Knipex 85 51 180 A Spring Hose Clamp Pliers
The Knipex 85 51 180 A spring hose clamp pliers are a compact hand tool for opening and holding spring band clamps, standard hose clamps and wire clamps with nominal sizes up to 50 mm (maximum pipe diameter 5 cm). The tool is 180 mm long and features a slim head and rotating, universal grip inserts that ensure reliable engagement in confined spaces. Made from chrome-vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened for durability, the pliers also include a serrated jaw to help detach hoses gently.

Rotating universal grip inserts enable secure gripping of clamps in all positions and can be rotated even under load. The slim head design and narrow head width make the tool suitable for use in tight spaces. Constructed from chrome-vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened for long service life.
