An ideal pair of pliers for cable work, these Knipex Electricians Pliers (model 13 01 614) are ideal for cutting soft, medium, and hard wire with 10 to 14 AWG diameters. The cutting edges are induction hardened to approximately 60 HRC. It also features precision stripping holes for crimping end sleeves (ferrules), forged vanadium electric steel construction thats been oil-hardened, and heavy duty plastic-coated handle grips.
Crimping from 10 to 14 AWG (view larger).Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long lasting. Because we dont want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look.
The steel Knipex uses 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. But our high product demands require this.
The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. Thats why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied users are worth this effort.
Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.
