Knipex purchasing help

[r_olson_06]

For the last 3 months i have been looking to purchase a knipex 13 82 200 installation pliers. Talked with many Knipex suppliers and they tell me its not available in the us for at least a year. Chad's Tool box does not have them. Is there any other options. Here is a link to the site with a pic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe have to buy directly from a European seller or distributor. Don't know.

Do you know any for knipex?

Contact our member ash and submit your inquiry concerning this knipex product. I know that currently right now he lists it on his website, 13-82-200 for preorder.

He might be able to provide a more definitive answer as to when they will be available for shipping.

This is the VDE version.

If it helps I could ship them over to you, I recently sent over a ratchet screwdriver to the US for about $8.

I'd like to get this plier too, but I don't expect the strippers will work well with 12 and 14 ga wire.

The small hole is labelled 0.7-1.5mm. 14 ga wire is 1.628mm.

The larger hole is labelled 2.5mm. 12 ga wire is 2.053mm.

So I'd expect the small hole to put a pretty good nick in the copper of a 14 ga wire. That's a bad thing. The large hole may actually work well with 12 ga wire.

Thoughts?

i have a pair of the the cable cutters of knipex with the same cutting edge as these. I use that to strip everything from conductors to cable jackets to shields. I have had my cable cutter for over 2 years now and still sharp enough to cut paper with out folding it.

When I spoke to my knipex rep on Friday, they still confirmed that they should be available at the end of the month as schedule but that's not 100 percent guarantee . I have them on order but I can only guarantee them to people that pre order as I will be getting limited quantities. Thanks

Thanks Ash I Will order up a pair. They just look like they can remove about 6 tools from my tool pouch. They might be here by the end of June or July.

I was told by the end of June. They are very nice, I had the opportunity to try them out when i was in Germany a few months ago. It is an excellent multi tool.
