Pliers Knipex KP-8801250 Handle colour Red Length 250 mm Weight 319 g

The Knipex KP-8801250 pliers (250 mm, red handle) deliver increased gripping capacity and comfortable handling compared with conventional water pump pliers of the same length. Their slim head and joint provide improved access to the workpiece, while the robust, dirt-insensitive construction and box-joint design ensure high stability and suitability for outdoor work.

Advantages

Nine-notch adjustment provides about 30% more gripping capacity and precise positioning. The pliers lock automatically on pipes and nuts, preventing slipping and reducing the handforce required. Gripping surfaces have special hardened teeth (approx. 61 HRC) for low wear and stable grip. A finger guard reduces the risk of pinching. Made of chrome vanadium electric steel, forged and oil-hardened for durability.

Suitable for

• Gripping and turning pipes and fittings
• Holding and tightening nuts and fasteners
• Outdoor and construction tasks in dirty environments
• Maintenance and plumbing work requiring good access in tight spaces

How to use

Select the appropriate notch to fit the workpiece, position the jaws on the pipe or nut, and allow the self-locking feature to engage. Apply steady hand pressure to turn or hold the component; the hardened teeth provide secure grip. Use the slim head to reach confined areas and the box-joint stability to apply torque safely. Clean off heavy dirt before storage to maintain function.

Usage recommendations

For longest service life, avoid using the pliers as a hammer or for cutting hardened materials. Regularly remove dirt and lightly oil the joint after exposure to moisture or outdoor conditions.
