KNIPEX 13 86 200 VDE Pliers for Electrical Installation 6 in 1 Multifunction Pliers 200mm

Some tools are built for one task. Others are built for the way real electrical work actually happens. The KNIPEX 13 86 200 VDE Pliers for Electrical Installation 6 in 1 Multifunction Pliers 200mm belongs in the second category. Designed as a true electrician’s all-rounder, it combines six essential functions in one pair of pliers: gripping flat and round material, bending, deburring, cutting cable, stripping, and crimping wire ferrules. For professionals working through repetitive installation tasks, that means less time swapping tools and more time getting the job done cleanly and efficiently.

What makes this model especially useful is how intelligently those functions are integrated. Near the tips, the gripping surfaces are smooth so that single conductors can be held and positioned without damage. Further back, the serrated gripping surfaces and pipe grip provide secure control over both flat and round materials. There is also a clear-cut outside edge on the gripping surfaces for working on flush-mounted junction boxes and for deburring feed-through holes, which adds practical value in day-to-day installation work. Instead of being a compromise tool, this feels like a tool designed around the actual sequence of jobs electricians face on site.

The cutting and preparation features are equally strong. The pliers include stripping holes for 0.75 to 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm² conductors, plus a crimping die for wire ferrules from 0.5 to 2.5 mm². The integrated cable shears use induction-hardened precision cutting edges for copper and aluminium cables up to 5 x 2.5 mm² or Ø 15 mm, giving the user the ability to handle multiple key wire-preparation tasks with a single tool. That is exactly the kind of efficiency that saves time in tool bags, on ladders, and in confined working spaces.

KNIPEX also builds this model with the durability and safety expected from a professional installation tool. It features a bolted joint for precise, zero-backlash operation, a chrome-plated finish, and VDE-tested insulated multi-component grips conforming to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900. At 200 x 85 x 20 mm and 272 g, it stays compact and manageable while still feeling strong in the hand. For electricians who want fewer tools in the pouch and more capability in each one, this is a highly practical choice.
