Knipex 26 18 200 Us Diagonal Cutting Plier 8 in Insulated

Product Description

The KNIPEX 26 18 200 US is an insulated diagonal cutting plier built for electricians and other trade professionals who need precise, controlled cuts in tight spaces. The long nose head with bevel cutting style allows access to confined areas where standard diagonal cutters cannot reach. At 8 inches overall length, it delivers ultra high leverage for clean cuts through wire and cable. The jaw is half round in profile with a 2-15/16 inch jaw length, and the maximum cutting capacity is 0.125 inches. The steel body is paired with red and yellow insulated handles rated to meet ASTM F1505 standards, making this tool appropriate for electrical work near energized circuits.

This plier is suited for residential and commercial electrical applications where insulated tooling is required or preferred. Typical uses include cutting wire leads, trimming component pins, and working inside control panels, junction boxes, or terminal enclosures. The long nose geometry is especially useful in low-voltage control wiring and panel work where clearances are tight and cut placement must be accurate.

Key Features

• Insulated handles meet ASTM F1505 standards for electrical work near energized conductors
• Long nose head style with bevel cutting edge for precision cuts in confined areas
• Ultra high leverage cutting geometry reduces hand fatigue on repetitive cuts
• Half round jaw profile with 2-15/16 inch jaw length for extended reach
• Maximum jaw opening capacity of 0.125 inches suitable for small-gauge wire and leads
• Steel body construction for durability in daily trade use

Compatibility

Designed as an insulated diagonal cutting plier for general electrical and low-voltage wiring applications requiring ASTM F1505 compliant hand tools.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by licensed electricians and qualified trade professionals. Before working on any circuit, de-energize and verify the circuit is dead using a calibrated voltage tester even when using insulated tools. Insulated handles reduce risk but do not eliminate it when working near live conductors. Inspect the handle insulation for cracks or damage before each use and remove the tool from service if the insulation is compromised.
