The Knipex 03 06 180 combination pliers are forged from special tool steel and oil-hardened in several stages. The cutting edges are also induction hardened and have a hardness of approx. 60 HRC and cut multi-core copper cables up to 16 mm². The combination pliers have different gripping areas for flat and round material. The insulated handles are particularly non-slip and comfortable thanks to the multi-component coatings. Knipex tools with the special 1000 V symbol are approved for work up to 1000 volts AC. To ensure that the special insulation can actually withstand the voltage, each tool is subjected to a dielectric test with 10,000 V AC.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Are these combination pliers suitable for cutting hard wires?

Yes, the Knipex 03 06 180 has extremely durable cutters that allow you to reliably cut both soft and harder wires, including medium-hard wire and hard steel in common diameters.

How long are the pliers and are they suitable for working in confined spaces?

The pliers are 180 mm long, making them compact enough to work in confined spaces, while still providing good leverage for most standard tasks at home or in the workshop.

Is the handle of the pliers insulated for electrical work?

The pliers have a two-component handle, but are not certified as a protective insulating tool for working under voltage. We recommend using specially insulated pliers when working on live electrical installations.

How do I maintain my pliers to ensure they last a long time?

After use, wipe the pliers, remove any dirt with a cloth, and occasionally apply a drop of oil to the moving parts. This will ensure smooth opening and prevent corrosion.
