The blue-red handles are two-component handles that insulate against cold and heat and offer the user greater comfort than regular plastic coatings. The yellow-red handles offer immersion insulation and meet the European standard EN 50110-1. The EN 50110-1 standard also determines the testing requirements for the pliers, with the final check for each pair of insulated KNIPEX pliers being a 10,000 volts dielectric strength check.
