Pliers Knipex KP-8801250 Red Handle 250 mm 319 g

The Knipex KP-8801250 pliers are 250 mm long, weigh 319 g and feature a red handle for a secure grip. Designed as water pump pliers with an improved head and joint profile, they provide increased gripping capacity and precise handling for pipe and nut work.

Advantages

Compared with conventional water pump pliers of the same length, these pliers offer nine-notch adjustment positioning that provides approximately 30% greater gripping capacity. The slim head and joint area improve access to the workpiece. The pliers are self-locking on pipes and nuts, which prevents slipping and reduces the hand force required. Gripping surfaces have specially hardened teeth (approx. 61 HRC) for low wear and stable hold. The box-joint design with double guide increases stability, and the robust, dirt-resistant construction makes the tool particularly suitable for outdoor work. A guard protects the operator’s fingers.

Suitable for

• Gripping and turning pipes
• Tightening and loosening nuts and fittings

• Outdoor repair and construction work

How to use

Select the appropriate notch to fit the pipe or nut size, position the slim head close to the workpiece for best access, and close the handles until the self-locking action engages.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long-lasting performance, keep the pliers clean and lightly lubricated at the joint, avoid using the tool as a hammer or lever beyond its intended purpose, and inspect teeth and joint regularly for wear or damage.
