Tool identity and intended user
The Knipex 88 02 250 SBA is a 10 in water pump plier built from chrome vanadium steel with a polished head and black atramentized finish. It suits mechanics, plumbers and maintenance technicians who need a reliable adjustable groove joint for gripping, bending and cutting wire or metal parts in varied conditions.
Capacity and headroom
The jaws open to 1 1/8 in and the adjustable groove joint provides smooth operation across that range, letting the plier handle common pipe, fastener and wire sizes encountered in service work. Very large diameter pipe or heavy structural sections fall outside the jaw capacity and will require a larger tool.
Thermals noise and power draw
As a hand tool it produces no heat, draws no power and generates only the sound of metal contact during use. The atramentized finish resists corrosion in wet environments while the polished head reduces friction for comfortable, controlled operation over long periods.

Questions about this item
Will the 10 in length fit in the same tool tray as my older 8 in pliers?
The 10 in overall length is longer than 8 in models, so measure your tray depth before assuming it will fit alongside them.
How can I verify the adjustable groove joint is operating smoothly after first use?
Open and close the joint through all positions; it should move without sticking and the V-jaw teeth must engage the workpiece without slipping.
Does the box include any spare jaws or a storage pouch, or must I buy those separately?
The pliers are supplied as a single 10 in chrome vanadium steel tool with polished head and black atramentized finish; no spare jaws or pouch are included.
