FAQs

What material are these pliers made from?

They are made from CRV Chrome (Chrome Vanadium steel) for durability and resistance to corrosion.

What does 'box-joint' mean for these pliers?

The box-joint construction means the pivot point is enclosed, offering greater stability, strength, and alignment compared to traditional C-joint pliers.

How do I ensure the best grip?

Adjust the jaw opening to fit snugly around the object. The serrated jaws provide the grip. For optimal performance, ensure the jaws are clean and free from grease.

Can these pliers cut wire?

These water pump pliers are designed for gripping and turning. They do not have a cutting edge and are not suitable for cutting wire.

What is the main advantage of the 250mm size?

The 250mm (10 inch) size offers a good balance of leverage and maneuverability, making them suitable for a wide range of common plumbing and mechanical tasks without being excessively bulky.

Are these pliers suitable for very hot pipes?

While durable, they are hand tools. Use appropriate safety gear, such as heat-resistant gloves, when working with hot pipes.

Troubleshooting

Pliers feel stiff or difficult to adjust

Clean the box-joint mechanism and apply a light lubricant. Ensure no debris is lodged in the joint.

Grip is not secure on a pipe

Ensure the jaws are fully open and properly engaged around the pipe. Check that the pipe surface is not excessively smooth or damaged. The 250mm size may not be optimal for very small or very large diameter pipes.

Rust spots appear on the pliers

Gently scrub the rust spots with a fine steel wool or wire brush. Clean thoroughly and apply a light protective oil coating. Ensure the pliers are stored in a dry environment.

Care:
