Effortless precision with the Knipex crimper
- Significantly reduced manual effort: High lever transmission lets you crimp twin ferrules from 6 to 16 mm² easily using two hands.
- Consistent high crimping quality: The unlockable ratchet mechanism ensures you complete every cycle with calibrated factory pressure before releasing.
- Comfortable and balanced handling: Non-slip coated handles and an angled head give you maximum stability and control throughout heavy daily workloads.
With the Knipex 97 52 18 crimping pliers, you crimp heavy twin wire ferrules from 6 mm² up to 16 mm² with ease. The high-leverage transmission reduces manual effort by up to 30 percent, while the 250 mm length allows for comfortable one-handed or two-handed operation. An integrated, factory-calibrated ratchet mechanism ensures every crimp is completed with precise pressure before releasing, preventing faulty connections. Combined with an angled head and ergonomic non-slip handles, it gives you maximum control and stability when assembling industrial control cabinets and distribution boards.
