KNIPEX 5" Flat Nose Pliers with Serrated Jaws – 20 01 125

Get a secure, controlled grip on wire and flat materials with these compact KNIPEX Flat Nose Pliers. Their short, wide jaws provide a broad gripping area, while the knurled surfaces help hold material firmly during gripping, bending, positioning, and adjustment.

At just 5" overall length, these pliers are compact enough for detailed bench work while still providing the wide, flat jaw profile needed for a confident grip. They're particularly useful for jewelry work, electronics, wirework, assembly, and other applications where a serrated flat jaw is preferred over a smooth jewelry plier.

Specifications

Short, Wide Flat Jaws

The defining feature of the 20 01 125 is its short, wide flat-jaw design.

Instead of concentrating pressure at a narrow point, the broad jaws provide a larger gripping area for holding flat stock, wire, components, and other small workpieces. The compact jaw length also makes the tool easy to control during detailed bench work.

KNIPEX specifically recommends this design for gripping flat materials in easily accessible areas.

Serrated Gripping Surfaces

The gripping surfaces are knurled rather than smooth, giving the jaws additional bite when holding a workpiece.

This is especially useful when you need a secure grip while bending, positioning, or manipulating wire and small components.

Because the jaws are serrated, however, they can leave impressions on softer or finished materials. For delicate jewelry surfaces where avoiding marks is the priority, a smooth-jaw plier may be a better choice.

Compact 5" Size

With an overall length of only 5" (125 mm), these pliers are particularly convenient for close bench work.

The smaller size provides good hand control for jewelry, electronics, model making, assembly, and other precision applications without sacrificing the broad gripping area of a traditional flat-nose plier.

Forged Special Tool Steel

KNIPEX manufactures the 20 01 125 from special tool steel that is forged and oil-hardened.

The pliers have a black atramentized finish with a polished head and plastic-coated handles, combining durable professional construction with a simple, compact handle design.

• Jewelry making

• Wire bending and forming

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the jaws smooth or serrated?
The gripping surfaces are serrated and knurled to provide a secure grip.

Are these suitable for jewelry making?
Yes. KNIPEX specifically lists jewelry work as an application for this model. The wide flat jaws are useful for gripping and manipulating wire.

Will the jaws mark soft wire?
They can. Because the gripping surfaces are serrated, they may leave impressions on soft or finished wire. If preventing surface marks is critical, choose smooth-jaw pliers instead.
