Professional Water Pump Pliers for Pipe Joints

The Knipex 88 01 300 SBA water pump pliers are built for tightening or loosening pipe joints in professional and DIY settings. Chrome vanadium steel construction handles both dry and wet joints without deformation. The 12 in overall length provides leverage for stubborn fittings. They are not suited for precision electronics work or cramped spaces where a smaller tool is required.

Simple Adjustment With Self-Grip Action

The adjustable groove joint lets you set the jaw width up to 2 3/4 in with one hand, and the V-jaw profile locks onto round or flat surfaces without slipping. Plastic-coated handles reduce hand fatigue during extended use. The polished, atramentized finish resists corrosion but can become slippery when coated in oil or grease.

12 Inch Length With 2 3/4 Inch Maximum Jaw Opening

This single measurement decides whether the plier fits the pipes and fasteners in your project. The 12 in reach and 2 3/4 in capacity cover most residential plumbing and automotive hose connections. If your application demands a wider spread or a more compact tool, this model will not match the requirement.
