The new Comfort Handles from KNIPEX feature a third, non-slip component that optimises haptic properties and enhances the handling of the tools with multi-component grips.
From this year, the company will be gradually converting its pliers to the improved handles. There will also be a KNIPEXtend interface for extensions to the pliers, for instance, for fall protection.
2024 sees the typical red and blue multi-component handles from the company gain another component, designed for better handling of the pliers. The company says a soft grey and specially structured surface texture optimises the ergonomics of the large range of pliers and thus ensures even better grip and control, while the soft blue component provides a secure and comfortable grip and the firm red component for durability are retained.
The changeover will take place gradually from this year onwards, with the electrically insulated tools remaining with the tried and tested VDE-tested two-component handles for the time being.
