Overview
The Knipex 00 20 72 V04 XS is the extra small member of Knipex's plier lineup, built with plastic and rubber grip handles. Its listed weight of 0.04 lbs points to a compact tool meant for tight spaces rather than heavy leverage work.
XS in the name signals Knipex's smallest plier format, a step down from the brand's standard-size lines. The listing gives handle material and weight but leaves out jaw type, length and cutting capacity, so treat this as a size and grip spec rather than a full capability rundown.
- Knipex XS-format plier
- Plastic and rubber handle
- 0.04 lb listed weight
Who it's for
Anyone working in cramped spaces, electronics enclosures, or panels where a standard-length plier will not fit gets the most from this. It is not the choice for jobs needing real leverage on thick wire or large fasteners.
Pros and cons
- Light enough for pocket carry
- Rubber-overmolded handle for grip comfort
- Extra small size fits tight spaces
- Part of Knipex's established plier range
- No jaw length or cutting capacity listed
- Small size limits leverage on larger fasteners
Performance notes
The dual-material plastic and rubber handle is built for hand comfort and one-handed control rather than raw grip strength. At 0.04 lbs it is light enough for pocket carry or extended overhead use, though the listing does not specify jaw length, opening width or cutting capacity, so its ceiling on tougher tasks is not confirmed.
