Tools, EDCDescription
The Knipex 86 04 100 is the ultra-compact "XS" version of the classic Knipex pliers wrench. Measuring only 100 mm (4 inches) in length, it is one of the smallest fully functional pliers wrenches in the world, designed for high-precision work in extremely tight spaces.
Design: Despite its diminutive size, it retains the smooth, parallel jaws of its larger counterparts. This allows for damage-free gripping and turning of polished fittings and sensitive surfaces.
One-Handed Adjustment: Unlike the push-button mechanism of the larger models, the XS uses a unique sliding mechanism that can be operated with one hand. You simply slide one handle to adjust the jaw width directly on the workpiece.
Grip and Leverage: The tool features a 10-to-1 leverage ratio, meaning the gripping force is ten times the hand force applied. This gives this pocket-sized tool an incredible "bite" for its size.
Textured Handles: The handles are not plastic-coated but instead feature a textured embossed surface to provide a secure grip while keeping the profile as slim as possible for pocket carry.Made/Created
