Adjustable pliers and wrench in one tool Knipex 400mm PVC handle (86 03 400)

The Knipex adjustable pliers and wrench in one tool is a 400 mm combination tool with PVC-coated handles designed for gripping, turning and clamping a wide range of fasteners, pipes and profiles. Its long jaw length and adjustable pivot allow multiple gripping widths, enabling the tool to function both as pliers and as a wrench in many maintenance and assembly tasks. The durable construction and ergonomic PVC handles provide controlled force transfer and reduce hand fatigue during repeated use.

Advantages

This 400 mm combination tool integrates the functions of adjustable pliers and a wrench, reducing the need to switch tools during work. The adjustable pivot gives precise stepwise width settings for secure grip on various shapes, while the extended jaw length improves access to deeper or recessed fittings. PVC-coated handles offer a comfortable grip and electrical insulation only for touch protection in non-live environments. The solid build ensures consistent clamping force and long service life under normal workshop and field conditions.

Suitable for

• Plumbing tasks such as tightening and holding pipes and fittings
• Mechanical maintenance and repair in workshops and garages
• Assembly and disassembly of profiles, fasteners and valves
• General-purpose use where a single tool is preferred over separate pliers and a wrench

Key specifications

• Overall length: 400 mm
• Tool type: combination adjustable pliers and wrench
• Handle material: PVC-coated ergonomic handles
• Adjustable pivot for multiple jaw width settings
• Long jaw design for extended reach and access
• Material: hardened steel construction for durability

How to use

Select an appropriate jaw width by opening the tool and engaging the pivot in the desired setting, then position the jaws around the fastener, pipe or profile. Apply steady pressure to clamp the workpiece securely, and turn or hold as required. For tasks requiring higher torque, ensure the jaws are properly seated and the grip is centered on the workpiece. After use, wipe the tool clean and store in a dry place to avoid corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool for gripping and turning tasks on non-live electrical equipment only; the PVC handles provide touch protection but are not a substitute for insulated tools rated for live circuits. Regularly inspect jaws for wear, keep the pivot joint lightly lubricated, and avoid using the tool as a hammer or pry bar to preserve alignment and jaw integrity.
