Waterpump Pliers NWS Maxi 1660-12-250 250 mm — adjustable gripping tool

Adjustable waterpump pliers NWS Maxi 1660-12-250 are 250 mm long gripping pliers engineered for secure handling of pipes, fittings and fasteners. The tool provides stepped jaw adjustment to accommodate a range of diameters and long handles to improve leverage during tightening or loosening operations. Built from durable materials with a corrosion-resistant finish, these pliers are suitable for repeated use in plumbing, automotive maintenance and general repair tasks.

Advantages

These waterpump pliers combine adjustable jaw spacing and a robust construction to deliver reliable grip on round and flat surfaces. The long handles increase mechanical advantage, reducing hand fatigue when applying torque. The stepped adjustment mechanism allows quick changes between gripping positions, while the design ensures stable contact with workpieces to minimize slippage and damage.

Suitable for

• Gripping and turning pipes and fittings in plumbing work
• Holding, clamping and turning nuts, bolts and fasteners in automotive repairs
• General workshop tasks that require adjustable, high-leverage pliers
• DIY home maintenance where a versatile gripping tool is needed

Key specifications

• Overall length: 250 mm
• Adjustable stepped jaw for multiple diameter settings
• Long handles for enhanced leverage
• Material: hardened steel construction with corrosion-resistant surface
• Grip type: serrated jaws for secure contact with round and flat workpieces

How to use

Open the pliers and select the appropriate jaw position by sliding the movable jaw into the desired step to match the diameter of the target object. Position the serrated jaws around the pipe, fitting or fastener so contact is firm and centered, then squeeze the handles to apply torque. For loosening, maintain a steady pull or push motion while ensuring the jaws remain engaged. After use, release the handles, move the jaw to the closed position for storage, and wipe the tool clean to remove debris or residues.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers within their intended mechanical limits: avoid applying excessive force beyond what is necessary and do not use the tool as a hammer or pry bar. For corroded or very hard fasteners, consider applying penetrating lubricant first and use appropriate safety gear such as gloves and eye protection.
