Adjustable Water Pump Pliers
A practical grip for pipes, fittings, and everyday repairs. Choose an individual size or equip your toolbox with a mixed-size set.
Adjust to the Job
The sliding joint lets you change the jaw opening to suit the workpiece. Adjust the position before gripping to handle different pipe and fitting sizes with the same tool.
Choose from three tool sizes to match your working space and the task at hand.
Metal Body, Comfortable Hold
A metal body pairs with coated handles for a comfortable hold during repair tasks. The angled head helps position the jaws around accessible pipes and fittings.
From the compact 8-inch model to the longer 12-inch option, each size features the same practical sliding-joint design.
Serrated Jaws for a Firm Grip
Textured teeth help hold round pipes and shaped fittings while you turn or steady them. Set the opening to match the workpiece and seat the jaws securely before applying force.
The adjustable opening makes these pliers useful for a range of gripping tasks around the home and workshop.
Ready for Everyday Repairs

Set, Grip, and Turn
Open the handles, slide the joint to a suitable position, and seat the jaws around the workpiece. Close the handles to grip, then turn with steady, controlled pressure.
For a secure hold, check that the pivot is properly seated before starting the job.
