Overview
Weighing just 0.4 pounds, the Knipex 38 71 200 plier pairs plastic handles with a compact build suited to detail work rather than heavy leverage tasks. Knipex's reputation for precision hand tools carries into this listing.
Knipex numbers its tools by jaw type and length in millimeters, and the 200 in this model name points to roughly an 8 inch overall length. Beyond handle material and weight, the listing gives no jaw style or capacity detail, so exactly which cutting or gripping task this plier targets is not confirmed by the data here.
- Knipex brand hand tool
- Plastic handle covering
- 0.4 pound weight

Who it's for
Suited to anyone who wants a lightweight, brand-name plier for a toolbox or work bag. Not the choice if you need a specific jaw type such as needle nose or diagonal cutters confirmed before buying.
