Water pump pliers Alligator

Sturdy and wear-resistant - even for outdoor use
For professional use, the Knipex Alligator's box joint with its double guide offers very high stability. The teeth of the gripping surfaces are induction-hardened to approx. 61 HRC. This guarantees a particularly long tool life with a constant “biting” grip on the workpiece. The Knipex Alligator is robustly built, easy to clean and therefore also an ideal tool for outdoor work.
Knipex Alligator: many production steps for high tool quality
We forge the Knipex Alligator from chrome vanadium steel and use a multi-stage hardening process to give it the optimum balance of hardness and toughness. This makes them highly resilient. For a permanently secure “bite” on the workpiece, we also harden the gripping teeth to a hardness of approx. 61 HRC using high-frequency current.
Professional users expect tool quality that will last for many years of hard use. We develop and manufacture our pliers for the most demanding users imaginable: tradesmen. Every pair of Knipex pliers is manufactured to the highest standards from the most suitable materials. A purchase for many years of safe and reliable work.
