Water Pump Pliers

An adjustable plier which works off a tongue and groove mechanism designed for gripping round and smooth surfaces such as pipe work. Although primarily used for pipework the name 'water pump plier' originates from Germany where they were typically used to fit water pumps on cars. They are available in a variety of sizes, some are quick release and some have parallel jaws for gripping things like nuts. They can also be used to tighten nuts and bolts making them a well rounded tool. We stock well-known brands such as IRWIN, Rothenberger, Stanley, BAHCO and Monument.
