Πένσα με συρόμενη άρθρωση Knipex 86 03 180

Slip-joint pliers Knipex 86 03 180 are adjustable pliers designed to replace sets of metric and imperial spanners and to work directly on plated and chrome fittings without causing damage. The tool features smooth, parallel jaws with zero-backlash pressure and a ratchet-type adjustment that provides strong, controlled gripping and reliable catching of the hinge bolt. Made from chrome vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened, these pliers have a length of 180 mm and narrow gripping jaws for access in tight situations.

Advantages

The narrow, smooth jaws allow damage-free installation and tightening of plated fittings and chrome parts while the parallel jaw design ensures a solid grip across the entire jaw face. A push-button adjustment lets you change jaw width quickly on the workpiece, and the ratchet-type principle enables fast tightening and release of bolted connections. Lever transmission greater than 10:1 gives strong gripping power, and zero-backlash jaw pressure protects edges of sensitive components. The forged, oil-hardened chrome vanadium steel construction ensures durability.

Suitable for

• Tightening and loosening nuts and bolts where slim access is required
• Working on plated or chrome fittings without scratching
• Gripping, holding, pressing and bending small workpieces
• General professional and DIY maintenance tasks

How to use

Press the release button to adjust the slip-joint position directly on the workpiece, place the smooth parallel jaws around the fastener or workpiece and release the button to lock the selected width. Use the ratchet-type action to tighten or release bolted connections, applying steady hand force; the lever transmission provides increased gripping power. For gripping or bending tasks, position the workpiece close to the hinge for maximum mechanical advantage. Avoid excessive sideways force to prevent tool or fastener damage.

Recommendations

Use these pliers for tasks requiring a slim tool profile and for work on plated or chrome surfaces where damage-free gripping is important. Regularly check the joint for wear and keep the tool clean and lightly oiled to maintain smooth adjustment and long service life.
