Pipe Wrench Knipex 86 02 250 Grey Red Jaw Width 5.2 cm

The Knipex 86 02 250 pipe wrench is designed for gripping and turning pipes and fittings with a jaw width of 5.2 cm. With a tool depth of 250 mm and an overall jaw opening suited to common plumbing sizes, this wrench offers a balance of working reach and compact handling. The grey body combined with a red handle provides a non-slip surface for manual torque application and helps with tool identification on a worksite.

Advantages

The pipe wrench features hardened gripping surfaces for reliable hold on round workpieces and a stable jaw geometry that reduces slippage during turning. The handle shape and coating are engineered for comfortable grip and improved control when applying torque. The tool’s construction emphasizes durability for frequent use in plumbing and pipe installation tasks.

How to use

Position the wrench jaws around the pipe or fitting so the hardened gripping surfaces contact the workpiece securely. Apply steady force to the handle in the required direction to turn or stabilize the pipe, keeping the wrist aligned to avoid sudden slips. For threaded connections, use controlled torque and, if necessary, alternate between two tools to prevent damage to fittings. After use, clean any debris from the jaws and store the wrench in a dry place to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the pipe wrench on clean contact surfaces and avoid excessive impact or hammering on the tool. Inspect the gripping surfaces regularly for wear and replace the tool if the jaws no longer provide secure engagement. When working with coated or softer pipes, consider protective measures to prevent surface damage while maintaining sufficient grip.
