This fine adjustment also makes sure that the distance to the handles remains hand-friendly for every grip width. Screws are tightened and released according to the ratchet principle. The Knipex multiple slip joint spanner clamps onto the component securely by itself as from a wrench opening of 17 mm thanks to the jaw geometry developed by Knipex. This means the user can put all energy into the desired movement without pressing the pliers handle together and thus without energy loss: in the case of the multiple slip joint spanner , especially into the releasing and tightening of bolted connections.
