Description

The KNIPEX 180MM High Leverage Combination Pliers (02 02 180) represent a step-change in cutting and gripping efficiency for professional electricians and tradespeople. Engineered with an optimised lever geometry, these pliers require 35% less hand force than conventional combination pliers — a significant advantage during long working days or when dealing with tough materials.
Forged from special tool steel and oil-hardened, the pliers feature induction-hardened cutting edges at approximately 63 HRC for exceptional durability and clean cuts through copper cable, busbars, and hard wire. The long cutting edges accommodate thicker cables while the precision jaw geometry ensures minimal light gap for optimal function. Dual gripping zones handle both flat and round materials securely.
At 180mm in length, this model is suited for general electrical work in panels and enclosures. The three-component KNIPEXTEND comfort handles provide ergonomic support with two interface points for tool tethering or extensions — making them compatible with KNIPEX’s height-safety accessories for working at elevation.
