Description
Knipex 0911240 9-1/2″ (240mm) Lineman’s Pliers
The Ultimate Workhorse for Modern Electricians.
The Knipex 09 11 240 Lineman’s Pliers are engineered to handle the heaviest mechanical strains while saving your hands from fatigue. Thanks to an optimized transmission ratio, these pliers require 50% less effort to cut through medium and hard wire compared to conventional combination pliers. The "New England" style head is drop-forged from high-grade vanadium electric steel, ensuring it won't flex or fail under industrial-grade torque.
This isn't just a cutting tool; it's a multi-functional powerhouse. It features a patented fish tape puller integrated into the joint gap and a universal mandrel crimping point below the joint. The cross-hatched knurled gripping zone provides a surgical bite for pulling and twisting, while the induction-hardened edges (approx. 64 HRC) allow you to slice through ACSR and piano wire with ease.
Key Performance Features:
- High-Leverage Design: Requires 50% less hand force, making it ideal for repetitive high-volume electrical installations.
- 3-in-1 Functionality: Built-in fish tape puller and crimping area save time and reduce the number of tools you need to carry.
- Precision Cutting: Induction-hardened edges stay sharp longer, even when cutting hard wire up to 3.0 mm (1/8").
- Powerful Gripping: Effective cross-hatched knurled jaws ensure a slip-free hold on wire and fasteners.
- Industrial Durability: Forged and multi-stage oil-hardened steel construction designed for the heaviest strain.
- Ergonomic Handles: Non-slip plastic coating provides a firm, fatigue-reducing grip for all-day use.
