Pliers for Electrical Installation, VDE, Opening Spring, for Cutting Cable, Wire Stripping, Crimping, Gripping, Bending, 13 96 200

These cutters are actually one of my favourite in the toolkit for cutting! Usually I do everything with my standard pliers including stripping. Tried these and there just to sharp and damage the inner sheath. Can be careful but cold pvc is tougher and still cuts into the single insulators. Perfect for cutting through cable even 6mm was a breeze. Overall id get another pair as they do come in handy for meter tails to

I was sceptical of using combination electrician's pliers but after using this it's winning me over. The usual Knipex quality shines through and I can't fault the engineering or finish. In use the cutting blade is sharp and produces clean cuts. On T&E cable I found it very easy to do a partial cut just sufficient to score the outer insulation without damaging the individual wire insulation. The cable stripper function is very clean and efficient. The slim plier tips are partly smooth, becoming ridged further down, and offer good grip and agility. The crimp is basic but functional. The thumb operated lock mechanism is easy to operate and prevents the pliers springing open and closes the cutting edge whilst leaving other functions usable. Overall, these are comfortable to use and perfect for anyone doing electrical work day in, day out.

Amazing tool, has made my electronics course so much easier for doing installations. Quality and comfortable to use for the whole day.

Very good product and good value for money 💰

These are a great all in one tool for building PLC panels, as you can do the majority of wiring with just this tool and a terminal driver, easy to use with all of the options, very sharp cut right through all cables (i've cut up to 6mm with ease) Knipex always have a nice comfortable grip and seem to be long lasting as i've been using them for over 6 months without issue. A very versatile product, although expensive it works out cheaper than buying everything they can do seperately!

The wonders of this tool are well rehearsed and needn't be repeated here. It's well made and works well, covering a lot of bases. I bought this particular version due to the much-needed price advantage, but money no object I'd prefer it without the spring. I've seen it going for silly money though. It's a nice tool but anything over £40 is just silly.

Brilliant tool I use this everyday

These are not inexpensive, but they are really well made. I have used them to cut through 70mm welding cable and it sliced it cleanly with ease. Wire strippers are useful and they have lots of leverage for holding and manipulating wire. These will last for years unlike cheaper products.
