Several new items from KNIPEX now available to the North American market

KNIPEX Tools has formally launched long awaited products to the North  American market this week including the Modular X18 Backpack, Jaw Protectors for Cobra Pliers, new set  assortments and more.  

The German based tool company is claiming a spot in the tool backpack space with the Modular X18 Backpack. The  backpack can handle up to 33 lbs. of tools, supplies, and personal belongings. It features 21 retaining loops, 37  pockets, and a removable tool board to help customize how you pack your supplies. The front and back panels fully  hinge for easy access to tools and the waterproof molded bottom is made of impact-resistant plastic to keep your  bag in a secure, upright position. The backpack also features MOLLE straps on the inside & outside of the bag as  well as a magnetic FIDLOCK connector. 

Three new jaw protectors are added to the already existing line of jaw protectors for Pliers Wrenches, this time for  three sizes of the Cobra Pliers. The Jaw Protectors for Cobra Pliers are made of a smooth plastic and prevent  damage to workpieces by covering all the teeth of the tool. They easily snap onto the jaw and give you a firm, non marring bite. Each set contains 3 pairs of plastic protective jaws – 3 upper jaws and 3 lower jaws – that are marked  ‘top’ and ‘bottom’ for easy identification. Jaw Protectors are available for the 7 1/4″, 10″, and 12″ Cobra Pliers produced after 2007. 

Also included in the launch is an assortment of new sets. Anticipated favorites are the 2 Pc Mini Pliers Set XS in Belt  Pouch (00 20 72 V04 XS), a 3 Pc Top Selling Pliers set (9K 00 80 156 US), and an 8 Pc Cobra Pliers Set (9K 00 80 149  US). New & revised sets will continue to be rolled out in the coming months. 

Two new tethered bags (large & small), a tool tethering adaptor strap and a tool tethering lanyard with 13 lbs. capacity are included in the launch as well as the Pipe Cutter for Composite Pipes and the Twistor® T Self-Adjusting  Crimping Pliers for Wire Ferrules. 

Many of the items were first announced globally in April 2023 with products becoming available to the US & Canada  as of July 2023. Distributors are expected to have inventory of new items in the coming weeks. For more  information about all new products, head to the KNIPEX Tools North America website here
