KNIPEX 85 51 250AFSBA 10-inch Hose Clamp Pliers with Locking Device

Meet the KNIPEX 85 51 250AFSBA 10-inch Hose Clamp Pliers with Locking Device, a tool designed to simplify hose clamp work in both open bays and tight spaces. The locking version keeps the clamp open and held in position, reducing the need to continuously grip the pliers while you reposition the part.

Smart design for precise control

Rotating jaw inserts let you grip hose clamps from multiple angles, enabling secure engagement whether you approach from the side or from above. The built in locking device holds the clamp open at the chosen position, so you can move the clamp into place without maintaining constant pressure.

• Rotating jaw inserts grip clamps in any position
• Locking device holds clamp open for hands-free work
• 19 adjustable positions adapt to different clamp sizes
• Slim head and joint area reach into confined spaces
• German chrome vanadium steel forged and oil hardened for durability

The working capacity reaches 2-3/4 inches, making it suitable for a variety of common hose clamp sizes during automotive, appliance, and home maintenance tasks. The tool’s slim profile helps you navigate between hoses and components, while the carded packaging keeps the set organized on a peg board or in a tool pouch.

Real world use cases and expected benefits

• Automotive hose clamp work in engine bays and tight corridors
• Appliance and home maintenance where space is limited
• HVAC and plumbing fixes involving small clamps in confined areas
• General repairs that benefit from a stable, open clamp during repositioning

Durability and build quality are evident in the tool’s German manufacture and chrome vanadium steel construction, ready to handle repeated use and occasional torque without compromising performance. Carded packaging helps with easy display and stocking in workshops.
