180 mm V-Jaw Water Pump Plier

The Knipex 87 01 180 SBA is a hand tool designed for gripping bolts, nuts and pipes. Its V-shaped serrated jaws and push-button adjustment mechanism suit maintenance and repair tasks where quick size changes are needed. The polished chrome vanadium steel body provides durability for professional and DIY use.

Push-button adjustment with 18 positions

A push-button mechanism allows the user to select from 18 jaw positions without removing the plier from the workpiece. The jaws open to a maximum of 1 1/2 in and feature hardened gripping teeth at approximately 61 HRC. The self-locking action on pipes and nuts reduces slipping during high-torque applications.

Suits technicians needing fast, one-hand adjustment

This plier fits users who value rapid, one-hand jaw changes and a secure grip on round or hex profiles. The standard cushion plastic grips are not insulated, so electricians requiring VDE-rated tools should look elsewhere. Buyers needing tether-ready attachment points or non-sparking materials for hazardous environments will also need a different model.

Questions about this item

What does the 180 mm overall length mean when the pliers are in a real tool bag?

The 180 mm length makes the tool compact enough for a standard tool bag while still providing 18 jaw positions for a wide range of bolt, nut and pipe sizes.

What does the push-button adjustment mechanism cap in practice?

The push-button mechanism locks into 18 precise positions and self-locks on pipes and nuts, preventing the jaws from slipping once set.

What does the plier need to fit or mount on a workpiece?

The V-shaped serrated jaws with a maximum opening of 1 1/2 in grip bolts, nuts and pipes directly; no extra mounting hardware is required.
