping zone provides firm gripping and pulling (such as for fencing applications). Other features include a gripping zone below the joint for powerful leverage, long cutting edges for cutting flat cables, a fish tape puller in the joint gap, and a crimping area blow the joint. The cutting edges are induction hardened, with a cutting edge hardness of approximately 64 HRC. These pliers come with comfort grip handles with a wider grip.

Knipex takes a meticulous approach to ensuring the quality and performance of their pliers. The steel they use 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. The rivet of their high-leverage diagonal cutter is also forged straight onto the pliers, which requires extra effort to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters, but ensures it can withstand a lot of stress.

Knipex also pays close attention to the small details, such as the angles, sharpness, hardness, and toughness of the cutting edges, the precision and smooth movement of the joint, the handle design, and the overall finish. They continuously review these aspects, research, test, and improve their pliers to meet the high expectations of professional users.

Headquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, Knipex is an independently-owned family enterprise that has been specializing in the manufacturing of high-quality pliers since 1882. The world's leading brand in pliers today, Knipex is focused on the performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools to ensure they exceed the demands of their customers.
