KNIPEX TwinGrip Slip Joint Pliers 150mm

The KNIPEX TwinGrip 150mm is a highly specialized, compact solution for one of the most frustrating tasks on the job site: removing stripped, rusted, or damaged fasteners. This tool features a unique two-zone jaw design that combines a high-grip front nose with a traditional side-gripping area. Engineered for surgical precision in tight spaces, the TwinGrip allows for the frontal gripping of screws and bolts where standard pliers simply cannot fit. Whether you are dealing with a rounded bolt head in a deep engine bay or a weathered screw on a piece of agricultural equipment, the TwinGrip provides the aggressive “bite” necessary for extraction.

Technically, the TwinGrip is defined by its optimized tooth geometry. The induction-hardened teeth (approx. 61 HRC) are arranged in opposing directions, creating a secure 3-point system that locks onto flat workpieces and fasteners from 3mm to 16mm. Unlike standard slip-joint pliers, the TwinGrip utilizes a robust box-joint design for superior structural stability and a 5-way push-button adjustment for precise alteration of gripping capacity. This ensures that the jaws remain aligned under heavy torque, preventing the tool from slipping or shunting while you apply force.

Forged from high-quality chrome vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened, this 150mm tool is remarkably slim yet incredibly durable. Its compact 6-inch frame makes it a favorite for everyday carry (EDC) among maintenance professionals, providing industrial-grade power in a pocket-sized footprint. Complete with a pinch guard to protect the user’s fingers and a slim turning zone for fast screwing, the TwinGrip is an essential evolution in gripping technology for the modern South African workshop.
