Knipex 87 41 250 SBA Plier

The Knipex 87 41 250 SBA is a ten inch tongue and groove plier built for tradespeople who need reliable gripping force on pipes, nuts and flat stock. Its push button adjustment offers fifteen distinct jaw positions so the tool fits the workpiece quickly without trial and error. Chrome vanadium electric steel construction and an atramentized phosphate finish resist wear and corrosion in daily workshop use.

Push Button Adjustment Limits

The fifteen position ratchet mechanism advances in fixed steps rather than infinitely, so very small increments between sizes are not possible. Maximum jaw opening reaches one and a quarter inches, which caps the diameter of round material that can be gripped securely. Smooth flat jaws provide even pressure but will not bite into hardened or extremely smooth surfaces as aggressively as serrated designs.

Upgrading From Slip Joint Pliers

Users moving up from basic slip joint pliers gain the self gripping box joint, pinch guard and zero backlash features that prevent jaw slippage under load. The one handed push button operation eliminates the two handed readjustment common with older groove joint models. Builders who need insulated handles, tether points or non sparking certification will not find those safety features on this model.

Questions about this item

Which adjustment mechanism and jaw-position count should I choose for this plier?

This model uses a push-button mechanism with 15 positions, allowing quick one-handed changes across the full range.

What does the 10 in overall length mean for reach and leverage in a real job?

The 10 in length gives extended reach into tight spaces while providing strong leverage for gripping and turning.

What does the box joint design cap in terms of jaw stability and alignment?

The box joint keeps the jaws precisely aligned with zero backlash, so they stay parallel under load without wobble.
