Alligator water pump pliers 180 mm with 9-position ratchet adjustment, blister card - Knipex 88 01 180 SB

The Alligator water pump pliers lock themselves onto pipes and nuts instead of merely enclosing them. That saves hand force and stops the tool from slipping off the workpiece. At a length of 180 mm the nine-position ratchet adjustment delivers about 30 % more gripping capacity than a conventional water pump plier of the same size.

Benefits

• Self-locking on pipes and nuts, no slipping on the workpiece and less effort at the handles.
• Gripping surfaces with specially hardened teeth of about 61 HRC, so high wear resistance keeps the grip secure over years of use.
• Nine-position ratchet adjustment with roughly 30 % more gripping capacity than conventional water pump pliers of the same length.
• Slim design in the head and joint area for good access to the workpiece, even in tight shafts.
• Box joint with double guidance for high stability under load.
• Rugged construction that is insensitive to dirt, plus a pinch guard that prevents crushing injuries.
