Product Information
Full details
The Knipex 22 05 140 Round Nose Pliers are precision instruments designed for professionals and hobbyists who require accurate bending of wire loops. These 140mm pliers offer exceptional control for intricate electronics, jewelry making, and specialized mechanical work due to their finely ground, short round jaws. While they provide superior durability and comfort, users should note that they are specifically engineered for shaping and looping rather than heavy-duty gripping or cutting tasks.

FAQs
Can I use these pliers to cut wire?
No, these are designed for bending and looping. Using them to cut hard wire can damage the jaw tips.
What does the 140mm size mean?
It refers to the total length of the pliers, making this a compact model ideal for fine-detail work.
Are the grips electrically insulated?
No, the multi-component grips are for comfort only and do not provide VDE-certified insulation for live electrical work.
What kind of steel are these made of?
They are forged from high-quality chrome vanadium electric steel, which is oil-hardened for superior strength.
Are these pliers suitable for heavy industrial use?
Yes, their construction meets DIN ISO 5745 standards, making them robust enough for professional use within their intended application range.
Troubleshooting
Stiff jaw movement
Apply a drop of penetrating lubricant to the pivot point and work the jaws open and closed several times to distribute the oil.
Surface rust appears
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad to gently remove the oxidation, then coat the area with a thin layer of machine oil.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent precision for tight wire bends

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pliers do not require special setup; they are ready for use immediately out of the package. To maintain the integrity of the jaws and the effectiveness of the pivot, keep the tool clean of metal filings and debris. Periodically wipe the jaws with a light machine oil to prevent rust, especially if used in humid environments. Avoid using the pliers as a lever or hammer, as this can misalign the precision-ground jaws and permanently impact their performance.
