Knipex 09 08 240 US High Leverage Lineman's Pliers New England Head 1000V Insulated 9-1/2"

The Knipex 09 08 240 US is a 9-1/2" High Leverage Lineman's Plier with New England head and 1,000V VDE-tested insulation, built for electricians and linemen tackling the most demanding electrical and utility work. Forged from vanadium steel and multi-stage oil-hardened, these heavy-duty pliers deliver exceptional strength, precise cutting, and a secure grip in a single professional-grade tool.

The ultra-high leverage design repositions the rivet closer to the jaws, providing significantly easier cutting power compared to conventional combination pliers. Induction-hardened cutting edges rated at approximately 64 HRC handle soft wire, hard wire, ACSR wire, nails, and piano wire with ease.
