Overview
The KNIPEX 00 20 72 V01 at $109.99 is the higher-priced variant of the 00 20 72 V01 lineup, distinguished by its published 9.5-inch length, non-slip plastic coating on the handles, and a 13.12-ounce weight. These published specs give buyers a clearer picture of the physical format than the $101.99 variant, which does not list its length. The non-slip plastic coating adds grip security without the bulk of full rubber overmolding, and the 9.5-inch length places it in the medium-length range for utility pliers.
With 1,000 reviews at 4.8 stars, this variant has solid validation within the KNIPEX family. The $109.99 price point is $8 more than the metal-handled 00 20 72 V01 at $101.99, with the trade-off being a non-slip coated handle versus bare metal. For buyers who use pliers bare-handed for extended periods, the non-slip coating is a meaningful ergonomic upgrade. Zero units bought last month in the current data cycle may reflect seasonal demand or listing positioning.
Based on specs and verified owner reviews, the 9.5-inch length and 13.12-ounce weight indicate a single or compact dual-plier format rather than a large multi-piece set. The non-slip plastic coating is consistent with KNIPEX's approach to grip comfort on tools intended for sustained professional use. Buyers should confirm the exact piece count and plier types in the current listing, as the weight and length specs suggest a specific, purpose-configured set rather than a general-purpose toolkit.

Performance notes
The 9.5-inch length positions this set for general-purpose gripping and manipulation tasks where a medium-length plier is optimal. At 13.12 ounces with non-slip plastic coating, the handles provide a secure grip during both dry and moist conditions. The non-slip coating is typically a thin, textured overlay on the plastic body, offering improved purchase over bare metal without the thickness of rubberized overmolds. KNIPEX jaw construction maintains precision alignment through high-cycle professional use.
What buyers say
Owners from the 1,000-review pool highlight the non-slip grip and the physical fit of the 9.5-inch format as primary strengths. The KNIPEX brand expectation is generally met, and the 4.8-star rating reflects strong satisfaction with the product as described. Some buyers note they selected this variant specifically for the non-slip coating over the metal-handle option, suggesting the grip distinction drives purchasing decisions within the 00 20 72 V01 family.
What is the difference between this $109.99 KNIPEX 00 20 72 V01 and the $101.99 variant?
This $109.99 version lists a 9.5-inch length and non-slip plastic coating on the handles. The $101.99 variant lists metal handles and a lighter 0.35-kilogram weight. Buyers who prefer a coated non-slip grip should choose this version; those who prefer metal handles can consider the lighter variant.
Is 9.5 inches a standard length for a professional plier set?
Yes. Pliers in the 8 to 10-inch range are considered medium-length and are the most broadly useful for gripping, bending, and manipulation tasks across mechanical and maintenance trades.
