KNIPEX is giving merchants something special for the festive counter this year with the launch of its limited edition 200mm TwinGrip, a collector’s version of one of the brand’s most popular pliers.

Finished in grey atramentised steel with black slimline grips and bronze-coloured lettering, the TwinGrip limited edition combines KNIPEX precision with a distinctive look that stands out instantly on display.

Each pair is boxed in eye-catching seasonal packaging, giving merchants a ready-made gift opportunity for the trade. KNIPEX has also created a dedicated festive counter display in matching festive colours. Compact but striking, it holds up to 10 pairs and is designed to sit neatly on the trade counter where customers can see and handle the product.

The TwinGrip is one of KNIPEX’s most popular tools for a reason. Its unique front and side gripping jaws make light work of damaged screws and tricky fittings while the five-way adjustable slip joint with push-button control delivers a wide gripping range from 4 to 22mm.

A robust box joint gives long-lasting strength, a pinch stop protects fingers from slips and its narrow head design makes it easy to work in tight spaces where other pliers can’t reach. It’s a tool built for precision, strength and versatility.

With its striking packaging and proven performance, the limited edition TwinGrip is one product that won’t stay on the shelf for long.

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.
