Presented by KNIPEX and Zoro Staff
As a small business owner, you fully understand that time is, in fact, money and that your employees' productivity matters.
Now, no magic wand instantly increases output; however, you can equip your workers with higher-quality tools in their tool kit to make tasks faster and the job more efficient as a whole.
Better tools can equate to increased worker efficiency and morale, higher-quality work, and result in a more elevated end product or service that can ultimately position your business as a leader in the space.
Here are the top 5 products from KNIPEX Tools that you should invest in as a small business owner.
1. Pliers Wrench
A go-to tool for plumbers and construction workers, the KNIPEX Pliers Wrench's versatility is unlike any other pliers or adjustable wrench, making it one of the best hand tools on the market. Your employees will appreciate its time-saving push-button adjustment that allows this hand tool to replace a whole open-ended set of wrenches (cue a lighter tool bag!).
In addition, its smooth parallel jaws take the concern out of accidentally damaging surfaces, and with sizes available from 4" to 16" in length and capacities from 7/8" to 3-3/8", this is a must-have tool for you and your workers.
2. Pipe Gripping Pliers
Ideal for repetitive work, the KNIPEX Pipe and Connector Pliers requires less effort and saves time due to its push-button adjustment and self-locking action. This hand tool makes gripping round pipes and connectors (up to 3" in diameter) easy without damaging components. It equips your workers with a powerful tool perfect for tightening and loosening siphon screw connections, plastic pipe fittings, and union nuts.
3. TubiX Pipe Cutter
No matter what business you're in, cutting copper, brass, and steel pipes can be tedious and often inexact—until recently. The KNIPEX TubiX® Pipe Cutter equips your workers with QuickLock single-handed quick adjustment: using just one hand, the tool can be positioned perfectly on the pipe to begin work. This must-have hand tool makes cutting pipe easier and gives peace of mind with a high-quality cutting wheel and deburring tool to finish the cut neatly.
4. Swedish Pipe Wrench
Working smarter, not harder, is the right attitude, and with the KNIPEX Rapid-Adjust Swedish Pipe Wrench, your employees will work smarter due to the self-locking action and no unintentional shifting of these pliers. This durable, forceful hand tool also offers time savings with its precise adjustment of the opening width so that even larger-scale projects are tackled efficiently.
5. PVC and Flexible Hose Cutter
When using conventional hose-cutting hand tools, distortions can occur due to two straight cutting edges, often requiring deburring. Suited for materials up to 1", the KNIPEX PlastiCut® effortlessly follows the shape of the PVC or hose, cutting with its trapezoidal-shaped blade. This light-to-carry yet impactful hand tool benefits your employees because it requires less effort and force, and no deburring is necessary.
Equipping your workers with these 5 hand tools will uplevel their toolkit and make tasks—no matter what the job is—easier. Their versatility and high-quality craftsmanship will create more efficiency, allowing your employees to perform at a higher level, and ultimately make your customers happier. Don’t miss out on these must-have hand tools!
