Knipex Quality - Made in Germany

Ultra-High Leverage Lineman's Pliers.


The rivet size has been reduced and moved closer to the jaws to create a ultra-high leverage design.

09 01 240 SBA Lineman's Pliers, 9 1/2-Inch

At A Glance:

  • High transmission ratio for easy cutting.
  • Effective cross-hatched knurled gripping zone in the jaws.
  • Additional serrated gripping zone below the articulated joint for powerful leverage.
  • Cutting edges for soft, hard and ACSR wire.

09 01 240 SBA, 9 1/2-Inch High-Leverage New England-Style Lineman's Pliers

Knipex Tools redesigned Lineman’s Pliers are heavy-duty for the most demanding jobs. The rivet has been reduced in size and moved closer to the jaws to create an ultra-high leverage design for 25% easier cutting power. The cutting edges are induction hardened with a cutting edge hardness of approximately 64 HRC for long life and easy cutting of soft, hard and ACSR wire. Additionally, they feature a serrated cross-hatched knurled gripping zone in the jaws for gripping and pulling (such as for fencing applications). There is an additional gripping zone below the joint for strong gripping of wires and pulling nails. Select models also include a universal terminal crimper and a fish tape puller on the backside. Our Lineman's Pliers are forged from vanadium electric steel and are available in dipped, multi-component grip and 1000V insulated handles.


The back recess has an oval shaped design which works better on thicker, round or oval shaped cable.

Specifications:
  • Cutting capacity: Up to 3/16-inch nail and wire pin; 1/8-inch wire rope strand and steel wire.
  • Length: 9-1/2 inches.
  • Weight: 15.3 ounces.
  • Handles: Plastic Coated.

Quality in Every Detail

Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look.

The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8% carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.

Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.

Effective Cross-Hatched Knurled Gripping Zone in the Jaws

Additional Serrated Gripping Zone for Powerful Leverage

Select Models Feature a Crimper and Fish Tape Puller

Absolutely amazing! These bad boys cut chain link fences and wire mesh with more than ease! Worth every penny and more. Ever since I started to buy knipex I'm never buying any other brand of tool again. Seriously love these pliers so much!

    TIG welder here. Bought these, alongside the knipex mini bolt cutters, to cut filler rod. These are fantastic, and only have a little problem cutting 1/8 stainless filler.
    DON'T use them to cut tungsten, I did that and it bent the cutting surface ever so slightly.

    If you're between these or the mini bolt cutters for filler wire cutting, the mini bolt cutters cut easier and have no issue with 1/8, however the pliers are obviously more versatile.

    My go-to linesman pliers, outperform Klein’s in every way. The cutters stay sharp way longer and I have cut almost everything imaginable with them. They are smooth right off the bat, not stiff at all, ever. Worth every penny. Only time I’ve ever needed to replace them is when I lose them or hit a live wire.

    I bought another Knipex tool this summer and the quality of that tool impressed me so I ordered this set of pliers and I am starting to build up a Knipex tool collection. Great Tool and German quality too.

    I'm just a homeowner/hobbyist. But these lineman's are legit. They're tough, will grip anything, and the cutters are impressively sharp. Plus, they're incredibly made: They open and close without binding anywhere. They're absolutely awesome.

    It's such a pleasure to work with good tools. Treat yourself to a nice pair of lineman's.

    The media could not be loaded.
    These are just as good quality as my other Knipex tools. I'm slowly accumulating a collection of high-quality hand tools for DIY projects around my house. There's just something nice about using high-end tools. I was stuck trying to decide between these and the 2000 series Klein linesman pliers. I watched a lot of videos and read forum posts about the two. It seems like a lot of people prefer Klein over these, but there's some people who prefer these over Klein. On 鶹, the Klein 2000's are actually more expensive. I think the 2000's, which have a harder steel than the 213's, are around $60. I'm not an electrician, so these will be fine for occasionally doing some electrical work around my house. I wish these had a crimper, which you can get, but they're too expensive for what I'll be doing with them. I have a separate crimper if needed. These come broken in right out of the box. They're super smooth and cut 14/2 and 12/2 Romex like butter. I had a cheap pair of Do It Best linesman pliers from the local hardware store. There's a night and day difference between the way they cut wire. Be aware that these do come in retail plastic packaging, not a box. That's what the SBA means at the end of the model number. It doesn't matter to me what packaging they came in as long as they're legit, and these are.
