KNIPEX Tools introduced a new and improved version of its popular 10-inch Pliers Wrench.
The new Pliers Wrench is 15 percent lighter than the previous model and features an increased jaw capacity of two inches, as well as a narrow jaw profile for accessibility into confined areas. The Pliers Wrench is now available in a new black atramentized finish or in the original chrome plated finish. Other new features for the Pliers Wrench include recessed areas for a better grip and laser-etched inch markings that can be used to set the jaw width before working with the Pliers Wrench. The Pliers Wrench’s previous comfort grip handle has been slimmed down to allow for easier removal from tool pouches and pockets.
The full Pliers Wrenches line is forged and oil-hardened in chrome, vanadium electric steel and is also made available in 5" to 16" lengths with capacities from 7/8" to 3 3/8". Zero backlash jaw pressure prevents damage to edges, and the tool’s smooth jaws are designed to prevent it from marring any workpiece surfaces. The parallel jaws evenly distribute force for a secure grip that is 10 times the pressure applied to the handles.
“With a lighter design, increased jaw capacity and improved pinch guard, we reinvented the Pliers Wrench with the hands of our customers in mind,” said Todd Shumate, president, KNIPEX Tools. “Now, users can more easily get strong gripping performance in hard-to-reach areas without the risk of getting blood blisters or experiencing hand or finger pinching.”
