With the launch of the new app “KNIPEX – pliers finder for professionals”, the world’s leading pliers manufacturer is taking the next step in digitizing its product catalog. The app is now available to discover product information about the Germany-based manufacturer’s hand tools or to find the right tool for a specific application – whether on the job site or on the road.
The new app’s goal is to bring the KNIPEX product line into the mindset of integrators. With over 1,300-plus tools in the product assortment, the Product Search Functionality allows users to quickly find an item simply by searching for the keyword or part number and the relevant tools & information are right at your fingertips.
The KNIPEXplorer product finder is a new resource for pipe cutting and crimping. App users are prompted to enter information such as the application and material used and the KNIPEXplorer will suggest the right tool for the job. Additional tool categories will be included in the KNIPEXplorer in coming months.
With the Augmented Reality Function (AR) select tools can be placed virtually on your workbench or job site. Simply switch on the camera and view the pliers in three dimensions; rotate, zoom, and place them anywhere in your environment.
In an integrated Wishlist, users can save all KNIPEX tools of interest to them in their personal user account. North American users can also utilize the Where to Buy feature to find both online and in-store retailers carrying the KNIPEX line and navigate directly to their websites to make a purchase the company states.
