Effortless crimping with Knipex reliability
- Reduced manual crimping effort: High-ratio lever transmission significantly lowers the hand force you need when crimping heavy-gauge terminals.
- Comfortable two-handed operation: The extended non-slip handles allow you to use both hands easily for large cable cross-sections.
- Consistently accurate connection results: An unlockable integral ratchet mechanism ensures the pliers open only after achieving full crimping pressure.
With the Knipex 97 52 23 crimping pliers, you achieve reliable, solder-free electrical connections on heavy-gauge cables. Designed for non-insulated cable lugs and connectors with cross sections of 16 to 25 mm², this tool features two precision crimping positions. The toggle lever transmission reduces the required hand force by up to 30%, while the 250 mm long handles with non-slip plastic grips allow comfortable two-handed operation for thicker conductors. An unlockable ratchet mechanism combined with factory-calibrated pressure ensures the pliers release only when the full crimp cycle is complete. This gives you consistent, secure results during panel building and industrial maintenance work.
