Knipex 97 22 240 9,45" Crimping Pliers

Super !!!

Sleek and effective.

Best crimper.

One of the best knipex crimps on the market.

Expected "good" and got "great"

I like Knipex products in general, but I wasn't really expecting much from this style of tool even from them. I've used similar-looking crimpers from many brands over the years - usually cheaper than this Knipex one (but this one is still reasonably cheap in my opinion). I expected this to be slightly better. But I was pleasantly surprised - this is significantly better than other crimpers of this style that I've used. I haven't used it a ton yet but I have used every function (cutting, stripping, and crimping) and has worked very well. The strippers seem to be precise and I have not had them clip off extra strands of stranded wire, or clip partway through a solid wire. The cutters - something that almost always suck for this style of tool - work surprisingly well. ... MoreI like Knipex products in general, but I wasn't really expecting much from this style of tool even from them.

The cutters - something that almost always suck for this style of tool - work surprisingly well. Not the absolute highest quality stripper, cutter or crimper in the world, but it's the best I have used so far at this price point. The crimping function also works fine, though I don't normally have a problem with the crimping function on the cheaper tools either. These are also thicker and heavier than most other crimpers of this style, which probably contributes to why the cutter works so well in specific. In some cheap brands, the steel is thin, so it kind of flexes when you try to cut. But this one has nice thick steel and it has not done that when I've used it to cut.

SLICE & SPLICE-NICE

Knipex,being a trusted reliable brand,is the obvious choice for pretty much any tool that you care to mention and these wire stripper/crimper are no exception. Reassuringly heavy and well functioning features being the clincher for my recommendation.

Space saver

Great crimper. Saves space in the tool bag for quick strip/crimp jobs, instead of carrying dedicated strippers and crimpers. Expected knipex quality.

Well made

Welk made product and usability is good

Works well on metric threads

This is a standard wire stripper, cutter, threaded bolt cutter with metric thread sizes. I have been looking for this for years - metric thread sizes have become popular. This does the trick. I would have preferred a slightly heavier duty unit, but this has been working like a dream!

just so so

not easy to strip wires, it is not made in germany,not matching this price

very good construction

like all knipex very good tool
