KNIPEX Tools - Pliers Wrench, Chrome (8603300), 12-Inch

I've been relying on the Knipex Pliers Wrench (86 03 180) for almost two years now, and it's become an indispensable tool in my toolbox. Here's what makes it a standout performer:Versatility Personified:Replaces Multiple Wrenches: This pliers wrench eliminates the need for a whole set of wrenches. It adjusts smoothly to fit various nut and bolt sizes, saving you time and effort searching for the right tool.Gently Does It: Unlike traditional wrenches, the pliers wrench grips surfaces securely without damaging them. This makes it ideal for working with delicate fittings like cable glands, where marring the surface is a concern.Efficiency at Work:One-Handed Wonder: The easy one-handed adjustment allows you to quickly change sizes without fumbling for multiple wrenches. This is a huge time-saver, especially when working in tight spaces.Stays Put: The secure locking mechanism ensures the adjusted size stays fixed, preventing accidental slipping and ensuring a proper fit every time.Metric and Imperial: No more guessing! The wrench displays both metric and imperial measurements, allowing you to tackle any job with confidence.Additional Strengths:Built to Last: The forged steel construction feels incredibly sturdy, and the quality materials ensure long-lasting performance.Comfortable Grip: The handles are designed for comfort, even during extended use.

Ok, so this little locking pliers is very small and very expensive at $50. But...it is extremely well-made and verry handy for working with small nuts and other computer parts. I love it, it's worth it to me!

I bought these about 8 months ago, and they’ve been right with me every single work day in my shirt pocket and many regular days. I work facility maintenance at a weld plant (mostly HVAC, electrical, controls, etc.). With these, my trusty extended reach Klein 6 in 1, and my Cobra ES pliers, there’s very little that can’t be disassembled or adjusted with ease.Anyway, they are perfect for maintenance. I use them to turn things, crush things, hold things, bend things, you get the idea.. The flat parallel jaws are perfect for not completely destroying what you’re working on. The fit and finish are exceptional. The smoothness of operation is exemplary (especially smooth after a few months of regular use and oiling), I often find myself playing with the pliers like a fidget toy. I’ve even used them as a hammer in a pinch a few times and it didn’t hurt them, they’re extremely tough. The button adjustment is quickly and easily done one handed, just sit the lower jaw in place, hit the button, and let gravity situate the top jaw. The plier action makes them like a faster wrench as well, loosening the grip is usually enough to come back and get another grip on the nut or whatever you’re turning so you can go without slowing down much if at all.I find the 180mm to be a perfect balance of size and power. The 250mm are a little heftier than I’d like for EDC, and it’s pretty rare in my work that they provide much advantage, but they definitely have their place as well- the team works exceptionally well for taking apart fluid lines and plenty of other automotive tasks. I rarely even bother looking for my standard wrenches anymore.10/10 I’d replace these if lost without question.

I have a few Knipex pliers and quite a few adjustable wrenches that I’ve accumulated over the years. Once this set came in the mail, it is all I reach for when doing car maintenance, plumbing work, and general DIY repairs around the house. The build quality is amazing and the warranty that backs up such a product I think definitely warrants the price point. I ordered the 10” and it is the perfect size for pretty much every job I’ve used it on so far. Large enough to offer good leverage while not being too cumbersome. I highly recommend buying this tool and I expect to get a lifetime of hard use out of it.

I’ve had multiple pairs of these. I’m a plumber and use them all the time for setting fixtures and connecting waters. Insanely useful and the 7” version fits in your pocket. They grip way better than an adjustable wrench so I find myself marring finishes on fittings a lot less.

Work great, very sturdy, surprisingly thin.

Must have tool. Very handy, and great quality

Exactly as advertised, exactly as the hype from allThe reviews. The price is kinda high but ones you get them and use them you will be ok with the price lol. I wasn’t sure if I should go with the 5 inch or 6 inch I was afraid the 5 inch would be small but it’s not it’s really comfortable in your hand and they get the job done. They are perfect for my edc tool kit.
