Overview
The KNIPEX 74 01 200 is a plier from KNIPEX's 74 series, commonly built as diagonal cutting pliers in this catalog range, sized around 200mm, about 8 inches. It has plastic dipped handles and weighs 9.12 ounces.
KNIPEX numbers its tools by series and length in millimeters, so the 200 in this model points to an 8 inch overall size, a common length for a general workshop cutting plier. The listing here only confirms handle material and weight, so jaw type and cutting capacity should be checked against KNIPEX's own specifications if precision matters for your job.
- KNIPEX 74 series plier, about 200mm/8 inches
- Plastic dipped handles
- Item weight 9.12 ounces
Who it's for
Fits tradespeople, electricians and workshop users who want a mid size precision plier from a recognized German toolmaker rather than a budget generic option.
Pros and cons
- Compact 8 inch size suited to general workshop use
- Plastic dipped handles for grip
- Jaw type and cutting capacity aren't detailed in the listing data
- No stated insulation voltage rating for electrical work
Performance notes
At 9.12 ounces, this plier sits at a moderate weight for its roughly 8 inch size, light enough for repeated one handed use without feeling flimsy. Plastic dipped handles are standard on KNIPEX tools for grip and basic insulation, though this listing does not state a voltage insulation rating, so it should not be treated as certified insulated for electrical work unless confirmed elsewhere.
