Water pump pliers 88 06 250

for pipessteelinsulated

Good access to the workpiece due to slim size of head and joint area More output and comfort compared to conventional water pump pliers of the same length: 9-notch adjustment positioning for 30 % more gripping capacity Self-locking on pipes and nuts: no slipping on the workpiece and low handforce required Gripping surfaces with special hardened teeth, teeth hardness approx. 61 HRC: high wear resistance and stable gripping Box-joint design for high stability due to double guide Robust construction, insensitive to dirt; particularly suitable for outdoor work Pinch guard prevents operators' fingers being pinched After gripping into the work piece, the Knipex Alligator holds onto pipes and nuts under load by itself. This self-locking effect is possible thanks to the special jaw geometry developed by Knipex. The user does not need to press the handles together, but can convert all energy directly into torque. This feature pays off in particular when loosening bolted connections that have become stuck. Compact design – big gripping capacity As compact as these pliers are, the possible grip widths are surprisingly large due to the 9-step locking adjustment: round parts up to 50 mm (2 inches) and nuts up to 46 mm, which is 30 % more than with standard water pump pliers of the same size. With the non-slip multi-component grips that insulate up to 1000 volts, the Knipex Alligator 88 06 250 is ideal for electricians working on electrical installations and – with the right training – even for work on live parts.
