In no other industrial sector are safety and precision more important than in aircraft construction, so the demands on the tools used are correspondingly high. Therefore, the use of high-quality pliers in aviation technology is a logical step for all aircraft manufacturers who want to ensure consistent quality with minimal tolerances.

The materials used in aviation materials are a key factor in determining specific requirements. In order to enable lightweight construction processes, composites are becoming increasingly important in the aircraft industry. This also has a major impact on the choice of the right specialised tools.

In addition to the construction of new aircraft, aircraft maintenance is another area in which precision tools have to convince every day anew. Wheels, for example, are exchanged every 500 flights and engine components after every 1500 landings. Hydraulics is also a regular maintenance topic, for example with regard to the hydraulic pump for retracting and extending the undercarriage.

Anyone who, like KNIPEX, focuses and specializes in the pliers segment knows what is important when highly adapted tools have to be designed for particularly demanding applications. This is especially true in the development of suitable aircraft workshop tools. Whether structural assembly and mechanics, hydraulics, cabling or insulation: KNIPEX has the perfect pliers for all work areas in the industry. From pliers for connectors, special separating sets for cable ties with precision side cutters, to high-quality four-mandrel pressing pliers for turned contacts, you will find special solutions for high demands in our range.

Hand tools from KNIPEX work so well in the aircraft industry because we either adapt models that have been tried and tested thousands of times for a specific special application or because our extensive experience enables the development of completely new designs and thus becomes the engine of our innovative strength. Placing the wishes of the customers at the center of daily work is a very special feature of KNIPEX.
