Description
Knipex 8603180SBA 7-1/4″ (180mm) Pliers Wrench
One Tool. Zero Damage. Infinite Versatility.
The Knipex 86 03 180 SBA Pliers Wrench is a revolutionary hybrid that combines the versatility of a high-end adjustable wrench with the powerful gripping force of pliers. Designed for professionals who demand efficiency, this 7-1/4" tool replaces a full set of open-end wrenches—both metric and imperial—up to 1-1/2" (40mm). Unlike traditional wrenches that can round off nuts, the parallel smooth jaws provide a zero-backlash grip that prevents damage to sensitive or plated fittings, making it the gold standard for working directly on chrome.
Featuring a patented 10:1 lever transmission, this tool amplifies your hand strength ten-fold, allowing you to grip, hold, press, and bend workpieces with surgical precision. The ratchet-type principle allows for lightning-fast tightening and loosening without having to remove the tool from the fastener.
Key Performance Features:
- Universal Replacement: Replaces a complete set of inch and metric wrenches in a single, compact tool.
- Surface Protection: Smooth, parallel jaws ensure damage-free installation of chrome, brass, and other plated fittings.
- 10x Power Amplification: High lever transmission provides extreme gripping power for pressing and bending applications.
- Ratcheting Action: The unique jaw stroke allows for quick, repetitive turns similar to a socket wrench.
- Laser-Etched Scales: Features dual scales (Metric on front, Imperial on back) to preset the jaw opening before use.
- Push-Button Adjustment: 15 adjustment positions allow for a precise fit on any workpiece at the touch of a button.
