Knipex 414-8801250 Alligator Pliers, 10 in OAL, V-Jaws, 9 Adjustments, Serrated

The Knipex Alligator Pliers are a 10-inch chrome-vanadium electric steel–constructed tool designed for gripping a variety of shapes with a secure, non-slip hold. The V-Jaws and 9-position adjustable mechanism provide versatile clamping options, enabling the user to lock onto pipes, nuts, and irregular workpieces without slipping off. The self-locking action and serrated gripping surfaces, hardened to approximately 61 HRC, contribute to reliable engagement on a range of materials while helping to resist wear during repeated use. A thin jaw head allows access to tight spaces where bulkier pliers cannot reach, making these pliers suitable for cramped or awkward work environments common in maintenance and janitorial tasks.

The tool employs a box joint construction, which enhances alignment and durability under load and provides consistent performance across multiple applications. The combination of a precision jaw design, hardened teeth, and robust construction supports use in tasks such as loosening stubborn fasteners, gripping round or irregular objects, and securely holding components during assembly or disassembly. While this description reflects the documented construction and intended function, users should verify fit for specific fastener sizes and pipe diameters in their workflow since exact compatibility isn’t listed beyond the general 10-inch length and jaw features.

With a 10-inch overall length and a jaw length of 1 1/4 inches, these pliers offer a balance of reach and leverage for everyday shop, maintenance, or janitorial applications. They are packaged as a single unit and built to perform in environments where reliable grip and durable teeth matter for repetitive tasks, such as securing plumbing fittings or stubborn hardware in tight spaces.
