Knipex Insulated Hand Tools
Knipex 1000V Insulated Hand Tools
Nearly every tool in this Knipex collection is insulated for 1000V work, so check the title for the rating. Pliers include combination, high leverage combination, needle-nose combination, long nose with cutter, diagonal cutters, Electronics Super Knips, and a tethered Cobra High-Tech water pump plier. Cable and wire tools include forged and end-type strippers, cable shears, the StepCut XL, and the 6-in-1 electrical installation pliers. Screwdriver sets, a dismantling knife, all-plastic pliers, and 5 and 7-piece pliers and screwdriver sets in nylon pouches round out the range.
What to Look For
- Build a kit. The 5 and 7-piece sets cover the basics in one purchase. Add strippers or cable shears for your trade.
- All-plastic pliers. The 98 62 flat nose and long nose plastic pliers have no exposed metal for adjusting parts near live conductors.
- Cable size. StepCut XL and twin-edge cable shears handle larger cable than diagonal cutters.
- Tethering. Tethered versions add an attachment point for work at height.

Knipex Insulated Hand Tools FAQ
Do insulated tools replace de-energizing a circuit?
No. Insulated tools are an added layer of protection. Follow your site's lockout and live work rules, wear proper PPE, and inspect the insulation for cuts or cracks before each use.
What warranty covers Knipex insulated tools?
Knipex tools carry a lifetime limited warranty against defects in material or workmanship for the original end-user purchaser. Claims require proof of purchase and an RGA. Abuse, alteration, accident, and tools worn out by use are excluded.
