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, known for their firm grip and precise adjustment. The push-button mechanism allows for fine adjustment directly on the workpiece while the self-clamping design ensures a secure hold on pipes and fittings without slipping.
With regular use, components such as the push button can wear over time. Rather than replacing the whole tool, KNIPEX offers a simple solution. A spare part assortment (87 09 xxx) means the push button can be swapped out in just a few steps using basic tools, getting the pliers back up and running in minutes. It’s a straightforward process that keeps downtime to a minimum and extends the working life of a trusted tool.
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, as with any cutting tool, wear will occur but the DP50’s reversible blade (90 23 01 E01) 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.
Having spare parts readily available makes it easier to keep tools in use without replacing them. It’s a simple way to keep trusted kit working properly with less disruption on the job.
