Knipex 86 01 180 Pliers Wrench – 180mm
The Knipex 86 01 180 Pliers Wrench – 180mm is a versatile professional hand tool designed to replace the need for multiple metric and imperial spanners. Combining the functions of pliers and a wrench, it is suitable for gripping, holding, pressing, bending and working with a wide range of nuts, fittings and components.
Its smooth parallel jaws provide secure, even contact without the serrated teeth found on conventional pliers. This helps prevent damage to sensitive or plated surfaces, making the tool particularly suitable for working directly on chrome fittings and finished components. Zero-backlash jaw pressure further helps protect the edges of sensitive workpieces.
Adjustment is quick and precise using the integrated push-button mechanism, allowing the jaw width to be set directly against the workpiece. Once adjusted, the design prevents unintended movement of the gripping jaws or slipping of the joint. A laser-cut adjustment scale also allows the required wrench opening to be preset before gripping.
The ratchet-style operating principle enables bolted connections to be tightened and released quickly without repeatedly removing the tool from the fastener. With 15 adjustment positions and gripping capacity across flats up to 40mm, the 180mm Knipex Pliers Wrench provides impressive capacity from a relatively compact tool.
Narrow gripping jaws improve accessibility where working space is restricted, while the optimised construction provides approximately 10% less weight while maintaining the same stability, making it a practical addition to professional installation and maintenance toolkits.
