Knipex Pliers Wrench pliers and a wrench in a single tool grey atramentized, with multi-component grips 180 mm 86 02 180

Very compact, handy tool, expensive, but you get what you pay for, a high quality tool. The parallel opening jaws are particularly useful on plated nuts which could be damaged with standard pliers ( yes I know you should use the proper sized spanner but not always available)

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.

Great product, useful for tightening SWA glands.

They are expensive but are well engineered to suit my needs. I recommend them to anyone who gets frustrated with other adjustable spanners/wrench tools.

Now my go-to tool for daily plumbing and heating use. Absolutely fantastic for chrome nuts on radiator valves, showers etc as they don’t leave a single mark. Typical incredible build quality from Knipex, will clearly last for years. Will be ordering a few more pairs soon in different sizes

This is a good Pliers/Wrench that electricians will find useful. Mmm, what to say about these Pliers/Wrench. It's easy to become complacent with tools so at first I just accepted that this was just a new addition to my tool bag. Firstly my likes; I like the flat jaws and the quick adjustment heads, the ability to hold onto round surfaces and the force that can be applied when using this tool. I have two pairs of VDE Cobra Pliers (which I find very useful) at this size but wanted to get a pair of these to compare and contrast. These are an interesting addition to my toolset and I need to adjust my methods of working to get the best from this tool. Why, because the principal benefit of using this tool comes from not having to apply force to hold the jaws together. This only works with the tool positioned in one direction and it is not always possible to correctly orient this tool in a confined space, or between pipes, or at a wall corner (so that you can correctly apply force). These are very expensive compared to a set of VDE Cobra pliers but they are useful, so I can recommend them to you for your tool bag.

Still going strong at 8 years after purchase. So versatile. Gets into tight spaces and good on chrome

The tiny Knipex pliers are very cute to hold but still feel really well built in the hand.Photo shows the 125mm pliers against a ruler and 6"/150mm adjustable pliers.The difference on the jaw position between the handle being fully open vs closed varies around 2.5 to 3.5mm and the tooth locations for increments seemed to be in the 1.5 to 2mm steps. The Knipex website states it has a capacity up to 23mm which I assume would be the jaw fully open on the largest tooth location of the 11 - which ties in with what I measured (11x1.8mm + 3mm).

These pliers were recommended by a professional who uses these pliers every day. I appreciate how well the pliers grip and how easily the jaws fit into tight places. I wish all my pliers were Knipex!

Excelente calidad, muy ligeras, parecieran algo frágiles pero no lo son, ayuda mucho en espacios reducidos, recomendable para edc

This variation of the Knipex Pliers Wrench with the improved ergonomic grip are wonderful if you need/want a more comfortable or functional grip. Make sure the sizing is right for you - 10" pliers sit toward the higher end of personal plier wrench options (smaller options can be just as capable), but, these are great to have just in case or if you want to have a more rounded out toolset.

Another awesome, powerful, little tool from Knipex. The quality of workmanship and design is evident. Although quite short at around 5” it still feels and performs very well. A very useful tool that fits in your pocket and can fit a wide range of fasteners etc. The smooth jaws ensure that fasteners with a nice finish don’t get marred easily. Excellent!

Always the Best!
