Knipex 26 11 Long Nose Side Cutting Pliers

The Knipex 26 11 Long Nose Side Cutting Pliers are precision snipe nose pliers designed for gripping, bending and cutting tasks in confined spaces. Featuring elastic precision tips that remain dimensionally stable even when twisted, these pliers deliver reliable performance for electricians, electronics technicians and maintenance professionals working with wire and small components. The half-round, long tapered jaws provide excellent access in tight areas whilst maintaining strength at the joint. Cutting edges are additionally induction-hardened to approximately 61 HRC, enabling the pliers to cut soft, medium-hard wire up to 3.2mm diameter and hard wire up to 2.2mm diameter. The distortion-tolerant elastic tips resist deformation during demanding use, ensuring consistent accuracy over the tool's lifespan. Ideal for electrical installation work, control cabinet assembly and precision engineering applications where accurate wire manipulation and cutting in restricted spaces is required. The straight jaw configuration and slim profile make these pliers particularly suitable for accessing recessed terminals and working around circuit boards or other delicate components.
