When it comes to choosing the right tools for the job, it's important to understand the differences and benefits. Water pump pliers are indispensable tools in various trades, be it plumbing or other construction work. Here we present our standard-setting KNIPEX water pump pliers and explain how they can make your work easier.
KNIPEX Cobra®: The hightech water pump pliers
The KNIPEX Cobra® water pump pliers are characterised by their intelligently serrated gripping surfaces and particularly precise adjustment at the touch of a button directly on the workpiece.
This fine adjustment enables optimum adaptation to different workpiece sizes and ensures a hand-friendly grip position. The 250 mm version of the Cobra® has 25 adjustment positions. What makes it special is its self-clamping function on pipes and nuts. This means that once you have found the right setting, the pliers stay securely on the workpiece and you can work with less effort.
The specially hardened teeth with a hardness of approx. 61 HRC ensure a permanently secure grip, even after intensive use. The box joint offers high stability and the secure locking of the hinge pin prevents unintentional adjustments. The pinch protection protects you from crushing injuries.
The KNIPEX Cobra® is therefore the ideal choice if you are looking for water pump pliers with many customisation options and safety features.
KNIPEX Alligator®: The robust water pump pliers
The KNIPEX Alligator® are water pump pliers with serrated gripping surfaces that give you very good access to the workpiece thanks to their slim design in the head and joint area.
Compared to conventional water pump pliers of the same length, the Alligator® offers 30 % more gripping capacity, which means you get more power and comfort. Like the Cobra®, the Alligator® has self-clamping properties on pipes and nuts, which prevents slipping off the workpiece and saves effort. However, it has fewer setting positions - compared to the 25 locking positions of the Cobra® at 250 mm, the Alligator® only has 9.
The specially hardened teeth with a hardness of approx. 61 HRC ensure a permanently secure grip, and the box joint guarantees high stability. The robust design makes them resistant to dirt and particularly suitable for outdoor work. As with the Cobra®, the Alligator® also has a pinch guard to prevent crushing injuries.
So if you are looking for versatile water pump pliers with a high gripping capacity and excellent accessibility that are easy to clean, the KNIPEX Alligator® is an excellent choice.
