Frequently Asked Questions:
Why would I need three different sizes of water pump pliers?
Different sizes give you the flexibility to handle anything from small, delicate fittings to large, heavy-duty pipework without overstraining the tool.
Can I use the smaller pair for precision work?
Yes, the 175mm pliers are ideal for confined spaces and lighter tasks, such as under-sink plumbing or appliance repairs.
Do the jaws lock in position?
No, they don’t lock – the slip joint lets you quickly change jaw opening size to suit the job.
Will the serrated jaws damage softer materials?
They provide a strong grip, so wrapping the jaws in a cloth or tape will help protect delicate surfaces like chrome-plated fittings.
Are the handles comfortable to use in wet conditions?
Yes – the soft grip coating provides excellent traction even when your hands are wet or oily.
What’s the advantage of having a 300mm pair?
The extra length offers greater leverage for loosening seized or rusted fittings, making it perfect for stubborn jobs.
Can I use them on plastic pipes?
Yes, but apply only light pressure to avoid deforming or cracking the material.
Do they resist rust?
The steel has a protective finish, but cleaning and drying after use will prolong their lifespan.
What’s a common trade scenario for using all three sizes?
A plumber might use the smallest pair for tight under-basin spaces, the medium pair for general compression fittings, and the largest for outdoor stopcocks or industrial pipework.
How should I store them?
Keep them in a dry toolbox or hang them on a pegboard so they’re easy to access and protected from damage.
