Knipex

In the same city Wera started, Knipex Tools originated in Wuppertal, Germany, where the company was founded in 1882 and has remained family-owned for over a century. From its earliest days, Knipex focused exclusively on pliers, developing deep expertise that has positioned the brand as a global leader in gripping, cutting, and crimping tools.

Rather than offering a broad tool lineup, Knipex dedicates its engineering efforts to refining function, leverage, and durability within each tool design. This specialization has led to numerous innovations that improve efficiency, reduce hand strain, and allow a single tool to replace multiple conventional options. Professionals rely on Knipex for tools that deliver precision, strength, and long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Knipex tools are manufactured primarily in Wuppertal, Germany, with nearly all production processes handled in-house to maintain strict quality control. This commitment to German manufacturing and continuous innovation ensures every Knipex tool meets the highest standards of performance, making them a trusted choice across electrical, automotive, industrial, and technical trades worldwide.
