Description

The KNIPEX 200MM Snipe Nose 40° Side Cutting Pliers (26 22 200) feature the unique advantage of jaws angled at 40° to the handle axis — allowing the user to reach around obstructions and access fasteners, conductors, or components that are offset from the direct working angle. This angular geometry is particularly valuable in panel and enclosure work where cable runs or cable ducts obstruct the direct approach to terminal connections.
The angled jaw design does not compromise the gripping quality or cutting performance of the pliers — the precision-tapered half-round jaws grip securely in the same range of applications as the straight versions, and the induction-hardened side cutters maintain the same 61 HRC edge quality. Three-component KNIPEXTEND comfort handles provide ergonomic support and tether interface points.
For electricians who regularly work in dense, complex panel layouts, the 40° angled variant provides a distinct productivity advantage by enabling comfortable access to connections that would otherwise require awkward wrist positioning or manoeuvring of other tools out of the way.
