Description

Knipex tools is the world’s largest manufacturer of professional pliers since 1882. Knipex pliers, cutters, insulated tools and other products have been the tools of choice for professional tradesmen and end users who are serious about their hand tools and demand industrial quality. Knipex tools are made from start to finish utilizing the highest quality materials. Based in Germany, Knipex tools are German engineered to produce a tool unmatched in the industry in terms of features, comfort, design and performance. Self-ratcheting action (view larger).A one-of-a- kind tool with unlimited possibilities, the patented, easy-to-use Knipex pliers wrench is a fantastic tool for fastening, gripping, holding, and bending. Its slim profile allows easy access to confined spaces, making it one of the most versatile tools in your toolbox. This model (86 03 250) has a 10-inch length and a 1-3/4-inch opening capacity. It features a time-saving push button adjustment with 17 adjustment settings and infinite positions for quickly locking onto a variety of workpieces. Its parallel smooth jaws avoid damaging soft or plated materials and provide even, full-contact gripping of a wide range of sizes. It's a great tool for tightening locknuts, exerting pressure to activate the adhesive power of contact adhesives, edge breaking in tile work, snapping cable ties, and utilization as a small vice.Unlike an open-end wrench with uneven compression that can cause surface damage, this Knipex pliers wrench offers zero backlash under pressure. With a 10-to-1 lever ratio, the cam action design ensures a strong, secure grip without hand or wrist strain. The self-ratcheting action allows for fast, easy operation while eliminating the need for additional tools. The Knipex pliers wrench is available in a number of grips and sizes for a variety of applications.Excellent for gripping, holding, pressing, and bending applications (view larger).Quality in Every DetailSometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look. The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied users are worth this effort.Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.About KnipexHeadquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, Knipex is an independently-owned family enterprise steeped in tradition and specializing in the manufacturing of high-quality pliers. It all started back in 1882 when C. Gustav Putsch set up his own forge shop in Cronenberg (now a suburb of Wuppertal), and the company is now run by a fourth generation of that family. The world's leading brand in pliers today, Knipex is focused on the performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools in order to meet the high expectations of professional users.86 03 250 Pliers Wrench, 10-InchAt a GlanceSlim profile design head fits into tight placesSmooth, parallel gripping jaws for work on sensitive surfacesAdjustment at the touch of a button, and stays fixed for repetitive workInfinitely variable adjustment of widths across flats for metric and inch workpiecesCam drive increases force to up to 10 times the applied hand powerChrome vanadium electric steel, forged and oil hardened See larger image.

  • Not a father's day tool gimmic. These are awesome!
Pattern Name: Pliers Wrench
At work, I often have to disconnect and reconnect fittings of various sizes on equipment manufactured overseas. I also prefer not to drag around a handful of wrenches, and I hate adjustable crescent wrenches since they either adjust too tight or too lose. These are a cross between adjustable pliers and an adjustable wrench, but unlike most compromise/hybrid tools, these actually inherit the best of both worlds. These have become my favorite tool. They can adjust to hold a wide variety of sizes, and because they grip like pliers, they work equally well on small stuff as they do large stuff. Sometimes it takes a little playing around to get the correct jaw setting for some size nuts in order to get a good rhythm down, but once you do they work really fast to remove stuff (I use them a lot on Swagelock fittings). They are lighter than an adjustable crescent wrench and much more versatile, but they are very strong. They only have two downsides: They are expensive. This is the most expensive hand tool I have ever bought. But I figure if I use it for years and years instead of buying a cheap adjustable wrench that I carelessly misplace after the jaw becomes loose and damages what I am working on, I figure its well worth it. The only thing they are not good for is breaking loose something very tight, and for irregular shaped parts. For that, I get the Knipex Cobras. They leave teeth marks, but they will grip anything and everything you can fit in the jaws. ... show more

  • Better than a crescent wrench
Pattern Name: Pliers Wrench
Knipex makes some of the best quality pliers, and these might be my favorite. I was sick of crescent wrenches slipping on me, whereas these lock into whatever size you desire. They are strong, and I prefer them to a standard wrench whenever I can use them. The smooth jaws ensure that they will not mar up whatever you are working on, and the surface finish has stayed smooth after many years of use. ... show more

  • Great for use as a slip-wrench and for bending metal.
Pattern Name: Pliers Wrench
Super easy to use as a slip wrech for quickly tightening or loosening fittings. The level closing of the jaws make them great for flattening/straightening/bending smaller or thinner pieces of metal. Great leverage at this size. The price is a little higher than some others, but my experience with Knippex is that they've always built high quality tools. ... show more

  • Valuable tool
Pattern Name: Pliers Wrench
If you do a lot of alignments this tool is great to spin tie rods. Combine this with a big adjustable wrench to break the tie rod nut and you’ll never need to dig through wrenches again for certain sizes. The amount of grip this thing gives you is impressive. Very happy with it using it daily for a a while now. ... show more

  • Good Quality Wrenches
Pattern Name: Pliers Wrench
I replaced all of my adjustable wrenches with a full set of these wrenches, mechanism keeps a tight grip on hex nuts. Plus this product is not made in China.

  • An incredible tool
Pattern Name: Pliers Wrench
I'm so happy this type of tool was invented. I have Craftsman (old school, made in the USA) and Klein adjustable wrenches, and while those tools are pretty good as far as adjustable wrenches go, these piler wrenches knock them out of the park. You get nice clamping force, so no more rounding bolts, and it's much easier to use them overall. I already used them within a few minutes of them arriving on the project that was in progress and I'm very satisfied. ... show more

  • Just. Buy. Them.
Pattern Name: Pliers Wrench
These pliers wrenches are everything I hoped they would be. I was hesitant because they were a little pricey but worth every penny. I have both the 180’s and the 250’s and something would to happen to either of them I would replace them immediately. I do residential maintenance and 75% of what I do it plumbing. If you do plumbing on a semi regular basis you will really appreciate these pliers. I carry both in my bag every day. I will say I still do carry 2 different sized adjustable wrenches. While these pliers are amazing I do not feel they are a direct replacement but complement my setup very well. I say this only because I personally don’t believe you would be able to put the amount of torque or force on the mechanism on these pliers wrenches as you would be able to with a traditional adjustable (Crescent) wrench. ... show more

  • Best tool I’ve bought in a long time.
Pattern Name: Pliers Wrench
I recently wrote a review for the 7 inch version of these pliers wrenches. These are simply a 10 inch version of the 7 inchers. Rather than rehash the exact review twice I will simply say they are one of the best additions I have made to my toolbox in a very long time. They combine all the strengths of channel locks and box wrenches into one tool that does is very useable and solid. For a more detailed review see my review of the 7 inchers, if you are just looking for a thumbs up or down, this is a solid two thumbs up. ... show more
