Description

The KNIPEX 1000V Long Nose Pliers (26 16 200) combine the precision long-reach jaw of the 26 series with full VDE 1000V insulation, providing a certified live-working tool for gripping and cutting in confined spaces within energised electrical systems. Individually tested at 10,000V to DIN EN IEC 60900, these pliers are approved for live-working operations up to 1000V AC.
The VDE multi-component insulated handles in the iconic yellow-red colouration provide both the required dielectric barrier and a comfortable, ergonomic grip. The precision half-round jaw reaches into terminal areas and recessed spaces that full-sized combination pliers cannot access, while the integrated side cutter handles conductor and wire cutting.
The 26 16 200 is a core live-working tool for electricians who regularly perform maintenance and installation tasks inside energised distribution boards, motor control centres, and switchgear. Its slim jaw profile and certified insulation make it indispensable in environments where working dead is not possible.
