KNIPEX 00 20 07 US1 Alligator Pliers Set (7, 10, & 12)

The Knipex Alligator water pump pliers are a versatile and robust set that make an excellent starter kit for a wide range of applications. This popular pliers set includes three of the most commonly used sizes - 7-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch models (product code 00 20 07 US1).

Providing enhanced output and comfort compared to traditional water pump pliers of the same length, the Knipex Alligator offers nine adjustment positions, granting 30% more gripping capacity. The slim profile of the head and joint areas ensures good access to the workpiece, making these pliers suitable for use across numerous industries, from automotive and electrical to HVAC and DIY.

The serrated jaws allow a secure grip on a variety of shaped objects, including round, square, hex, and flat surfaces. The teeth are induction hardened, improving wear resistance and extending the tool's lifespan. The box joint design offers exceptional directional stability, instilling confidence that the pliers will not bend or break under heavy-duty use.

Fine adjustment capabilities enable users to find the perfect setting for different sized workpieces. The handles can be adjusted to the appropriate width and then locked in place, eliminating the need for continual handle squeezing to maintain grip. Only downward pressure on the top handle is required to firmly secure the object. Additionally, the forged-on pinch guard protects the operator's fingers and hands from being pinched during use.

Knipex's commitment to quality is evident in the manufacturing process. The carefully selected steel, with a maximum of 0.8% carbon content and defined amounts of chromium and vanadium, is precisely hardened to deliver optimal cutting performance and service life, despite the increased production costs. The rivet of the high-leverage diagonal cutter is also forged directly onto the pliers, ensuring it can withstand significant stress.

Headquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, Knipex is a family-owned business that has been specializing in the production of high-quality pliers since 1882. The company's focus on performance, service life, and ergonomics has made it the world's leading brand in the pliers category, meeting the demanding expectations of professional users.

Key features of the Knipex Alligator water pump pliers set include self-locking on pipes and nuts without slipping on the workpiece, an optimized jaw shape for gripping round, square, and hex materials, a stable box joint design, and a handle guard to prevent finger pinching. This 3-piece set can handle pipe capacities from 1-1/4" to 2", with plastic-coated handles providing a non-slip grip.
