Dependable grip with the Knipex pliers
- Self locking on workpieces: The jaw geometry prevents slipping on pipes and nuts, so you require minimal hand force during use.
- Slim profile for tight spots: A compact head combined with the box-joint design lets you easily reach components in confined workspaces.
- Induction hardened gripping teeth: Specially hardened teeth provide exceptional wear resistance, ensuring you always maintain a solid bite on fasteners.
With the Knipex 88 01 180 Alligator water pump pliers, you can work quickly and securely on pipes and nuts. Thanks to the specialised jaw geometry, this compact 180 mm tool is fully self-locking on the workpiece, reducing hand strain while preventing slipping. Featuring 9 adjustment positions, the box-joint mechanism allows precise fitting for pipe diameters up to 1 1/2 inches and nuts up to 36 mm across flats. Its slim head profile ensures effortless access in confined spaces, while induction-hardened teeth and a black atramentized finish deliver long-term durability. Non-slip plastic-coated handles and an integrated pinch guard provide safe, confident handling on every job.
