KNIPEX
KNIPEX, founded in 1882 in Wuppertal, Germany, is a manufacturer of pliers, cutters, and wrenches for industrial and professional use. The company’s product line includes over 1,000 tool variants, with a focus on forged steel construction, precision cutting edges, and ergonomic handle designs. KNIPEX tools are used in electrical installation, plumbing, automotive repair, and general maintenance applications. Key product families include combination pliers, diagonal cutters, end cutting nippers, cable cutters, pipe wrenches, and bolt cutters. Tools are available with multi-component handles for grip comfort, induction-hardened cutting edges for durability, and finishes such as chrome plating or black oxide for corrosion resistance. Specifications commonly include jaw width, overall length, maximum cutting capacity for wire or cable, and head offset angles for wrenches. KNIPEX tools are rated for cutting materials such as copper, aluminum, steel, and data cables, with some models featuring ratcheting mechanisms for reduced effort. 3G Electric stocks over 200 SKUs of KNIPEX tools, including ratcheting cable cutters (e.g., MPN 95 32 038 for data cable up to 1 1/2 in diameter), end cutting pliers (e.g., MPN 50 01 225 with 8 7/8 in length), box end wrenches (e.g., MPN 98 01 14 with 14 mm head size), precision nippers (e.g., MPN 99 14 300 with 11 13/16 in length), bolt cutters (e.g., MPN 71 01 160 for 3/16 in soft steel), and Swedish pipe wrenches (e.g., MPN 83 30 010 with 1 5/8 in jaw capacity). 3G Electric provides global logistics support, enabling procurement of these tools for plant maintenance, electrical contracting, and industrial assembly operations. The selection covers general-purpose nippers, miniature cutters, and specialized ratcheting tools, with specifications available for material compatibility and dimensional requirements.
