Answers to frequently asked questions

Why is the pointed shape of pliers useful in mechanical and automotive work?

The pointed shape with a 45° angle allows easy access to tight, cramped places that are often inaccessible with regular pliers, making them ideal for working with wires or small components.

Are these pliers also suitable for electrical work?

Yes, the precise tip and robust construction also allow them to be used for electrical connections or repairs, but the pliers are not insulated, so they are not suitable for working under voltage.

What does “mechanical/automotive use” mean with these pliers?

This means that the pliers are designed for everyday work when servicing cars, machines or other mechanical devices where precision, strength and durability are required.

How to maintain Knipex assembly pliers so that they last a long time?

After each use, we recommend wiping the tool with a dry or slightly damp cloth and, if necessary, lightly oiling the moving parts to ensure smooth and long-lasting operation.
