Overview

The KNIPEX 38 21 200 holds a 4.8-star rating, but over a smaller base of about 276 reviews and with no purchases recorded last month. At $40.29 it is priced with the other premium KNIPEX pliers here.

It is one of the few in this group with a published length, 9.5 inches, alongside a plastic handle and a 6.16-ounce weight. That longer reach is its clearest differentiator, useful for getting into deeper spaces, though steel grade and tip profile are still unlisted.

  • Top 4.8-star rating
  • Mid 6.16-ounce listed weight
  • Recognized KNIPEX brand

Cons

  • Smallest review base in this group at about 276

Performance notes

At 9.5 inches and 6.16 ounces, the 38 21 200 trades compactness for reach, suiting work in deeper or more confined assemblies. The plastic handle is the only grip detail; with no tip or steel spec, base fine-work suitability on the 4.8-star rating.

What buyers say

The 4.8-star average is encouraging, but the thinner review count and lack of recent sales mean less proof of broad demand than the other KNIPEX models here. Owners drawn to it tend to want the longer 9.5-inch reach.
