KNIPEX Tools - Pliers Wrench, (8603250), 10in (Open Box)

I recently picked up the KNIPEX 7 1/4-Inch Pliers Wrench (model 8601180) after hearing so many good things about this online, and I have to say — it lives up to the reputation. Build Quality: Like other KNIPEX tools I own, the fit and finish are top-notch. The black finish looks great and feels durable. The jaws line up perfectly, and the adjustment mechanism is smooth and precise. There’s no play or slop, which really inspires confidence when you need to grip something tightly without marring the surface. Performance: This pliers wrench is excellent for light to moderate fastening tasks, especially where you don’t want to damage chrome or delicate fittings. It works well as an adjustable wrench replacement, and it grips more securely than many traditional crescent wrenches. The parallel jaws are a brilliant design — they apply even pressure and help avoid rounding nuts or fittings. Comfort & Ergonomics: It feels great in my hand — the handles are comfortable even during firm squeezing. The only minor downside for me is that this particular size is a bit smaller than I expected. It’s perfect for tight spaces and smaller fittings, but if you’re often working with larger nuts or need more leverage, you might want to go up a size. Value: KNIPEX tools are definitely an investment — they’re more expensive than some other brands — but the quality, precision, and long-term reliability justify the price in my opinion. It’s one of those tools that feels good every time you pick it up. Final Thoughts: If you need a compact, precise, and versatile pliers wrench, this is an excellent choice. Just be sure to match the size to your usual tasks — I love this one for small to medium jobs, but I might add a larger one to my toolbox soon. ✅ Would I buy it again? Yes — and I’m already eyeing the larger size! ✅ Would I recommend it? Absolutely, especially for anyone who appreciates well-made hand tools that last.
