Compact Revolving Punch Pliers (9070220), Red

Crafted in Wuppertal-Cronenberg, Germany, Knipex's tools are renowned for their quality, innovation, and performance. Sustainability and value-guided orientation are also essential cornerstones of the brand.

The Knipex 90 70 220 revolving punch pliers feature a revolving head with six interchangeable punches, designed to perforate leather, textiles, and plastic materials. The punches come in a range of sizes: 5/64-inch, 3/32-inch, 1/8-inch, 9/64-inch, 5/32-inch, and 13/64-inch in diameter. Measuring 8-3/4 inches, the pliers boast an opening spring, locking lever, red powder-coated finish, and oil-hardened tool-grade steel construction.

At Knipex, the team puts their tools through rigorous testing to ensure exceptional quality and longevity. "Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting," they explain. The company's meticulous approach extends to the steel used, which is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium. This ensures optimal cutting performance and service life, even though it requires specialized production and additional cost.

The rivet of the high-leverage diagonal cutter is another area of focus, as it must withstand significant stress. Knipex forges the rivet straight onto the pliers, rather than using a more conventional approach. This extra effort ensures the rivet can handle the demands placed upon it.

Knipex's attention to detail extends to every aspect of their tools, from the angles and sharpness of the cutting edges to the precision and smooth movement of the joint, the handle design, and the finish. The company continuously reviews these elements, researches, tests, and improves their pliers to meet the high expectations of professional users.

Knipex's roots can be traced back to 1882, when C. Gustav Putsch established his own forge shop in Cronenberg, now a suburb of Wuppertal, Germany. The company remains a family-owned enterprise, now in its fourth generation. Today, Knipex is the world's leading brand in pliers, renowned for their performance, service life, and ergonomics.

Knipex tools are the number one choice for tradesmen worldwide, thanks to their comfortable use and quality-assured design. Whether in the workshop, at home, or in the field, Knipex tools are proven and tested for durability and function in real-world use and conditions.
