Pliers Knipex KP-8701150 Handle colour Red Length 150 mm Weight 145 g

The Knipex KP-8701150 pliers with red handles are compact combination pliers designed for precise gripping and safe operation. At 150 mm length and 145 g weight, they offer a balance of control and portability for a range of maintenance and assembly tasks. Constructed from chrome vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened, these pliers provide durable performance and wear-resistant components.

Advantages

Adjustment at the touch of a button directly on the workpiece allows quick size changes without separate tools. Fine adjustment ensures optimum adaptation to different workpiece sizes and a comfortable handle width. The self-locking feature on pipes and nuts prevents slipping and reduces the hand force required. Gripping surfaces have specially hardened teeth (approx. 61 HRC) for low wear and stable holding. A box-joint design with double guide increases stability, and a reliable catch of the hinge bolt prevents unintentional shifting. A guard reduces the risk of pinched fingers.

Suitable for

• Precision gripping and holding of small parts
• Working on pipes and nuts where self-locking is beneficial
• Maintenance, electrical and mechanical assembly tasks
• DIY projects requiring durable, compact pliers

How to use

Place the pliers on the workpiece and press the adjustment button to set the jaw opening to the required size. Use the fine adjustment to adapt precisely to the diameter of pipes or the thickness of nuts and components. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the self-locking mechanism engages when holding round objects. Operate with controlled hand force and use the guard as support to avoid pinching.

Usage recommendations

For longer tool life, keep the pliers clean and lightly lubricated on the hinge. Avoid using the pliers on fasteners or materials that exceed the tool's intended size and strength limits. Inspect the hardened gripping surfaces periodically and replace the tool if significant wear or damage is detected.
