Description
Between pipe and wall there is often hardly room for a finger. The chrome-plated Alligator 88 03 180 is only 12 mm thick and 37 mm wide, yet it still grips pipes up to Ø 42 mm and nuts up to 36 mm across flats.
Benefits
- Slim size of head and joint area, giving good access to the workpiece even in recesses and ducts.
- Nine notched steps provide around 30 % more gripping capacity than conventional water pump pliers of the same length.
- Self-clamping on pipes and nuts, no slipping on the workpiece and effortless working.
- Gripping surfaces with special hardened teeth of approx. 61 HRC, for a lasting secure grip at high wear resistance.
- Box-joint design with double guide for high stability despite the low build height.
- Pinch guard prevents crushing injuries, the handles are coated with non-slip plastic.
Areas of use
Plumbing service, heating maintenance, vehicle and appliance repair as well as fine assembly. The chrome-plated surface wipes clean easily, which helps during indoor work and on visible fittings.
