Knipex 85 01 Smart Grip Water Pump Pliers

The Knipex 85 01 Smart Grip Water Pump Pliers are professional-grade adjustable pliers designed for rapid one-handed operation across different pipe and nut sizes. Featuring Knipex's innovative SmartGrip technology, these pliers automatically adjust to the workpiece, making them ideal for plumbers, heating engineers and maintenance professionals who work with varying pipe diameters throughout the day. The automatic adjustment mechanism works seamlessly for both right-handed and left-handed users, eliminating the need for manual position changes when switching between different sized workpieces. The slim head design and flush joint bolt provide excellent access in confined spaces, whilst the box-joint construction with double guide ensures superior stability and durability during demanding applications. Self-locking action on pipes and nuts prevents slipping and reduces the hand force required, minimising user fatigue during extended use. The gripping surfaces feature specially hardened teeth with approximately 61 HRC hardness, delivering exceptional wear resistance and reliable grip on both pipes and fasteners. A built-in pinch guard protects fingers from being trapped, whilst the locking lever secures the handles closed for compact, safe storage in toolboxes or bags.
