Pliers Knipex 13 96 200 T Maximum pipe diameter 1.5 cm

The Knipex 13 96 200 T pliers are precision hand tools designed for reliable handling of pipes up to 1.5 cm in diameter. Constructed from high-strength steel with a plastic-coated handle, these pliers combine compact dimensions with a focused gripping profile for small-diameter pipe work. With overall dimensions of 200 mm length, 65 mm width and 28 mm height, the tool is suitable for tasks in confined spaces and for detailed mechanical or plumbing operations.

Advantages

These pliers deliver stable gripping force and precise control for small pipe diameters while maintaining user comfort thanks to the plastic handle. The steel construction provides durability and wear resistance for regular professional or DIY use. Their compact size and slim head improve access in tight areas where larger pipe pliers cannot reach. The tool’s balanced weight and ergonomic shape reduce hand fatigue during repetitive operations.

Suitable for

• Holding and manipulating pipes and tubes with diameters up to 1.5 cm
• Plumbing repair and installation in confined spaces
• Precision mechanical work and assembly tasks
• DIY projects requiring controlled grip on small components

Key specifications

• Maximum pipe diameter capacity: 1.5 cm
• Material: high-strength steel body with plastic-coated handle
• Overall length: 200 mm
• Width: 65 mm
• Height: 28 mm
• Compact head profile for access in tight spaces
• Designed for precision gripping and manipulation

How to use

Position the pliers so the pipe or component to be held sits securely between the jaws and apply steady pressure to obtain a firm grip. For plumbing tasks, align the jaws with the tube axis to avoid crushing soft materials and use controlled force appropriate to the material being worked on. When working in restricted areas, orient the slim head to access the workpiece and maintain a stable hand position to prevent slippage. After use, wipe the pliers clean and store them in a dry environment to protect the steel surface.

Recommendations

Use these pliers only on pipes and components within the specified maximum diameter (1.5 cm). Do not use the tool as a hammer or for prying heavy objects. Regularly inspect the jaws and handle for wear or damage and keep the pliers clean and lightly oiled to extend service life.
