The Knipex 09 02 240 T BK Lineman's Pliers are professional-grade cutting pliers designed for electricians and contractors working at height, featuring an integrated tether attachment point for fall protection systems. These lineman pliers deliver exceptional cutting performance with 50% less effort required compared to conventional combination pliers, thanks to their optimised high transmission ratio design. Built for heavy-duty applications, these pliers feature a solid construction capable of withstanding the most demanding working conditions.
