88 01 250 KNIPEX Alligator

The KNIPEX 88 01 250 hydraulic pliers, also known as alligator pliers, are high-quality tools designed to provide a secure and comfortable grip on tubes and nuts. They are made of forged chrome-vanadium steel, ensuring extremely long life and exceptional resistance to stress.

Key Features

• Self-locking on tubes and nuts thanks to the special geometry of the jaws, which eliminates the risk of slipping and reduces the necessary manual force.
• Induction-hardened jaw heads at approximately 61 HRC, ensuring a stable and durable grip.
• Box hinge design with double guide for high stability and stress resistance.
• Compact head and joint area design, ideal for working in tight or hard to reach spaces.
• 9-phase adjustment system for optimal grip on components, with a grip capacity of up to 50 mm (2 inches) for tubes and 46 mm for nuts.

Grip and Stability

The KNIPEX 88 01 250 pliers are designed to provide a firm and stable grip on components. The geometry of the jaws, with the teeth offset from the direction of rotation, guarantees a firm grip even under heavy loads.

Comfort and Safety

• The slim design of the head and joint area allows easy access to workpieces, even in confined spaces.
• The sturdy construction and ease of cleaning make them ideal for outdoor use and in demanding working conditions.
• The presence of a forged closing limit protects the operator's fingers from being crushed.

These hydraulic pliers are the result of a multi-stage manufacturing process that combines the forging of chromium-vanadium steel with a high-frequency hardening treatment, ensuring an optimal balance between hardness and toughness.
