Knipex 180mm Combination Pliers (High Leverage)
Knipex 180mm high leverage combination pliers, VDE-insulated and individually tested to 10,000V for safe use to 1000V AC. The high leverage designation is not a marketing description, the optimised joint position delivers a measurable 35% reduction in the hand force required compared to a conventional combination pliers of the same length, while the cutting edge hardness is uprated to approximately 63 HRC for heavy-duty cutting performance. Combined with full VDE certification, this is the combination pliers specified when the work is live, the material is tough, and the tool needs to perform across gripping, cutting, bending, and pulling without compromise.

Knipex 180mm Combination Pliers (High Leverage)
- 35% less effort than conventional combination pliers — The optimised joint position increases mechanical advantage without increasing handle length; cutting a 2mm hard wire requires a hand force of 318N compared to 486N with a standard combination pliers of the same size — a difference that is felt immediately in use and cumulatively across a full working shift, particularly on heavier cable and harder materials
- 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; in live electrical working environments this is the certification that makes the difference between a safe tool and an unsafe one, and individual testing rather than batch approval means every tool has been verified in its own right
- Induction-hardened cutting edges at 63 HRC — The cutting edges are hardened beyond the standard combination pliers specification to approximately 63 HRC, matched to the heavier cutting demands the high leverage format enables; hard wire up to 2.5mm diameter, piano wire to 2.0mm, and stranded copper cable up to 16mm² are all within the cutting capacity of this tool
- Long cutting edges for thicker cable — The extended cutting edge length handles the thicker conductors and cables that come up in electrical installation work more comfortably than a standard jaw profile, with a minimal light gap between the jaws ensuring the cutting edges function correctly across the full jaw length
- Full combination format — gripping, cutting, bending, pulling — Gripping zones for both flat and round material cover the varied demands of electrical installation work; in live environments where switching between tools increases exposure time near live components, a single tool that handles all four functions is a practical safety consideration as much as a convenience
- Multi-component insulated handles — Dual-material VDE-rated handle construction provides secure grip in the dry, damp, and gloved conditions routine in electrical work; the insulation is integral to the handle construction and continuous along the working length rather than limited to the grip zone
