Knipex Twin Grip New Sizes: A Compact 100mm and a Full-Size 250mm Join the Line

Introduction

Knipex has expanded the Twin Grip line with two new sizes, answering one of the most common requests since the original 200mm version launched: a smaller option for pocket carry and a larger one for heavy work. The new additions are a 100mm model and a 250mm model, and together they bookend the family in a way that covers very different use cases.

If you already own the standard 200mm Twin Grip, the new sizes are not replacements. They extend the concept to two extremes: one small enough to disappear into an everyday carry kit, and one large enough to sit alongside full-size tongue and groove pliers. Here is what each brings to the table.

The New Small Twin Grip: 100mm for EDC

The 100mm Twin Grip is the standout for anyone who carries tools daily. It has three positions of slip joint adjustment and a fine jaw range suited to small fasteners and delicate grip work. In hand, it is genuinely tiny, which is exactly the point.

This size fills a gap that fans of 150mm-class pliers will recognize: it is compact, but the head is still substantial enough to do real work rather than just qualify as a backup. It also complements small multi-tools well, giving you a dedicated plier with better leverage and a more comfortable handle than most folding tools can offer.

How the New Sizes Fit the Lineup

To put the range in perspective, the original 200mm Twin Grip sits in the middle. The new 100mm is noticeably smaller, while the new 250mm steps up to full-size territory. Set side by side with other pliers, the 100mm is slightly longer than compact 130mm-class slip joint pliers, and the 250mm is close in scale to large professional-grade tongue and groove pliers.

The practical takeaway is that the family now spans pocket-sized to jobsite-sized with a consistent slip joint mechanism throughout, so the handling feel stays familiar no matter which size you pick up.

What the 250mm Brings to the Table

The 250mm Twin Grip looks like a full-size Cobra in a slip joint profile, with a notably large head and the reach to match. It is aimed at work where the standard 200mm runs out of capacity: bigger fasteners, wider grip openings, and tasks that benefit from more overall length and leverage.

Compared directly with large professional slip joint pliers from other brands, the 250mm holds its own on size, and the Twin Grip jaw design gives it a distinct grip character. For anyone who found the 200mm slightly limited for heavy work, this is the version that closes that gap.

Tool Roll Options and Availability

Knipex is offering the new sizes in a couple of configurations. You can get all three sizes, the 100mm, 200mm, and 250mm, together in a tool roll, or you can buy a two-piece roll with just the large and small models. That second option makes sense for people who already own the standard 200mm and only need the new extremes.

All three sizes are also available individually. At launch, stock appears limited and pricing information is not yet widely listed, so it may take some searching before the new sizes show up reliably at retailers.

Buying Advice: Which Size Makes Sense for You

If your tool loadout revolves around everyday carry or small multi-tool companionship, the 100mm is the clear pick. It is the size most people have been asking for, and it offers real plier capability in a genuinely pocketable form.

If your work involves larger fasteners and you want maximum capacity from the Twin Grip design, the 250mm is the one to look at. It brings full-size plier capability into the slip joint family.

If you already own and love the 200mm, the two-piece tool roll with just the small and large models is likely the most economical way to complete the set. And if you are starting fresh, the three-piece roll covers the entire range in one purchase.

Conclusion

The new Twin Grip sizes round out the line in a meaningful way: a compact 100mm for pocket carry and a 250mm for full-size work, alongside the established 200mm. With flexible tool roll bundles and individual availability, it is now easy to build exactly the set that matches how you actually work.
