Pliers Knipex 97 52 50

The Knipex 97 52 50 pliers are precision crimping pliers manufactured from chrome vanadium electric steel with oil-hardening for improved durability. At 220 mm length and approximately 498 g weight, they combine compact design with an ergonomically shaped handle in blue and red for comfortable gripping. The tool is factory-calibrated for consistent crimping pressure and features an integral self-releasing lock for repetitive, reliable crimps.

Advantages

Precision dies and an integral self-releasing mechanism ensure repetitive high-quality crimps. Crimping pressure is factory-set and can be readjusted if required. A toggle lever provides efficient transmission of force to reduce user fatigue. The pliers offer good handling due to their favourable handle position, low weight and compact construction.

Suitable for

• Crimping electrical connectors and terminals
• Professional electrical installation and maintenance work
• Workshop and advanced DIY wiring tasks

How to use

Select the appropriate die size or connector, insert the terminal between the precision dies and operate the handles until the self-releasing mechanism opens to complete the crimp. If necessary, adjust the crimping pressure following the manufacturer's calibration instructions. Use the toggle lever motion to apply force evenly and avoid sudden twisting or side loads.

Recommendations

For reliable results, keep the dies clean and free of debris, check calibration periodically, and store the pliers in a dry place. Do not use the tool on materials or connectors outside its intended range to avoid damage.
