The Knipex 88 01 400 Alligator® Water Pump Pliers are heavy-duty professional pliers designed for powerful gripping and adjustment of large pipes, nuts and fittings. Engineered for demanding plumbing, installation and industrial applications, these extra-long pliers deliver outstanding leverage, durability and secure gripping performance.
Built with a strong box joint design, these pliers provide exceptional stability and prevent slipping from the workpiece during operation. The gripping surfaces feature specially hardened teeth with a hardness of approximately 61 HRC, ensuring excellent wear resistance and reliable grip on even the toughest materials.
Manufactured from chrome vanadium electric steel that has been oil-hardened, the Alligator® pliers offer outstanding strength and long service life in tough working environments. Compared with conventional water pump pliers of the same length, they deliver greater output and comfort, allowing professionals to work more efficiently.
The 9-notch adjustment mechanism enables quick positioning and provides up to 30% more gripping capacity, making it easy to adapt the pliers to a wide range of workpiece sizes. The slim head and joint area also allow improved access to difficult or confined spaces.
These pliers feature a self-locking design on pipes and nuts, ensuring a firm grip without slipping while requiring minimal hand force. Their robust construction is resistant to dirt and debris, making them particularly suitable for outdoor work and harsh job site conditions.
For improved safety and comfort, the pliers are fitted with plastic coated handles for secure handling, while the integrated finger guard helps prevent pinched fingers during use. With its extra-long 400mm design, this tool delivers powerful leverage for handling larger pipes and fittings with ease.
