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.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 20, 2022Verified PurchaseTIG 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.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 21, 2024Verified PurchaseBeen using these for pasture fence repair. Solid and tough.

- Reviewed in Canada on April 17, 2023Verified PurchaseWork exactly as intend and quality is great!
- Reviewed in Canada on February 21, 2019Verified PurchaseMy 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.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 7, 2021Verified PurchaseI 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp, Well Made, Grippy, Handy and... AWESOME
Verified PurchaseI'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.
