Overview
Knipex's 25 01 160 is a 160 millimeter (about 6.3 inch) combination plier with plastic handle grips, weighing 4.08 ounces as listed. Knipex numbers many of its pliers by jaw type and length, and the 2501 line covers the brand's standard combination pliers.
German made Knipex tools are widely used in electrical and general trade work for their machined jaws and grip comfort, though this listing itself adds no detail beyond handle material and weight. At 160mm it is the compact size in Knipex's combination plier range, better suited to tighter work than larger cable jobs.

Who it's for
Fits electricians, technicians, and DIYers who want a compact combination plier for cutting, gripping, and bending wire in tight spaces, rather than someone needing a larger plier for heavy gauge cable work.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact 160mm size for tight spaces

Performance notes
At 160mm, this size trades reach and leverage for maneuverability in confined spaces, a tradeoff seen across Knipex's plier lineup where longer models add cutting force at the cost of bulk.
