Full details

The Knipex 35 22 115 Electronics Flat-Round Jaw Pliers are designed for professionals needing precision for delicate tasks in continuous production. Their key benefit is damage-free gripping and longevity due to a precision box joint and smooth jaws.

FAQs

What is the primary intended use for these pliers?

These pliers are designed for delicate and accurate work, particularly in fields like electronics assembly, jewelry making, and model building where precise handling of small components is required.

Are these pliers suitable for cutting wires?

While they are general-purpose pliers with gripping jaws, they are not designed as dedicated wire cutters. Their primary function is gripping and manipulating small parts without damage.

How do I clean the gripping surfaces?

Wipe the gripping surfaces with a soft cloth. If necessary, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild solvent, ensuring the surfaces are dried completely afterward.

What does 'precision box joint' mean?

A precision box joint is a type of joint construction that ensures a stable, backlash-free connection between the plier halves, contributing to longevity and consistent performance.

Why is the rust protection method important?

The mirror polish and oil film provide rust protection without chrome plating. This is important in electronics work as peeling chrome can cause circuit faults.

Can I use these pliers for general household repairs?

These pliers are specialized for fine work. For general household repairs, a more robust, general-purpose plier might be more suitable.

What is the length of the gripping jaws?

The overall length of the pliers is 115mm, often referred to as the cutting length or effective working length.

Troubleshooting

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close.

Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the box joint and work the handles back and forth. Ensure no debris is caught in the joint.

Jaws are not gripping effectively or are slipping.

Check the gripping surfaces for any oil, debris, or damage. Clean the jaws thoroughly with a solvent if necessary and ensure they are dry before use.

Spring mechanism not returning handles to open position.

Inspect the spring mechanism for damage or obstruction. If damaged, professional repair or replacement may be needed.

Rust spots appearing on the pliers.

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. Apply a thin layer of oil to the entire plier surface for protection. Store in a dry environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These pliers are ready for use straight out of the packaging. No initial setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed for delicate and accurate work, these pliers are compatible with a wide range of small components and materials. They are not intended for cutting hard wires or heavy materials.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the jaws clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove debris. For stubborn residue, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild solvent, ensuring it dries completely afterward.
  2. Lubrication: Apply a thin layer of light machine oil or specialized tool oil to the box joint periodically to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion. Knipex recommends using a fine oil film for rust protection.
  3. Storage: Store the pliers in a dry environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity. Keeping them in a protective case or tool roll can prevent damage and contamination.
  4. Inspection: Regularly inspect the jaws for wear or damage. Ensure the joint remains free of play and the spring action is consistent.
