Tool Identity
The Knipex 99 01 220 is an 8.7" end-cutting nipper designed for tradespeople who need to cut wire or sheet metal flush against a surface without damaging adjacent material. Its high-grade special tool steel construction resists rust and corrosion for lasting reliability on site.
Upgrade Context
This nipper replaces standard side cutters or linesman pliers when a flush, end-cutting action is required to leave a clean, flat finish on protruding fasteners or wire ends. The jump is worth it for concrete reinforcement work, electrical finishing or any task where a standard cutter leaves a sharp burr or cannot reach the cut point.
Fitment Check
Verify that the 8.7" overall length provides sufficient leverage for the gauge of metal you typically cut and that the plastic-coated handle grip suits your preference for comfort and visibility in a tool bag. Ensure the end-cutting jaw geometry matches the access space around the workpiece you encounter most often.

Questions about this item
What is the overall length of the 99 01 220 nippers?
The overall length is 8.7 inches, making them a mid-size option for cutting wire and sheet metal.
How should I position the flush cutting edge during installation to avoid damaging adjacent surfaces?
Align the flush cutting edge flat against the workpiece so the jaws close squarely; angling the tool is the common mistake that leaves marks.
Will the plastic-coated handle need replacement if the coating wears through?
The handle is plastic-coated steel; if the coating wears, the steel core remains functional, but the grip comfort will decrease.
