Knipex Snipe Nose Radio Pliers 160mm

The Knipex Snipe Nose Side Cutting Pliers (Part Number 25 02 160), also known as Radio Pliers, are a versatile tool designed for both precise gripping and powerful cutting. Engineered from forged vanadium electric steel, these pliers feature pointed, half-round jaws that are tapered to access tight spaces, making them ideal for delicate assembly work or electrical installations.

Beyond their gripping capabilities, these pliers are equipped with robust cutting edges suitable for soft, medium-hard, and hard wire. The blades have been induction hardened to approximately 61 HRC, ensuring they retain their sharpness and durability over extended professional use. Finished with a black atramentized head and polished tips, the tool is fitted with ergonomic multi-component grips that provide superior comfort and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. Whether you are an electrician, technician, or serious DIYer, the Knipex 25 02 160 delivers the “Excellence by Design” reliability expected from German engineering.
