What does SBA mean on Knipex part number? How to decipher Knipex part numbers.

Kyle Baccus1 Comment

If you’re shopping for Knipex Pliers you have probably seen some part numbers with the suffix of SBA.  We get questions about this from time to time and it simply means the tool will come in retail packaging like this image below.

Knipex SBA

It also means you will pay $1 extra for the tool.  Knipex offers some tools with or without the SBA packaging but many tools are only available one way or the other.

While we’re on the subject of part numbers lets take a look at how to decipher the Knipex part numbers.

knipex part numbers

  • The first two numbers are the Model. For example: 87 is for Cobra Pliers.
  • The third number is the style. For example: In long nose pliers, 1 is Flat Jaw, 2 is half round jaw, and 3 is round jaw.
  • The fourth number is the Head and Handle Finish.  See the Graphic Below.
  • The fifth, sixth and seventh numbers are the length. For example 180 is 180mm overall length.

Using this information you can tell Knipex part number 87 01 250 is a Cobra Plier(87) with the standard jaw(0), polished head with plastic coated handle (1), and is 250mm in overall length.

Knipex 9.4″ Lineman’s Pliers with Fish Tape Puller, Cutter and Crimper, Part number 09-11-240 0911240

Featured item:

In my opinion, these are the best lineman’s pliers available.

  • Solid construction for heaviest duty application.
  • High transmission ratio for easy cutting, requires 40% less effort compared with conventional combination pliers thanks to optimized transmission ratio.
  • Ergonomically optimized handle shape for firm contact to the hand and fatigue reducing operation.
  • Particularly effective cross-hatched, knurled gripping zone in the jaws – for strong gripping and pulling.
  • Additional gripping zone below the joint for powerful leverage and pressing performance.
  • Cutting edges, for soft and hard wire are additionally induction hardened to approximately 64 HRC.
  • Vanadium electric steel is forged and oil-hardened.
  • Fish tape puller in the joint gap with universal mandrel crimping point below the joint.
  • Handles with non-slip plastic coating.

Affordable, High Quality Torque Wrench for Coax Cable from Wiha Tools

Kyle BaccusLeave a comment

Coax Cable Torque Wrench

Wiha makes a series of Cable Keys for use with our standard Torque Screwdrivers, designed specifically to prevent over-tightening of all sizes of HEX cable connectors.

Over-torquing can possibly crush the insulation, as well as the center contacts and ground mating surfaces. Any change to those can alter the impedance and increase the VSWR. Under-torquing can be just as bad if an air-gap is left in the insulator, or the center pin or  ground mating surface isn’t fully engaged. This becomes a more significant problem with higher Gigahertz.

Typical Torque Settings for Coax Cable can Range from 3in-lb to 15in-lb depending on the connector type.  If you typically use Stainless Steel we recommend Wiha’s 7.5in-lb to 20in-lb Torque Screwdriver. For Brass Connectors you will need something lighter duty like the 15-80in-oz Torque Screwdriver.
