What happens here

Observe the demonstration of the Knipex Pliers Wrench on a square-headed fastener fixed to a red metal block. The demonstrator shows how the smooth jaws apply pressure evenly to the sides of the fastener, preventing rounding of the corners. This capability is crucial for maintaining the integrity of nuts and bolts, especially those made from softer materials or those that need to be reused.

Goal: Understand how the pliers wrench securely grips without damaging fasteners.

Tools and materials

  • Knipex Pliers Wrench Knipex — Demonstrating the gripping action
  • Red Metal Block with Square Fastener — A prop to demonstrate gripping nuts and bolts

What they say

Hide

So, this is our pliers wrench. Smooth lips here. So it's great for working with nuts, bolts, anything that's square in shape. Thanks to the built-in cam mechanism, for every 1 pound of force I apply to the handle, I get 10 on the jaws. So to show you that when you take on something like this, you're putting all the pressure on the side, so it doesn't round off at the corners. You can lift from the bottom, get a little ratcheting motion.
