Revolving head with six interchangeable punches (view larger).

Designed to punch out holes in leather, textiles, and plastic materials, this pair of revolving punch pliers from Knipex (model 90 70 220) includes six interchangeable punches — 5/64-inch, 3/32-inch, 1/8-inch, 9/64-inch, 5/32-inch, and 13/64-inch diameters. The 8-3/4-inch pliers feature an opening spring and locking lever, red powder coated finish, and oil-hardened tool-grade steel.

Quality in Every Detail

Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look.

The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.

The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied users are worth this effort.

Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.
