The KNIPEX VDE-tested snipe nose side cutting pliers are designed for installation, assembly and cutting tasks – their long, slender tips give professionals all the control and safety required for working in tight spaces.

These pliers are known as ‘stork beak pliers for a reason – forged and oil-hardened, they have very long, narrow, half round jaws with a 40º angle at the tip to get easily into awkward spaces. The elastic precision tips are distortion-resistant and won’t buckle even under strong twisting forces, making them ideal for gripping, inserting and cutting in confined spaces such as control cabinets, machines and junction boxes.

The induction hardened cutting edges are shaped for a pierced cut, making them highly efficient for both soft and hard wires. The cutting-edge position near the joint improves force transmission, so you get an impressive cutting performance with minimal effort across different wire types.

The KNIPEX snipe nose side cutting pliers are finished in chrome for corrosion resistance and have insulated, multi-component grips for comfortable handling. They are VDE tested so comply with safety standards for electrical work. The pliers are also available as part of KNIPEX’s Tethered Tools range.
