Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the TwinGrip Pliers?

The main advantage is their versatile gripping capability, especially the high-grip front jaw designed for worn fasteners, combined with a slim profile for tight spaces.

What is the gripping range of these pliers?

The pliers can hold and grip workpieces ranging from 4mm to 22mm in diameter.

Can these pliers be used for cutting wire?

No, the KNIPEX TwinGrip Pliers are designed for gripping and turning, not for cutting.

How do I adjust the grip size?

There is a five-step push-button adjustment. Press the button to open the jaws, position them, and release the button to engage the grip. The button can be slid to different positions for fine-tuning.

Are these pliers suitable for professional use?

Yes, they are constructed with robust materials and design features intended for demanding professional applications.

How do I clean and maintain the pliers?

Clean jaws with a dry cloth, use a damp cloth for tougher grime (drying immediately), and occasionally oil the pivot points and adjustment mechanism for smooth operation and rust prevention.

What does the 'pinch stop' feature do?

The pinch stop is a safety feature designed to reduce the risk of crushing your fingers when the jaws close.

Troubleshooting

Pliers won't grip workpiece securely.

Ensure the correct adjustment setting is selected on the push-button. Verify the workpiece diameter falls within the 4-22mm range. Clean the jaws of any dirt or grease.

Adjustment button is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the adjustment mechanism and apply a small amount of light machine oil. Work the button back and forth several times to distribute the lubricant.

Jaws feel loose or wobbly.

Check the pivot point for any debris. Ensure the pivot bolt is secure. If the issue persists, the tool may require professional servicing or replacement.

Pliers are difficult to open.

Ensure the push-button is fully depressed. Check for obstructions or damage to the jaw mechanism. Lubricate the pivot and adjustment areas.
