Knipex 97 52 36 PreciForce Crimping Pliers 220mm

The Knipex 97 52 36 PreciForce Crimping Pliers (220 mm) are factory-calibrated precision crimping pliers for insulated cable lugs, push-on connectors, and butt connectors in the 0.5 to 6.0 mm² (AWG 20-10) range. A positive locking mechanism prevents the jaws from opening until the full preset crimp pressure is reached, guaranteeing every crimp meets the correct specification. The compact knee-lever design delivers high crimping force while keeping the tool lightweight and easy to handle.
