10 in V-Jaw Tongue and Groove Plier
The Knipex 88 08 250 US is a 10 in tongue and groove plier built for professionals who need strong grip on pipes, fittings and fasteners. Its V-shaped serrated jaws and nine adjustment positions handle round and flat workpieces up to 2 in wide. The 1,000 V insulated, deluxe cushion grips protect the user during electrical tasks.
Box-Joint Design with Hardened Teeth
The box-joint construction and double guide keep the jaws aligned under heavy load, while teeth hardened to 61 HRC resist wear on tough materials. A pinch guard prevents finger injuries during rapid adjustments. The tool is not non-sparking and has no tether point, so it is unsuitable for explosive atmospheres or mandatory drop-prevention programmes.
1,000 V Insulated Rating
The 1,000 V insulation rating is the single specification that decides whether this plier meets the safety standard for live electrical work up to that voltage. Buyers who require a higher voltage rating or certified non-sparking tools for hazardous locations cannot use this model.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 10 in overall length or a different size for general plumbing and electrical work?
The 10 in overall length provides a 2 in maximum jaw opening with 9 adjustment positions, covering a wide range of pipe and fitting sizes while remaining manageable in tight spaces.
What does the 1 000 V insulated rating mean when I am working on live electrical panels?
The pliers are tested to 1 000 V and meet insulated tool standards, allowing safer work on energised circuits up to that voltage when used with appropriate protective equipment.
How does the box-joint design with hardened teeth to 61 HRC affect grip on round and flat stock?
The box-joint and high-stability double guide keep jaws aligned under load, while 61 HRC hardened teeth and the V-jaw shape grip round pipes and flat surfaces securely without slipping.
