A good access to the workpiece is ensured by the slim design in the head and joint area. This tool offers more power and comfort compared to conventional water pump pliers of the same length. It features a 9-step locking adjustment for 30% more gripping force and a cage joint that provides high stability due to its double guidance. The self-locking design on pipes and screws prevents slipping off the workpiece and allows for gentle working. The pinch protection prevents crushing injuries, while the favorable lever ensures optimal power transmission. The gripping surfaces are equipped with specially hardened teeth that have a hardness of about 61 HRC, ensuring a permanently secure grip due to their high wear resistance. Made from chrome-vanadium electrosteel, this tool is forged and oil-hardened in multiple stages.
