180 mm V-Jaw Water Pump Plier
The Knipex 87 01 180 SBA is a hand tool designed for gripping bolts, nuts and pipes. Its V-shaped serrated jaws and push-button adjustment mechanism suit maintenance and repair tasks where quick size changes are needed. The polished chrome vanadium steel body provides durability for professional and DIY use.
Push-button adjustment with 18 positions
A push-button mechanism allows the user to select from 18 jaw positions without removing the plier from the workpiece. The jaws open to a maximum of 1 1/2 in and feature hardened gripping teeth at approximately 61 HRC. The self-locking action on pipes and nuts reduces slipping during high-torque applications.
Suits technicians needing fast, one-hand adjustment
This plier fits users who value rapid, one-hand jaw changes and a secure grip on round or hex profiles. The standard cushion plastic grips are not insulated, so electricians requiring VDE-rated tools should look elsewhere. Buyers needing tether-ready attachment points or non-sparking materials for hazardous environments will also need a different model.
