The KNIPEX 26 16 200 Snipe Nose Side Cutting Pliers, also known as Stork Beak Pliers, are precision tools designed for electricians and plumbers. These pliers feature half-round, long, and tapered jaws with elastic, distortion-tolerant precision tips, making them ideal for gripping, aligning, and cutting tasks in confined spaces. The cutting edges are induction-hardened to approximately 61 HRC, allowing them to cut soft, medium-hard, and hard wires up to 3.2 mm and 2.2 mm in diameter, respectively. Forged from vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened, the pliers are chrome-plated for enhanced corrosion resistance. The insulated multi-component handles are VDE-tested, ensuring safety during electrical work. The overall length of the pliers is 200 mm, with a weight of 206 g.
