Pinza tagliatubi Knipex 87 26 250 T

The Knipex 87 26 250 T hose cutting pliers are designed for precise and reliable cutting of hoses. Constructed from chrome vanadium electric steel with multi-stage oil hardening and forged for durability, these pliers combine a slim, high-load-capacity design with a comfortable handle and good access to the workpiece. With a length of 250 mm and a weight of approximately 435 g, they suit both professional and DIY applications where accurate hose cutting is required.

Advantages

Adjustment by shifting one jaw directly onto the workpiece enables fast and comfortable handling, while fine adjustment provides optimal fit for differently sized hoses and a comfortable handle position. The pliers feature self-locking on pipes and nuts to prevent slipping and reduce required hand force. Gripping surfaces have special hardened teeth (approx. 61 HRC) for high wear resistance and secure gripping. A box-joint design with double guide ensures high stability, and an integrated guard prevents finger pinching.

Suitable for

• Cutting rubber and plastic hoses to length
• Workshop and service tasks requiring precise hose preparation
• Automotive, plumbing and HVAC maintenance where reliable hose cuts are needed
• DIY projects involving hose replacement or custom hose assembly

How to use

Position the hose between the jaws and shift one jaw directly onto the workpiece for an initial clamp. Use the fine adjustment to set the exact bite for the hose diameter, then squeeze the handles evenly to cut through the hose. For repetitive cuts, allow the self-locking feature to secure the hose and reduce hand effort. Keep the pliers clean and free of residue to maintain precise cutting and gripping performance.

Recommendations

Use these pliers for cutting hoses within the tool’s intended capacity; avoid cutting hardened metal or materials that could damage the hardened teeth. Store in a dry place and apply light corrosion protection to the steel surfaces if the tool is exposed to moisture.
