At TIS we always like to give our customers easy access to innovative and high quality products. That is true right across our range of test instruments and accessories, but it also extends to every aspect of the electrician’s job, because we know how important it is to have the right tools at the right time. Plus we understand every aspect of what an electrical tester is faced with, and that is why we have partnered with KNIPEX to offer our customers an extensive range of high quality tools.
KNIPEX are a German firm who have been operating since 1882. They are an independent organisation with traditional roots as a family-owned business and have grown to become a by-word for high quality and innovative new products. It seemed a natural fit to partner with KNIPEX and offer our customers a wide range of specialist tools for the small, time consuming and fiddly - but critically important - tasks involved in the electrical contracting sector, and we are very proud to be able to showcase the full KNIPEX range on our site now.
Electrical pliers specialists
Historically, KNIPEX are known as the ‘pliers specialists’, but they also innovate and supply tools for industry, which will mean the electrician can be fully kitted out for the task in hand. The KNIPEX range is described as high performance with minimum effort and the tools are designed for a wide variety of cutting applications, but have also applied an attention to detail which reflects all the environments an electrical tester might find themselves in.
So there are tools which are ideal for working in confined spaces. There are tools which have VDE tested insulated handles for optimum safety, and also tools with chrome-plated handles for robustness and longevity. But the main feature of KNIPEX tools is that many of them have a multi-use capability, such as 3-function wire strippers, conduit and pipe cutters, cable cutters with a ratchet and high leverage combination pliers. These multi-use tools are hugely convenient for th
e electrical tester because they enable them to work must faster and more efficiently and without having to fish around in a tool bag searching for the right tool.
As a specialist in pliers you would expect a good range of tools from KNIPEX in this sector and you won’t be disappointed. At TIS you can access crimping pliers, high-tech water pump pliers, snipe nose pliers, Pliers Wrenches (another multi-use tool) and flat nose pliers. These are all insulated and chrome-plated and manufactured to the highest quality.
The TIS range of KNIPEX tools
Other tools in the KNIPEX range include Twinkey control cabinet keys, a universal tool for opening cabinets and activating shut-off systems. We have a six-piece screwdriver set, insulation strippers for flat cable, folding knifes, stripping tools, diagonal cutters, bolt cutters, cable shears and screwdrivers of Phillips, slotted and Pozidriv variations. These are truly tools for industry but they service every possible need an electrical tester might have in preparing, testing and making-safe any type of equipment or situation in the workplace.
KNIPEX are well known for their sustainable practices, and this extends to their services being economically, socially and ecologically sustainable, so that they strive for economic success, but not at all costs. This gives TIS customers great satisfaction that they are being supplied by a business that is very aware, very conscious and very considerate.
Specialist sales support from TIS
We like to think we pass that on to our customers if they order KNIPEX products through us. We can cut out a lot of the cost and red tape that now comes with being supplied by a German company. TIS have shouldered that burden, so wholesale supplies of KNIPEX products are much easier sourced through TIS in the UK, than directly from KNIPEX in Germany. Furthermore, we have no minimum order quantities, you can order as much or as little as you want of any one tool, and we have professional sales support which you can access over the phone or by email, on promotional days or when we visit your site throughout the year.
But most of all, you have great access to the full KNIPEX range; high quality products at cost-effective prices and with the best sales support behind it. So get in touch with TIS today and let’s talk about the right KNIPEX tools for you.
