FAQs

What types of pliers are included in the 33778 set?

The set includes a 180mm Combination Plier, a 160mm Diagonal Cutter, and a 200mm Snipe Nose Side Cutting Plier (also known as Stork Beak Pliers).

Are these pliers suitable for professional use?

Yes, Knipex tools are manufactured to professional quality standards and are designed for demanding use by tradespeople.

What are the dimensions of the packaging?

The dimensions of the packaging are 170 x 370 x 40 mm.

Can I cut hardened steel wire with the diagonal cutters?

The 160mm Diagonal Cutters are suitable for soft and medium-hard wires. Cutting hardened steel is not recommended and may damage the cutting edges.

How should I store these pliers?

The set comes with a plastic deep-drawn tray with a transparent lid, which is ideal for organized storage and keeping the pliers protected.

Do the pliers have insulated grips?

The grips are two-colour multi-component grips designed for comfort and control. They are not specifically rated for electrical insulation against high voltage.

Troubleshooting

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to open/close.

Clean the pivot point of any debris and apply a light coat of lubricating oil.

Cutting edges are dull or not cutting cleanly.

Ensure you are using the correct plier for the material. For diagonal cutters, avoid cutting materials harder than intended. Sharpening may be required for significant dullness, but professional servicing is recommended.

Grips feel loose or damaged.

Inspect the multi-component grips for tears or separation. While designed for durability, excessive wear may occur. Contact Knipex or a certified dealer for replacement options if available.

Tool is rusting.

Ensure tools are kept dry and lightly oiled. Minor surface rust can often be removed with fine steel wool and a light oil application. Severe rust may impact performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a pre-assembled tool set. No specific setup is required beyond familiarizing yourself with each plier's function. The tools are presented in a deep-drawn plastic tray for organized storage.

Compatibility: The pliers are designed for general mechanical and electrical tasks. They are compatible with standard workshop and household environments.

Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

  1. Clean Regularly: Wipe down the pliers with a dry cloth after use to remove dirt and debris.
  2. Lubricate: Apply a light oil to the pivot point occasionally to ensure smooth operation.
  3. Avoid Overuse: Do not use the pliers for tasks beyond their intended capacity (e.g., cutting hardened steel wire with diagonal cutters not designed for it).
  4. Storage: Store the pliers in the provided tray to protect them from damage and maintain organization. Keep in a dry environment to prevent rust.
