Knipex 160mm Flat Nose Pliers
Knipex 160mm flat nose pliers, VDE-insulated and individually tested to 10,000V for safe use to 1000V AC. The flat nose format — short, wide, flat jaws with knurled gripping surfaces — is the specialist pliers type for gripping, holding, and manipulating components, terminals, and conductors where the broad jaw face distributes grip pressure evenly without the marking or deformation that round or long nose jaws would cause. In a VDE-rated format this is the tool for exactly that work in live electrical environments — holding terminals, positioning components, and manipulating fittings safely where uninsulated tools are not acceptable.

Knipex 160mm Flat Nose Pliers
- VDE certified to 1000V — individually tested — Full VDE certification with individual testing to 10,000V for safe use to 1000V AC, conforming to DIN EN/IEC 60900; the certification that makes this the correct flat nose pliers for live electrical working environments rather than a standard uninsulated tool used where it shouldn't be
- Flat, short, wide jaw profile for positive grip — The short wide jaw geometry distributes grip pressure broadly across the workpiece rather than concentrating it at a point; for holding terminals, gripping flat conductors, positioning components, and manipulating electrical fittings, the flat jaw face provides the controlled, even grip that other pliers profiles can't match without causing damage
- Knurled gripping surfaces for secure hold — The knurled jaw faces bite into the workpiece surface firmly without requiring excessive closing force; in electrical work where the component being held is often small, fragile, or needs to be positioned precisely before the grip is fully applied, the knurling maintains hold without crushing
- 30mm jaw length and 17mm head width — The jaw dimensions are well matched to the terminal blocks, cable lugs, component leads, and electrical fittings that flat nose pliers are most commonly used on in electrical installation and panel building work; compact enough to work in congested enclosures without the jaw body obstructing adjacent components
- Chrome vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened — Manufactured from chrome vanadium electric steel, forged and multi-stage oil-hardened for the strength, rigidity, and durability that professional daily use demands; the chrome-plated head finish resists corrosion across the working life of the tool
- Multi-component insulated handles — Dual-material VDE-rated handle construction for secure, comfortable grip in the dry, damp, and gloved conditions routine in electrical work; the insulation is integral and continuous, maintaining the 1000V rating comprehensively rather than at the grip zone alone
