Knipex Alligator Water Pump Pliers are energy-saving, tough and slim giving good access to workpiece in tight spaces
The Knipex 8806250SB (carded) Alligator Water Pump Pliers are suitable for work on live parts up to 1000V with a compact design and a big gripping capacity. 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. As compact as these pliers are, the possible grip widths are surprisingly large due to the 9-step locking adjustment: round parts up to 50mm (2 inches) and nuts up to 46mm, which is 30% more than with standard water pump pliers of the same size. With the non-slip multi-component grips that insulate up to1000 volts, the Alligator is ideal for electricians working on electrical installations and – with the right training – even for work on live parts. The Knipex Alligator with its box joint design and double guide offers very high stability for professional use. The teeth on the gripping surfaces have been induction hardened to approx. 61 HRC. This guarantees a very long tool life with an ever “biting” hold on the component. The Knipex Alligator is sturdily built, easy to clean and thus an ideal tool for working outdoors. In the 88 06 250 version, the Knipex Alligator is chrome-plated.
