KNIPEX presents new threecomponent<br />
Comfort Handles<br />
Multi-component handles are now<br />
even more comfortable to use<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Comfort Handles from<br />
KNIPEX feature a third, non-slip<br />
component that optimises haptic<br />
properties and enhances the handling<br />
of the tools with multi-component grips.<br />
From this year, KNIPEX will be gradually<br />
converting these pliers to the improved<br />
handles. <strong>The</strong>re will also be a KNIPEXtend<br />
interface for extensions to the pliers, for<br />
instance, for fall protection.<br />
2024 sees the typical red and blue multicomponent<br />
handles from KNIPEX gain another<br />
component for even better handling of the pliers.<br />
A soft grey and specially structured surface texture<br />
optimises the ergonomics of the large range of pliers and<br />
thus ensures even better grip and control. <strong>The</strong> soft blue component<br />
for a secure and comfortable grip and the firm red component<br />
for maximum durability are retained and continue to stand for the<br />
highest quality and proven recognisability of KNIPEX tools. <strong>The</strong><br />
changeover will take place gradually from this year onwards, with<br />
the electrically insulated tools remaining with the tried and tested<br />
VDE-tested two-component handles for the time being.<br />
Another new feature of the KNIPEX multi-component sheaths is<br />
a KNIPEXtend interface - an extension that can be used in a variety<br />
of ways. Among other things, a KNIPEX TetheredTool clip can be<br />
attached here for fall protection or a clip called KNIPEX ColorCode,<br />
which individually identifies the pliers with a coloured marking. But<br />
this is just the beginning. <strong>The</strong> KNIPEXtend interface can be used for<br />
a wide range of clip ideas in the future.<br />
