Pliers Knipex 50 01 210 Maximum pipe diameter 2.2 mm

The Knipex 50 01 210 pliers are precision hand tools intended for work with pipes and tubes up to a maximum diameter of 2.2 mm. Constructed from durable metal with ergonomically shaped plastic handles, these pliers combine strength and control in a compact 210 mm length. Their slim profile and measured dimensions make them suitable for tight spaces and fine assembly tasks where reliable gripping and manipulation of small-diameter tubing is required.

Advantages

These pliers provide accurate handling of small-diameter pipes thanks to a design that balances rigidity and tactile feedback. The metal work surfaces deliver long-term wear resistance while the plastic handles reduce hand fatigue and improve grip stability during repetitive operations. The 210 mm overall length gives a good balance between reach and control, and the narrow jaw profile allows access to confined areas often encountered in precise plumbing, instrumentation, or model-making tasks.

Suitable for

• Precision plumbing and micro-piping work
• Instrument assembly and repair
• Hobby and model construction involving small tubing
• Laboratory and prototype setups with fine tubing connections

Key specifications

• Maximum pipe/tube diameter: 2.2 mm
• Overall length: 210 mm
• Width: 92 mm
• Height: 13 mm
• Material: durable metal construction with plastic handles
• Tool type: precision pliers for small-diameter tubing

How to use

Hold the pliers by the plastic handles and position the jaws around the pipe or tube so the gripping surfaces make even contact. Apply steady pressure to hold or manipulate the tubing, avoiding excessive force that could deform the material. For tasks requiring fine adjustment, use short, controlled movements. After use, clean any residues from the metal surfaces and store the pliers in a dry place to maintain performance.

Recommendations

Check that the pipe diameter does not exceed 2.2 mm before operation. Use the pliers for gripping, bending, or positioning small tubes rather than cutting or prying. Regularly inspect the jaws for wear and keep the pivot area lightly lubricated to ensure smooth operation.
