Overview
The Knipex 38 21 200 is a plier with a plastic handle, an overall length of 9.5 inches and an item weight of 6.16 ounces. It sits at the lighter end of Knipex's plier range by weight.
Knipex model numbers typically encode jaw type and size, and the 200 in 38 21 200 lines up with the 9.5 inch overall length listed here, matching Knipex's convention of length in millimeters. At 6.16 ounces it is notably light for its length, and the plastic handle covering points to Knipex's standard dip-coated grip rather than a cushioned multi-component design.
- 9.5 inch overall length
- 6.16 ounce item weight
- Plastic handle covering
- Knipex brand plier
Who it's for
Suits users who want a full-length 9.5 inch plier that stays light in the hand for extended use. Not the pick for anyone who wants a heavily cushioned or oversized grip.
Pros and cons
- Light weight relative to its 9.5 inch length
- Full-size reach for a 9.5 inch tool
- Plastic handle rather than a cushioned grip
- Jaw type and cutting capacity not specified
Performance notes
At 6.16 ounces for a 9.5 inch tool, the weight-to-length ratio is low, which should reduce fatigue during repeated use compared with heavier steel-handled pliers of similar length. The plastic handle covering is a standard dip coating rather than a soft-grip overlay, based on the single material listed.
