TwinGrip pliers
KNIPEX Tools launched its TwinGrip Pliers, the industry’s only slip joint pliers with a five-adjustment push-button. The TwinGrip features both front and side gripping areas. The front gripping area is ideal for gripping stripped screws and bolts while the jaws of the side gripping area feature opposing teeth that allow the TwinGrip to grip round, square and hex materials with maximum force. TwinGrip offers a gripping capacity for diameters and widths across the flats from 5/32" to 7/8" with just the push of a button. The TwinGrip easily grabs flat objects with its three-point contact system and its slim head design allows the pliers to work in confined, hard-to-reach spaces. Other features include a durable box joint design for great stability and a pinch guard to prevent an operator’s fingers from being pinched. The TwinGrip’s gripping surfaces have special hardened teeth (approx. 61 HRC) and the tool is made of high-grade chrome vanadium steel.
