98 62 02 Flat Nose Plastic Pliers 1000V Insulated, Red/Yellow

These are one of those tools that you never realize were so awesome until you get them. Sure you can use regular insulated metal pliers to move wires in a live breaker panel, but you might end up with a shower of sparks too. Not with these. These are my go to tool for work in breaker boxes. Guaranteed to be the envy of less well equipped peers as well. These are sturdy, when you first think about it you’re like, okay, yeah, sure, PLASTIC pliers, but when you hold them you realize how durable they are. The longer jaws make them great for reaching deep into tangles. German quality again 💯💯💯

Knipex tools are some of the finest quality out there. I have an entire drawer of Comfort Grip clips snips & pliars, and a separate tool box of VDE TOOLS (electrical coated & rated for no shock)

Great for handling electric vehicle live wires on high voltage batteries.

My Data Center instituted a rule against using metal pliers to remove dust caps on switches. Some techs went with the cheapest available plastic pliers, I purchased these. I have received compliments every single day on this tool, from other techs and every foreman who visits the site. The company is planning on placing a large order. I cannot express how well these work for dust cap removals. They are well built, lightweight, and I can use them all day without my hand getting tired. I am so pleased with this product that my next set of shears will also be from this manufacturer.

I wasn't expecting too much when I bought these but I find myself using them regularly for poking around in control panels figuring out where wiring is running to, it's just nice to have the safety of a VDE tool. They're very robust with very little flex in the handles or jaws and they grip well without damaging the insulation on the wires. They're pretty large and can be a bit cumbersome at times for small panels so I wish they made a smaller size option as well.

Perfect for when working on HV automotive cars. I use them when removing bolts or must that hold down HV bus bars. Especially helpful when those components cannot be picked up with isolated magnetic pick up tools. (Non ferrous items). Just one additional layer of protection between me and the extra fried crispy’s.

Knipex has had it's loyal followers for as long as I remember. They are often the brand most compared as an alternatitive to Klein and Channellock. Manufactured in Germany, and EXCLUSIVELY in Germany, since the late 1800's, they enjoy a high reputation, especially for their electrical tools. This particular tool has the important 1000V rating, which most amateurs take for granted. Hardware stores (and Amazon) are awash in "plastic pliers" which claim to be appropriate for electrical work. However these often have exposed metal handles and should not be trusted. For linemen and electricians performing work on energized circuts, the tool MUST by law be rated to withstand and protect the user up to 1000V. For the amateur, this may sound like overkill, but I'm going to tell you why its not: The amateur is more likely to make a mistake deenergizing circuitry and more likely to miswire small projects. For this reason, the DIY handyman or homeowner should consider this a necessity. I have rewired some of my own circuitry, correcting mistakes (or laziness) of previous homeowners and have found several occasions where the Knipex pliers were necessary for peace of mind - even with breakers flipped and multimeter checking for power. It's an excellent tool, and a layer of safety that even amateurs should not take for granted. JHA

Heavy duty for it being completely plastic

Do not intend to use on 1000v but atleast a.230v will be fine just so to hold the wires for help.to.slot into the screwed area..yes all plastic or pe.or pu stuffs will break down after sometime..cannot speak for those higher end brand but atleaset this will.serve its purpose of keeping you safe for the.time given. Like all.electrical products ensure 5 things. 1 do not abuse the tools. Use it for its intended purpose. 2 ensure hands and bare wires not incontact with water 3 makesure you work in safe enviroment that means the MCB ELCB CB are offline 4 all neutral lines when touch with ground will cause the breaker to discomnect 5 makesure you are grounded and wear a high insulated boots and gloves Good product not 'tight' within the joints. Smooth and good quality. Use it for holding the wires not for crimping or twisting the cores of the wires and not strippers.
