Liukupihdit Knipex 86 03 300

Knipex 86 03 300 slip-joint pliers are forged from chrome vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened for durability. At 300 mm overall length and a maximum nut capacity of 60 mm, these pliers combine adjustable jaw width with a ratchet-type tightening principle and zero-backlash jaw pressure to protect delicate edges while providing strong gripping power.

Advantages

The smooth jaws allow damage-free installation on plated and chrome fittings. Parallel, adjustable jaws ensure a solid grip across the full adjustment range, while the reliable hinge catch prevents unintentional shifting. A push-button quick-adjust mechanism and lever transmission greater than 10:1 deliver efficient tightening and release of bolted connections. The tool is also suitable for gripping, holding, pressing and bending workpieces.
