Knipex 98 62 01 Insulated Flat Nose Pliers 180 Mm

Product Description

The KNIPEX 98 62 01 is an insulated flat nose plier designed for electrical work where protection against live conductors is required. The long nose head provides access in tight spaces, and the ergonomic plastic grip handles reduce hand fatigue during extended use. Rated to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 insulation standards, this plier is built for safe operation in environments where short circuit risk must be minimized. Overall length is 180 mm (approximately 7.1 inches). Licensed electricians and meter technicians are the primary users for this tool.

This plier is suited for meter assembly and meter blocking operations, as well as general electrical service work where insulated hand tools are required by code or job site policy. The long nose head style allows work in confined panel sections and terminal areas. The insulated construction reduces the risk of short circuit when working near energized components. It is appropriate for both residential and commercial electrical applications where IEC 60900-rated tools are specified.

Key Features

• Insulated to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 standards for live-work safety
• Long nose head style for access in confined spaces and tight terminal areas
• Ergonomic red plastic handle for improved grip and reduced hand fatigue
• Designed specifically for meter assembly and meter blocking tasks
• Reduces risk of short circuit when working near energized conductors
• No side cutter, straight jaw with 0-degree bend for precision gripping

Compatibility

Designed as an insulated flat nose plier for use in electrical meter assembly, meter blocking, and general low-voltage electrical service applications where IEC 60900-rated tools are required.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by qualified electricians and meter technicians. Always verify that the insulation is undamaged before working near energized conductors. Inspect the handle and jaw area for cracks, cuts, or compromised insulation prior to each use. Follow applicable NEC requirements and job site safety protocols when working on or near live electrical equipment.
