12-inch push-button water pump plier

The Knipex 87 01 300 SBA is a 12 in tongue and groove plier built from chrome vanadium steel with a polished finish. Its push-button adjustment offers 30 precise jaw positions up to a maximum opening of 2 3/4 in. The V-shaped jaws feature serrated gripping surfaces hardened to approximately 61 HRC for secure holds on pipes and fittings. A box-joint design with a double guide ensures stability during heavy use.

Low-effort adjustment and pinch protection

The push-button mechanism allows fast, one-handed setting changes without removing the tool from the workpiece. Fine adjustment steps let the jaws match the workpiece closely, reducing slippage and the force needed to maintain grip. An integrated pinch guard prevents the handles from closing on fingers during repositioning. The self-locking action on the workpiece minimises hand fatigue during repetitive clamping tasks.

Fits professional and maintenance toolkits

The 12 in overall length provides leverage for larger fasteners while remaining manageable in tight service bays. Standard cushion grips offer comfort without adding bulk that would limit access in confined spaces. The tool requires no external power, calibration or consumables, making it immediately ready for plumbing, HVAC and automotive work. Buyers needing insulated handles for live electrical work or a tether point for height safety should select a different model.

Questions about this item

How do you set the jaw width using the push-button adjustment on the Knipex 87 01 300 SBA?

Press the button, slide the lower jaw to one of the 30 positions until it clicks, then release the button to lock it; the box-joint design keeps the jaws aligned during the move.

What wear should I expect on the gripping surfaces hardened to approximately 61 HRC?

The induction-hardened teeth resist rounding under normal use; inspect them periodically and replace the plier if the serrations no longer grip pipes or nuts securely.

At what point does the 2 3/4 in maximum jaw opening limit the work I can do?

The plier cannot grip objects larger than 2 3/4 in diameter, so larger pipes or fittings will require a bigger tool.
