The Knipex 55639 is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need precision gripping and manipulation for small components. Its key benefit lies in its finely pointed, slim jaws and serrated gripping surfaces, offering excellent control for delicate assembly tasks. A potential caveat is the plastic-coated handles, which may wear over time with heavy industrial use.

The Knipex 55639 is designed for precise gripping and manipulation of small components, ideal for electronics, model building, and fine assembly tasks.
While the handles are plastic coated, offering some basic insulation, these pliers are not rated for live electrical work. Use insulated tools specifically designed for electrical applications.
They are manufactured from chrome vanadium electric steel, which is oil hardened and tempered for durability and strength.
Wipe the jaws clean after use, dry thoroughly, and periodically lubricate the pivot joint with a light oil. Store in a dry place.
These pliers are primarily designed for gripping and manipulation. They do not have cutting edges and are not intended for cutting wire.
The Knipex 55639 has a cutting length (jaw length) of 16 cm (approximately 6.3 inches).
The jaws are extra slim and flat-round, allowing them to reach into tight spaces, combined with fine serrations for a secure grip on small parts.
Check the pivot joint for debris or damage. Clean and lubricate the joint. If damage is present, consider replacement.
Ensure the jaws are clean and free from oil or grease. Check for excessive wear on the serrations; if worn, replacement may be needed.
Inspect the connection between the handles and the plier body. Ensure they are securely attached. If the plastic coating is damaged, it may affect grip comfort.
Clean the rusted area with a fine steel wool or rust remover. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to prevent future rust.
Setup: These pliers are ready for immediate use out of the package. No assembly or setup is required.
Compatibility: The Knipex 55639 is compatible with a wide range of small to medium-sized components and materials. While the handles offer some basic insulation, these are not insulated for live electrical work and should not be used as such.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
