Knipex TwinGrip Pliers Provide a Unique Grip on Stripped Screws and Bolts
Back in 2021, the Knipex TwinGrip Pliers were released as the industry’s first 5-adjustment push-button slip joint pliers. Their unique design lets you access small, confined spaces, promising plenty of gripping strength from virtually any angle. Now, the TwinGrip lineup is growing with the addition of a 6-inch pair and a 10-inch pair, giving you more accessibility for a variety of applications.

Knipex TwinGrip Pliers: Overview
Knipex TwinGrip Pliers have a unique head design that enables a combination of front and side grips. At the tip of the head, Knipex has designed the jaws in such a way that you can lock the pliers onto stripped and rusted-out screws. Knipex tells us that they offer up to 30% stronger gripping capacity compared to standard wrenches.
Both the front and side jaws feature opposing teeth, which give an advantage when working with a variety of materials and shapes. This tooth layout lends maximum gripping force for round, square, and hex materials. There’s even a three-point contact system that provides reliable gripping capabilities for flat workpieces.
One of the more innovative features of the TwinGrip pliers is their multi-position push-button slip joint. This was new to the industry when these tools first came to market, and Knipex carried over the concept with the two new size additions. This joint lets you adjust the jaw capacity to ensure a secure grip on your workpiece, no matter the size.
