When tools are used day in, day out, wear is inevitable. But replacing an entire tool every time a part fails isn’t always necessary.
KNIPEX has a wide range of spare parts available, giving plumbers the option to extend the life of their tools rather than replace them altogether.
The KNIPEX Cobra® High-Tech Water Pump Pliers are a staple in plumbing kits, featuring a firm grip and precise adjustment. The push-button mechanism allows for fine adjustment directly on the workpiece.
With regular use, components such as the push button can wear over time. Rather than replacing the whole tool, a spare part means the push button can be swapped out in just a few steps using basic tools, getting the pliers back up and running.
The same thinking applies to the KNIPEX DP50 Pipe Cutter for plastic drainpipes, designed to cut and chamfer in a single operation. At the centre of the tool is a high-quality blade made from ball-bearing steel. Over time wear will occur but the DP50’s reversible blade with two cutting edges is also replaceable. When one side shows signs of wear, it can simply be turned or replaced entirely without any tools, making it quick and convenient on site.
