Knipex 8" Needle Nose Pliers
This Knipex needle nose plier measures eight inches overall with a jaw length of two and seven-eighths inches. The red plastic coated handles provide a secure grip and protect against slippage during use. It is designed for precision gripping and cutting tasks in electrical and mechanical work. Integrated wire stripping function adds versatility for electricians and technicians.
Vanadium Steel Construction Limits
The tool is forged from vanadium electric steel for enhanced durability and cutting performance. Jaws are aligned at zero degrees to cut wire cleanly without damaging the conductor or insulation. Side cutting capacity is defined by the jaw geometry and material hardness. Users should match wire gauge to the plier's profile to avoid premature wear.
Coated Handles and Integrated Stripper
Red plastic coated handles improve daily comfort and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. The coating also serves as a visual indicator for quick identification in a crowded tool bag. An integrated wire stripper in the handle eliminates the need for a separate tool when preparing conductors. Vanadium steel jaws maintain alignment after extended use in professional environments.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 26 11 200 model or a different Knipex needle nose plier?
The 26 11 200 is an 8-inch snipe nose side cutting plier with integrated wire stripping and red plastic coated handles for grip. Other Knipex models vary in jaw shape, length or cutting capacity, so match the 2 7/8 inch jaw and side cutter to your task.
What does the 8 inch overall length mean when I use the tool?
The 8 inch length gives you extended reach into tight spaces while the 2 7/8 inch jaw provides precise grip on small components. The side cutting edges let you cut wire without switching tools, and the coated handles reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use.
How does the vanadium electric steel construction affect durability?
Vanadium electric steel is forged and oil-hardened for high wear resistance and toughness. It keeps the cutting edges sharp longer than standard tool steel and withstands repeated cutting and bending loads without deformation, making the plier suitable for daily professional use.
