KNIPEX 26 11 200 Long Nose Pliers with Cutter – 8-Inch, Precision German Tool

Overview

Meet the KNIPEX 26 11 200 Long Nose Pliers with Cutter, an 8-inch precision tool designed for tight spaces and demanding bending tasks. The slim, elongated nose combined with hardened cutting edges offers a blend of finesse and strength, helping you tackle wire work with confidence without sacrificing control.

Precision that holds its line

Elastic tips provide stability even when the tips twist or torque under load, while distortion-tolerant, flexible precision tips keep the lines accurate. The snipe nose design, often called stork beak pliers, pairs with half-round, long jaws to reach into cramped panels and align components with minimal effort.

• Elastic tips; stable even when twisted.
• Distortion-tolerant, flexible precision tips.
• Snipe nose side cutting pliers for clean, controlled cuts.
• Half-round, long, pointed jaws with serrated gripping surfaces.
• Hardened cutting edges approx 61 HRC for soft, medium hard, and hard wire.
• Slim long nose ideal for working in confined areas.
• Vanadium steel; forged, multi stage oil-hardened.

Construction and quality

Designed to balance strength with comfort, these pliers are forged from vanadium steel and finished with a multi stage oil hardening process. Induction hardened edges maximize edge retention for days of use in tough tasks. The design emphasizes hand-friendly ergonomics and reliable leverage.
