Description
Overview:
The Knipex Universal Grip Pliers 250 mm (10 in), model 41 04 250 SB, are robust locking pliers built for maintenance, repair, and fabrication work. The frame is made from high‐strength spring steel, while the jaws are drop‐forged chrome vanadium steel for a firm, reliable bite on demanding jobs. An elbow‐lever mechanism multiplies hand force for strong, consistent clamping, and an adjustment screw sets jaw opening and pressure. A built‐in wire cutter adds versatility for cutting wire on site or in the workshop. The nickel‐plated head and handles resist corrosion in tough environments. Optimised for round workpieces, they also hold flats and irregular shapes securely. Suitable for tradespeople and DIY users working on construction equipment, plant and garden machinery where a stable, one‐handed lock is needed.
Key Features:
- 250 mm (10 in) overall length for access and leverage
- High‐strength spring‐steel frame resists flex under load
- Drop‐forged chrome vanadium steel jaws for durability and wear resistance
- Elbow‐lever action delivers high clamping force with modest hand effort
- Adjustment screw sets clamping pressure and jaw opening for repeatability
- One‐handed release lever for quick, controlled unlocking
- Integrated wire cutter for trimming wire without changing tools
- Nickel‐plated surfaces for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
- Secure grip on round workpieces; suitable for pipes, bar and fittings
- Reliable locking mechanism maintains hold during handling and light fabrication
Typical Applications:
Everyday repair and maintenance on construction plant and garden machinery. Clamping pipe, bar, nuts, bolts and fittings. Holding work steady for drilling, grinding, soldering or light welding. Freeing seized or rounded fasteners by locking onto damaged heads. Temporary clamping during gluing and fabrication tasks. Gripping and cutting fencing wire or light cable ties. Useful across plumbing, automotive, metal fabrication and site work.
Also known as:
Often called mole grips, vice grips, self‐grip pliers, locking wrench, adjustable locking grips, curved‐jaw grips, or gripping clamps. These terms refer to the same self‐locking plier design used to clamp and hold parts securely until released.
