Knipex Expands its Grip With Two New Sizes of TwinGrip Pliers
Knipex Tools has expanded its TwinGrip plier line with two additional sizes for the North American market.
 |
| Two new sizes, a 6-inch and 10-inch model of Knipex's popular TwinGrip slip-joint pliers are now available. |
The popular tools are now available in additional 6-inch and 10-inch sizes, along with the original 8-inch model that debuted in 2021. The original TwinGrip slip-joint pliers remain one of the company’s most popular tools used across a wide range of industries. Over the past few years, Knipex has received multiple requests for additional sizes.
“After spending time with tradesmen to better understand what gaps they had in their tool bags and how their standard pair of slip joint pliers could be better, we knew the TwinGrip would be a popular tool,” said Peter Grable, Knipex Tools North America senior product manager, who played a role in developing the original 8-inch TwinGrip. “The response was even better than expected so we quickly got to work with our colleagues in Germany to select the next sizes in the assortment.”
Both new models offer the same functionality as the original with varying capacities. The smaller 6-inch TwinGrip (82 01 150) easily grips stripped screws and bolts with front & side gripping capacities of 1/8 to 5/8 inch while the larger 10-inch TwinGrip (82 01 250) grips from 3/16 to 1 1/16 inch.

| The new Knipex TwinGrip pliers are available for purchase individually or in a three-piece set |
All models feature push-button adjustments, three for the 6 inch and seven for the 10 inch, allowing users to adjust the tool once and it stays. Other features include a slim head for working in confined spaces, reliable front gripping of flat workpieces due to the three-point gripping system, and a pinch guard.
The new TwinGrip’s are available for purchase individually or in a three-piece set (00 20 06 US4).
Two additional items are included Knipex’s roll out of new tools this month. First, a 12 Pc. 1000V insulated EV Kit (9K 00 80 168 US) was developed in partnership with EV auto mechanics and includes twelve of the most used tools for EV work. Next, the 8 ½ inch PreciForce crimping pliers (97 52 42) for solar cable connectors.
