More output and comfort compared to conventional water pump pliers of the same length: 9-notch adjustment positioning for 30 % more gripping capacity.
Box-joint design for high stability due to double guide.
Self-locking on pipes and nuts: no slipping on the workpiece and low handforce required.
Guard prevents operators' fingers being pinched.
Favourable lever action: optimum transmission of force.
Gripping surfaces with special hardened teeth, teeth hardness approx. 61 HRC: high wear resistance and stable gripping.
Chrome vanadium electric steel, forged, multi stage oil-hardened.

Knipex Alligator: several manufacturing steps for high tool quality.
Energy-saving, tough, very compact and slim water pump pliers.
Full torque on pipes and nuts thanks to self-locking effect.
After it is pressed, the Knipex Alligator No.
88 05 180 holds onto pipes and nuts by itself.
This self-locking effect is possible thanks to the special jaw geometry developed by Knipex.
The user does not need to press the handles together, but can convert all energy directly into torque.
This property pays off in particular when loosening bolted connections that have become stuck.
Work in the plumbing and heating area is often conducted in confined spaces.
The arched adjustment slot and the slim head shape of the Knipex Alligator offer an advantage here.
The Knipex Alligator with its box joint design and double guide offers very high stability for professional use.
The teeth on the gripping surfaces have been induction hardened to approx. 61 HRC.
This guarantees a very long tool life with an ever "biting" hold on the component.
The Knipex Alligator is sturdily built, easy to clean and thus an ideal tool for working outdoors.
In the compact, 180 mm long version, the Knipex Alligator also fits in the outside pocket of work clothes.
The chrome plating offers ideal protection against rust, which is important if the pliers are kept permanently in a service vehicle, because changing temperatures can cause condensation which can result in corrosion if there is no rust protection.
The chrome plating is also essential during plumbing work in an environment where water can escape.
Stable and wear-resistant - also when used outside.
We forge the Knipex Alligator from chrome vanadium steel and use a multiple stage hardening process to give it the ideal balance between hardness and toughness.
This makes it extremely durable.
Chrome-plated surface for better rust protection.
Due to special jaw geometry, holds firmly with self-locking onto the component even under heavy load.
Professional users expect a tool quality that will last for several years of hard use.
We therefore develop and manufacture our pliers for the most demanding users imaginable: for craftsmen.
Every pair of pliers from Knipex is manufactured to the highest standards using the best materials.
A purchase for many years of safe, reliable work.
