The Knipex 13 96 200 T is a versatile multi-functional tool designed specifically for professional electricians who need to streamline their kit without sacrificing precision. This 6-in-1 tool excels at gripping, bending, stripping, cutting, and crimping, making it an essential companion for panel wiring and junction box work. While it offers unparalleled convenience by replacing several single-purpose tools, users should note that the slim profile is optimized for standard electrical gauge work rather than heavy-duty industrial bolt cutting.

Yes, they are VDE-rated for up to 1000 V AC.
No, these are intended for electrical installations and cutting copper/aluminum cable. Cutting steel will damage the precision edges.
It can cut copper and aluminum cables up to 15 mm in diameter.
Knipex tools are manufactured to high standards; refer to your regional distributor for specific warranty terms regarding defects.
The stripping holes are calibrated for 0.75-1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm² conductors.
It allows you to attach a safety lanyard, preventing the tool from falling when working at height.
Ensure you are cutting within the rated capacity (copper or aluminum cables only, max Ø 15 mm). Inspect the blades for debris or dulling.
Apply a drop of penetrating oil to the bolted pivot joint and cycle the pliers open and closed several times to distribute the lubrication.
If the 1000V insulation is cracked or exposed, the tool must be removed from service immediately to maintain safety standards.
This tool requires no special setup. To maintain the life of the 1000V insulation, visually inspect the handles for cracks or chips before every use, especially when working on live systems. The pivot point is a bolted joint that ensures smooth, zero-backlash operation; keep this area free of debris and lightly lubricate it occasionally with a light machine oil. Clean the cutting edges with a dry cloth after use to prevent corrosion. Ensure you are using the correct stripping and crimping zones corresponding to the specific wire gauge (0.75-2.5 mm²) to avoid damaging the tool or the conductor.
