Description

The KNIPEX Alligator 250mm (88 01 250) is a high-performance multi-jaw water pump plier designed for working on hexagonal fasteners, round pipe, square section, and flat materials with exceptional grip and reliability. The multi-position adjustment provides a wide jaw opening range, and the interlocking teeth pattern — which gives the Alligator its name — locks the jaw at the set width without slipping, even under high torque.
The 250mm format provides good mechanical advantage for driving the larger cable gland sizes, conduit locknuts, and hex fasteners encountered in electrical installation. The broad jaw face coverage ensures solid contact on hexagonal profiles, providing tightening and loosening capability without the risk of rounding.
The Alligator’s distinctive interlock mechanism makes it exceptionally reliable for sustained, high-torque work where conventional slip-joint pliers might creep or slip. A powerful, dependable alternative to the Cobra for professionals who prefer a different adjustment and locking mechanism.
