What is the KNIPEX 86 03 250?
The KNIPEX 86 03 250 is a 250 mm pliers wrench that combines plier-style gripping with wrench functions. Its smooth, parallel jaws are designed to grip, hold, press, bend and tighten workpieces, reducing the need to carry separate metric and imperial spanner sets.
What size fasteners can the 86 03 250 handle?
The wrench opens to 52 mm, or 2 inches, and is intended for both metric and inch fasteners. That broad opening lets this 250 mm tool cover a range of nut sizes rather than being limited to one fixed wrench size.
How does this pliers wrench protect plated or delicate surfaces?
The 86 03 250 uses smooth, flat, parallel gripping faces rather than serrated teeth. The product information describes the jaws as suitable for working directly on chrome and says the parallel design and controlled jaw pressure help avoid damage at the edges of sensitive components.
How is the jaw opening adjusted?
The jaw opening is set with a push-button adjustment. The 250 mm version has 19 adjustment positions, and its parallel jaws can be set to the workpiece width; the retailer description also notes a locking mechanism intended to keep the jaws stable while working.
What is the 86 03 250 made from and where is it made?
The tool has a chrome-plated body made from forged, multi-stage oil-hardened chrome-vanadium electric steel. It has red plastic-coated handles and is identified as Made in Germany. The listed product dimensions are 250 mm long, with a reported weight of about 465 g on the distributor page.
What kinds of work is this pliers wrench suited for?
The 86 03 250 is suited to gripping, holding, pressing and bending workpieces, as well as tightening or releasing bolted connections. Its ratchet-style action is described as allowing quick tightening and release, while the high leverage is intended to provide strong gripping power.
