Knipex Quality - Made in Germany

Alligator Water Pump Pliers.


Grips any shaped object

Knipex 88 01 250 Alligator Water Pump Pliers, 10-inch

At a Glance:

  • Self-locking on pipes - no slipping on the workpiece and low handforce required
  • Thin head design is perfect for working in confined or hard-to-reach areas
  • Serrated gripping surface with special hardened teeth
  • Grips any shaped object - round, square, hex, or flat
  • Box joint design provides directional stability

Knipex 88 01 250, 10-inch Alligator Water Pump Pliers

Providing more output and comfort compared to conventional water pump pliers of the same length, the Knipex Alligator water pump pliers offers nine adjustment positions for 30 percent more gripping capacity and good access to the workpiece due to the slim size in its head and joint areas. It's so versatile, it can be used in any industry — automotive, electrical, HVACR, industrial, and even for DIY.

A serrated gripping surface on the jaws allows for gripping any shaped object — round, square, hex, or flat. Plus, the tool's teeth are induction hardened for wear resistance and a longer life. A box joint provides directional stability when working in any environment. This dual channel design offers the operator increased confidence that the tool will not bend or break under heavy duty working conditions. A fine adjustment enables you to find the perfect setting for different sized workpieces.

By adjusting the handles to get the appropriate width, you can lock the jaws into place to avoid slipping off the workpiece. Once locked into position, you won't have to squeeze the handles to get a greater grip. Only downward pressure on the top handle is needed to firmly hold the object.

The Alligator also has a forged on pinch guard that prevents the operator's fingers and hands from being pinched. Because the guard is forged at the same time that the tool is made, it will last as long as the tool itself.


Round, square, hex, or flat

Specifications:
  • Jaw capacity: Up to 2-inch for round and 1 3/4-inch for hex
  • Adjustment positions: 9
  • Length: 10 inches
  • Weight: 11.3 ounces
  • Handles: Plastic coating

Quality in Every Detail

Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look.

The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.

Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.

Customers like the adjustability of the pliers. For example, they say it's the best adjustable plier, it can do small and large adjustments, and it can be adjusted with one hand.

Customers are satisfied with the sharpness of the pliers. They mention that the knipex are way better, the teeth are sharp and made at a perfect angle, and they stay sharp for years. The plier has a great bite and seems to bite down harder than other pliERS of this type. The nibbs are amazing for biting a hold of your material, and the jaws are aggressive and hold material securely in place.

"...prefer them over my kleins because they have a slimmer head and better teeth contact." Read more

"The pliers bite great on all materials but I’m not sure how I like the locking mechanism seems a little too sensitive to hop out of its size." Read more

4 Stars
Handle was damaged when I received it.
Delivery was odd. I bought two of these at the same time. Only one showed up. About three weeks after that this one shows up with a messed up handle. I'm probably sending it back and getting a new one. Great pliers though.
