Tång Knipex 97 52 13

Pliers Knipex 97 52 13 are crimping pliers designed for solder-free electrical connections. Made from chrome vanadium electric steel with oil hardening, they feature an angled head, ergonomically shaped handles with red plastic grip, and a well-balanced centre of gravity for comfortable handling. The tool measures 250 mm in length and weighs 0.558 kg, providing reliable grip and leverage for professional and DIY tasks.

Advantages

The lever transmission reduces required hand force by up to 30% compared with regular crimping pliers. Precision dies and an integral self-releasing mechanism ensure repetitive, high-quality crimps. Crimping pressure is factory-calibrated and can be re-adjusted. Two-hand operation allows easy crimping of larger conductor diameters, while the angled head and ergonomic handles improve access and control.

Suitable for

• Crimping insulated and non-insulated electrical connectors
• Solder-free electrical connections in installation and repair work
• Use by electricians and technicians for reliable terminal connections
• Professional and DIY network and electrical tasks requiring precise crimps

How to use

Place the connector and conductor into the appropriate crimping die, position the tool so the angled head provides clear access, and squeeze the handles until the self-releasing mechanism activates. For large conductors, use two-hand operation to complete the crimp. If needed, adjust the factory-set crimping pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions before use.

Recommendations

Inspect the pliers before use and keep dies clean and free of debris. Do not exceed the recommended conductor sizes for the crimping dies. Store the tool dry and apply light lubrication to the pivot occasionally to maintain smooth lever action.
