Two New TwinGrip Sizes Hit the North American Market

October 21, 2024

KNIPEX Tools has released two additional TwinGrip pliers to the North American market. The original 8″ TwinGrip Pliers was released in 2021 and quickly became one of the most popular tools used across a wide range of industries. With its popularity came requests for additional sizes to tackle an even larger array of tasks.

Both new models offer the same functionality as the original with varying capacities. The smaller 6″ TwinGrip (82 01 150) easily grips stripped screws and bolts with front & side gripping capacities of 1/8″ to 5/8″ while the larger 10″ TwinGrip (82 01 250) grips from 3/16″ to 1 1/16″. All models feature push-button adjustment – three adjustments for the 6″ and seven for the 10″ – allowing users to adjust the tool once and it stays. Other great 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.

10″ TwinGrip (82 01 250)

Peter Grable, KNIPEX Tools North America’s Senior Product Manager, played a large role in developing the original 8″ TwinGrip. “After spending time with tradesmen to better understand what gaps they had in their tool bag and how their standard pair of slip joint pliers could be better, we knew the TwinGrip would be a popular tool.” He continued, “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”.

The new TwinGrip’s are available for purchase individually or in a 3 Pc. Set (00 20 06 US4).

Two additional items are included in this month’s roll out from the pliers experts. 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 commonly used tools for EV work. Next, the 8 1/2″ PreciForce® Crimping Pliers (97 52 42) for solar cable connectors MC4/MC4 EVO 2. All new items are now available at select distributors across North America.
