Our verdict

A Knipex gripping plier with an ergonomic plastic handle and a named DIN standard. The listing gives little on jaw type or size range.

Overview

A technician or mechanic picking up a Knipex gripping plier gets an ergonomic plastic handle in red and blue over a chrome finish. The listing names only gripping as the use, along with a DIN standard.

A named standard and an ergonomic handle give it some credibility for shop work. The listing is thin on the jaw design and says nothing about warranty beyond the spare part period.

Who it's for

Holding, turning and gripping fittings at a bench or in the field fits the named use. Cutting tasks call for a cutter pattern.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • DIN ISO 5748 specification
  • Light for its length
  • Spare parts period listed
Cons
  • Jaw design not described
  • Cutting width entry unclear
  • Warranty not stated
  • Material listed only as plastic

Performance notes

Grip depends on the jaw teeth and how the handle length multiplies squeeze force. An ergonomic handle spreads that force across the palm. The listing does not describe the jaws.
