Technical Attributes

Pliers and spanner in a single tool

The compact Knipex 86 05 180 pliers wrench – manageable size for a powerful grip

With its manageable size of 180 mm, the pliers wrench is also a versatile tool in confined work situations. It grips all widths up to 35 mm or 1 3/8 inches, replaces a whole set of spanners - metric and imperial – and can be adjusted quickly and directly on the component at the push of a button. The hinge bolt then engages securely, preventing inadvertent adjustment. When under tension, the smooth gripping jaws are parallel to each other in every position, and hold the component accurately and with zero backlash, without damaging edges and sensitive surfaces such as chrome or brass - important during plumbing and heating installation for example.

Pleasant to use

The multi-component grip on the handles is made from two components with varying degrees of softness. These guarantee that the tool is pleasant to use even in the case of frequent use, and that there is optimal pressure and force distribution. The excellent mechanics of the pliers wrench reinforce the manual force applied 10 times over. It holds components as securely as a bench vice. Even flat objects can be gripped extremely well and processed simply thanks to the high pressing force and parallel jaws. Work according to the ratchet principle: the ratchet function between the gripping jaws permits screwing in a similar way to a ratchet, enabling screw connections to be loosened or tightened quickly without the need to reapply the wrench after every screw movement.

Many additional application options

The pliers wrench grips, screws, bends and presses even hot, sharp-edged, dirty, small or slippery objects. It holds objects powerfully and securely at all times, while also enabling sensitive and measured insertion, such as of connector halves or assembly components. It is also a useful helper when working with contact adhesives (pressing to activate the adhesive force) or when breaking open cable ties or breaking the edges of tiles. It also provides outstanding service as a helper in the car or boat or when out on a motorbike or cycle.

Knipex quality: the 86 05 180 pliers wrench is manufactured in the Knipex factory in Wuppertal-Cronenberg using quality materials. As with the other models of pliers from the Knipex think tank, it stands for top quality and therefore - when used correctly - also for exceptional durability.
