Knipex KN8801-10BKA Alligator Adjustable Pliers 10 in

Product Description

The KNIPEX KN8801-10BKA is a 10-inch Alligator adjustable utility plier designed for gripping, turning, and holding hex bolts, nuts, pipes, and fittings. The tool is forged from oil-hardened chrome vanadium steel, delivering the strength and wear resistance trade professionals expect in daily use. A parallel jaw design maintains consistent contact across flat and hex surfaces, reducing slip and rounding. A built-in guard prevents the handles from closing completely, protecting fingers during operation. At 0.72 pounds, the plier is light enough for extended overhead or confined-space work without fatigue.

The KN8801-10BKA suits a wide range of trade applications including plumbing rough-in and service, HVAC installation, electrical conduit work, and general mechanical maintenance. The 2-inch jaw capacity handles common fastener and pipe sizes encountered in residential and light commercial settings. The polished steel finish resists corrosion, and the red and black grip handles provide a secure hold in wet or oily conditions. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and electricians will find this tool effective for everyday fastener and fitting work.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by qualified tradespeople including plumbers, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and electricians. Always de-energize electrical circuits and shut off water or gas supply before using hand tools on live systems. Inspect the jaw and pivot for wear before each use. Do not use as a substitute for a properly sized wrench on torque-critical fasteners.
