German KNIPEX tools KNIPEX models KNIPEX prices

KNIPEX tools is a general term for various metal devices manufactured through physical processing such as forging, rolling, and cutting of metals like iron, steel, and aluminum. Hardware tools, classified by product application, include: tool hardware, construction hardware, daily-use hardware, locks and abrasives, kitchen and bathroom hardware, home hardware, and hardware components. They include various manual, electric, pneumatic, and cutting tools; automotive maintenance tools; agricultural tools; lifting tools; measuring tools; tool machinery; cutting tools; jigs and fixtures; cutters; molds; cutting edges; grinding wheels; drill bits; polishing machines; tool accessories; measuring instruments and cutting edges; painting tools; abrasives and grinding materials; manual socket wrench sockets; striking open-end wrenches and striking box-end wrenches.

KNIPEX tool classification

1) Tools: Magnetic properties of materials are often utilized in production to facilitate operations, such as magnetic screwdrivers used in electronic product assembly. In machining, large amounts of fine iron chips are generated. These chips flow back with the cooling medium into recovery containers, often causing circuit blockages and making cleaning inconvenient. A magnetic oil trough can be installed on the machine tool. During metal cutting, the cooling medium containing iron chips flows from the worktable oil drain into the oil trough. As it passes through the filter screen, the iron chips are blocked and accumulate on one side of the screen due to the action of ring magnets, while the cooling medium flows into the oil tank through oil channels. For cleaning, the oil trough can be easily lifted to dump the chips. 2) Molds: When bending and forming workpieces with complex shapes, eccentric centers of gravity may cause instability if the mold is too small, potentially leading to cantilever effects, flipping, or warping. For example, adding a positioning magnet to the die cavity can assist in workpiece positioning, reducing mold volume while increasing positioning reliability. 3) Auxiliary tools: In stamping production, steel plates stacked together have no gaps and adhere due to atmospheric pressure, making material handling difficult. This issue can be resolved by installing a magnetic auxiliary workbench close to the press. The working principle involves fixing a baffle plate on the workbench with a magnet on one side. The sheet metal to be processed is placed against the other side of the baffle. During operation, vibrations caused by the up-and-down movement of the press slider and cutting forces cause the sheets to vibrate. The top sheet, unable to overcome the magnetic force due to insufficient gravity, leans against the baffle, naturally creating a gap for easier material handling. The magnetic force can be adjusted by changing the baffle thickness. Magnetic force acts like an invisible hand to hold workpieces. By cleverly using magnet technology, we simplify tool structures, improve workpiece process performance, and make production easier, demonstrating that magnetic tools can yield unexpected results.

KNIPEX tool selection

Precautions for selecting power tools: First, power tools are handheld or portable mechanized tools powered by electric motors or electromagnets, driving working heads via transmission mechanisms. Power tools feature portability, simple operation, and diverse functions, significantly reducing labor intensity, improving work efficiency, and mechanizing manual operations. Consequently, they are widely used in construction, housing decoration, automotive, mechanical, electrical, bridge, and gardening sectors, and have extensively entered households. Characteristics of power tools include lightweight structure, small size, low weight, low vibration, low noise, flexible operation, ease of control and handling, portability, robustness, and durability. Compared to manual tools, they can increase labor productivity by several to dozens of times; compared to pneumatic tools, they offer higher efficiency, lower costs, and easier control.

KNIPEX tool usage

1) Plane blade adjustment: When installing the plane blade, first fit it properly with the cap iron, controlling the distance between their cutting edges, then insert it into the plane body. With the cutting edge close to the sole, add the wedge, press down slightly, hold the left corner of the sole with the left hand, and use the thumb to secure the wedge, cap iron, and blade. Use a hammer to adjust the cutting edge so it protrudes from the mouth. The amount of protrusion is proportional to the cutting depth: more for rough planing, less for fine planing. To check the blade protrusion, lift the plane with the left hand, sole facing up, and sight along it with one eye. If the protrusion is inappropriate, lightly tap the upper end of the blade. If it protrudes too much and needs retraction, lightly tap the rear end of the plane body. If one corner of the cutting edge protrudes, lightly tap the upper side of that same corner of the blade. 2) Planing techniques: When planing, extend the index fingers of both hands forward to press on the plane body, press the thumbs on the rear of the blade, and grip the handles firmly with the remaining fingers and palms. Keep the plane body level and apply uniform force with both hands. When pushing forward, increase pressure with both thumbs and slightly with the index fingers; gradually reduce pressure towards the front until no pressure is applied. When retracting, slightly lift the rear of the plane to prevent the cutting edge from dragging on the wood surface, which causes dulling. When planing long stock, step forward with the left foot, followed by the right. Before planing long stock, determine whether the surface is heartwood or sapwood; generally, heartwood is cleaner with clearer grain. For heartwood, plane from root to tip; for sapwood, plane from tip to root. Planing along the wood grain saves effort; otherwise, tear-out may occur, resulting in a rough, uneven surface and excessive effort. During planing, keep the sole tightly against the wood surface. Do not lift the front at the start, and do not let the front dip at the end (commonly known as 'nodding'). Otherwise, the middle of the planed surface will bulge unevenly, a common beginner's mistake that must be corrected.
