Knipex 13 81 Electrical Installation Pliers

The Knipex 13 81 Electrical Installation Pliers are professional multi-functional pliers designed specifically for electrical installation work, combining six essential tools into one compact design. These versatile pliers streamline electrical work by integrating gripping, bending, deburring, cable cutting, wire stripping, and crimping capabilities. The smooth surfaces near the tips are engineered to grip single cores without causing damage, whilst serrated gripping surfaces and pipe grip provide secure handling of both flat and round materials. A clear-cut outside edge on the gripping surfaces enables precise work on flush-mounted junction boxes and deburring of feed-through holes. Built for precision electrical work, the pliers feature dedicated stripping holes for conductors of 0.75mm², 1.5mm², and 2.5mm² cross-sections. The integrated crimping die accommodates wire ferrules from 0.5mm² to 2.5mm², and the cable shears incorporate induction-hardened precision cutting edges capable of cutting copper and aluminium cables up to 5 x 2.5mm² or Ø 15mm diameter. The slim profile design allows easy access in confined spaces, whilst the bolted joint construction ensures precise, zero-backlash operation for consistent performance. These characteristics make the pliers ideal for electricians working on domestic installations, control panel wiring, and general electrical maintenance tasks. Features and Benefits: • Six functions in one tool reduces the need to carry multiple implements • Smooth tip surfaces prevent damage to single core conductors • Induction-hardened cutting edges for durability and clean cuts • Bolted joint construction ensures precise operation without play • Slim dimensions provide access to restricted areas Specifications: Cutting capacity copper cable, multiple-stranded: Ø 15mm Cutting capacity copper cable, multiple-stranded: 50mm² Stripping capacity for cross-sections: 0.75 — 1.5mm² / 2.5mm² Crimping capacity: 0.5 — 2.5mm² AWG: 1 / 0
