Proven robust construction: Knipex crimping pliers 97 81 180
V-shaped crimping die – front loading for wire-end ferrules, 0.5 to 6 mm²
The Knipex 97 81 180 crimping pliers with the V-shaped longitudinal crimping die for front loading is particularly useful if you can only reach the single wires from the front. The wires and the wire-end ferrules on them are inserted into the pliers at the front and crimped. It is possible to crimp in this position even in tight spaces.
Forged and hardened using special tool steel
The Knipex 97 81 180 crimping pliers are made to last. They are forged from special tool steel and precisely shaped through milling processes. The transverse grooves in the crimping die effectively profile the wire-end ferrules during crimping so that standard extraction forces are always achieved.
