## Overview

The KNIPEX High Leverage Lineman's Pliers (9.5") feature a revolutionary ultra-high leverage design that reduces cutting effort by 25%. Crafted with precision induction hardened steel (64 HRC), these pliers deliver long-lasting, razor-sharp cutting edges capable of slicing through soft, hard, and ACSR wires up to 4.6 mm. Enhanced with multi-zone serrated gripping surfaces and an oval-shaped recess, they provide superior control on thick, round, or oval cables. Ergonomic dual-component handles ensure comfort during extended use, while the innovative jaw design doubles as a conduit deburring tool—making this a must-have for professional electricians and maintenance managers aiming to boost efficiency and reliability.

## Description

Product Description KNIPEX Tools has completely redesigned our Lineman’s Pliers series to make them easier to cut with, saving you time and energy. The rivet has been reduced in size and moved closer to the jaws to create an ultra-high leverage design for 25% easier cutting power. Additionally, the recess on the back now has an oval shaped design which works better on thicker, round or oval shaped cable. The design also has created a great way to deburr conduit pipes; open the jaws slightly for a round shape and insert the conduit. This new lineman’s design is not only making this product more competitive in the market but it is going to become the new design to beat! With carded packaging. From the Manufacturer The high leverage New England style linesman pliers require 40% less effort due to the lever action. Additional gripping zone below the articulated joint for powerful leverage and pressing performance. Effective crosswise serrated gripping zone in the jaws for strong gripping and pulling. The cutting edges are an approximate 64 HRC and will cut through soft and hard wire. The cutting capacities are 4.6 mm for medium hard wire and 3.0 mm for hard wire.

Review: Heavy-Duty, high leverage, cross hatch gripping teeth - It’s hard to comment on something that has so many positive reviews, but allow me try. These are probably the best lineman’s pliers on the market. But what about Klein? Klein pliers are absolutely top tier industrial use products, but I still find Knipex heat treatment and fit-and-finish to be superior. Plus, the Made-In-Germany Gucci factor cant be undervalued. The grips are extremely comfortable and should hopefully resist the chemicals commonly found in workshops and worksites. The high leverage cutting edges slice through Romex like butter. The cross-hatched gripping teeth hold tight and don’t let go. I should mention my pair falls open easily and required no oil or break-in period. I purchased this pair for my father, who has always appreciated the value of good tools as much as me. If you’re looking for heavy duty pliers that last longer and work better, and can afford the premium price, I highly recommend Knipex. I’ve bought perhaps 10 Knipex products and have never regretted purchasing any of them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pliers for any electrician

Best side cutters for the money

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite side cutter so far
*by J***N on September 25, 2024*

Use these daily. I like this model with the grip in the center vs the fish tape puller or crimper. Just preference there. I usually buy a new pair every few years as I want easy cutting of 12/2 mc and all cutters dull with use. These come fairly broken in and only need a smidge of lube to feel like my old pair of Kleins after years of use. I do prefer Klein diagonals as the larger knipex have rounded noses. This is a solid choice for side cutting pliers.
