KNIPEXMini pliers wrench pliers and a wrench in a single tool chrome-plated, plastic coated 125 mm 86 03 125

I have owned both these pliers and plus the larger - 250mm - version for many years. They have proven to be one of the best tools that I have ever owned and I am a craftsman who owns virtually every type hand tool available. I have purchased this additional pair as a Christmas present for my brother in law who has much admired my pliers for many years.These Knipex pliers have smooth square jaws so can be used for gripping without damage (especially if a vulnerable item is protected by a soft piece of Fabric/leather etc prior to closing), clamping, holding, pressing, bending and most importantly for me, as a quick release spanner. Used in conjunction with the larger version they are a very effective way of tightening and loosening the unions on taps, central heating radiators and general pipework - especially the larger nut sizes where suitable sized spanners are not always readily to hand.The simple, but immediate, infinitely adjustable nature of the operating mechanism of these pliers is one of their biggest attributes especially in often difficult or restricted access applications.The Knipex pliers are extremely well made in cast Chrome Vanadium are extremely sturdy and are truly built to last a lifetime (and even much longer I suspect). Mine are over ten years old and used regularly yet are showing no signs of wear whatsoever.Knipex tools are not the cheapest - but the best tools never are. However, Lackner & Urnitsch GMBH helped to ease this burden by offering the pliers at a 31%, discount - the best deal that I could find anywhere on the Internet at the time.To sing the praises of Lackner & Urnitsch although based in Germany they delivered the pliers to me in double quick time, boxed, then very well and safely packed with a neatly typed invoice within and a tourist map of their locality. They are an excellent and efficient company to deal with and cannot be faulted - I am 110% happy with my transaction - Highly recommended.

It’s expensive but works extremely well

I am absolutely blown away by the performance of my Knipex Pliers Wrench! This tool is truly a game-changer when it comes to gripping and tightening nuts and bolts. The unique design allows for a smooth and precise grip, without damaging the surface of the nut or bolt. The pliers wrench also allows for a greater degree of flexibility in tight spaces, making it an incredibly versatile tool to have in any toolkit.What I love most about this pliers wrench is the high-quality construction and durable materials. The chrome vanadium steel is incredibly strong and resistant to wear and tear, making this a long-lasting investment for any handyman or DIY enthusiast. The non-slip grip also adds an extra level of safety and control, ensuring that the pliers wrench won't slip or cause any accidents while in use.Overall, I highly recommend the Knipex Pliers Wrench to anyone in need of a high-quality wrench. It's definitely worth the investment, I can never go back to a standard ordinary adjustable wrench.

Excellent grip, excellent quality and excellent tool

I waited to get these as I was unsure if it was worth spending the money as I own a few pairs of Cobras already. They are 100% worth every penny and get used a huge amount. The comfort grip is worth spending a little more on if you plan on using them a lot.

These are up in the best looking tools.However unlike a supermodel, these also serve a genuine purpose.Once you get the adjustment size dialed in to the nut(s) your try to loosen/tighten, these are fantastic, as you can sort of use them as a ratchet spanner. Can be a bit of a pain to adjust on the fly.Having jaws that remain parallel, are a game changer, as less likely to slip and damage nut(s), and boy do these grip tighter than a ferret on Richard Whiteley’s finger (quick search and you’ll easily find this).Do you really VDE version? probable not, unless you know your going to be working live or live in constant fear of getting electrocuted.They are very pricey, but they look so good, feel great in your hands and do a fantastic job, once dialed in.I ended up buying a pair of these for mainly working on SWA glands (never live but the way). Did I pay full price, no waited and waited until they went on sale. Almost got them two for the price of one.My adjustables still come out to play when tight for space, or need narrow width jaws.
