KNIPEX - 13 88 8 US Knipex Tools LP - 13888US Electrical Installation Pliers Red/Yellow

you get fantastic quality and it costs more... but it is well worth it, if you plan on using this as a professional tool!

Excelentes en todo.

I ordered and received Knipex brand pliers (13888US 12-14 AWG version), made in Germany. These pliers are designed for installing electrical devices. I'm doing a fairly large, time consuming rewire project - adding outlets to existing circuits plus installing a few new runs. I needed insulated, longer less bulky pliers for wiring, particularly grounding conductors at the back of metal boxes and electric panels. These are similar in profile and overall length compared to US style linesman pliers, but are more refined, much lighter with a semi-needle nose jaw shape.The jaws are machined, aligned and finished well. The hinge opens and closes easily yet they stay closed when not in use (there is no spring or latch on this version). The tool is well proportioned and appears to be made from high quality forged tool steel. The plastic grips are very ergonomic with a solid feel. The material, fit and finish meet my expectations based on the product description and price. Overall impression is that these are well worth the money. If you are doing a lot of electrical work I highly recommend them.

Product is good.

There is a reason I buy Knipex products. They are simply the best quality pliers. I’ve had the cobra pliers for many years now. They are my go to have been for years now. I feel these insulation pliers are my new electrical go to tool. I have used them everyday for a week now. And love the flat not knurled tip. I ain’t tearing up the romex.
