Alligator water pump pliers chrome-plated with comfort handles, 180 mm - Knipex 88 05 180

Short water pump pliers often fail on diameter. Despite its 180 mm length the chrome-plated Alligator 88 05 180 grips pipes up to Ø 42 mm and nuts up to 36 mm across flats, because the nine-notch adjustment releases around 30 % more gripping capacity than conventional pliers of this size.

Benefits

• Comfort handles made of three ergonomic components for optimised handling, with two KNIPEXtend interfaces for extensions.
• Good access to the workpiece thanks to the slim size of head and joint area.
• 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.
• Robust construction, insensitive to dirt, plus a pinch guard against crushing injuries.

Areas of use

Plumbing service, heating maintenance, kitchen and bathroom fitting as well as work from the service van. At 210 g and 180 mm the pliers are the choice for the belt pouch when space is short and decent gripping range is still needed.

Standards and conformity

The pliers are built to DIN ISO 8976. According to the manufacturer they contain no substances of very high concern under REACH, the RoHS directive does not apply.
