Rothenberger Water Pump Pliers 12”

The 12 inch Rothenberger Water Pump Pliers open wider and give more leverage than the 10 inch. That makes them the better choice for larger nuts, waste fittings and pipe that needs real force to turn.

Why go for 12 inch Rothenberger water pump pliers

Large trap nuts, tank connectors and old fittings that have not moved in years all need a long handle. The self-locking action keeps the jaw set on the work, so it will not slip when you lean on it. The black epoxy powder coat resists rust, and the handles are designed not to slide in your grip.

Pick a jaw position that suits the size of the nut, keep the jaws square to it, and pull rather than push where you can. Protect plated or plastic parts with a rag, as the teeth bite hard. A little oil on the joint keeps the adjustment smooth, and a wipe down stops rust. Find the 10 inch pliers in our wrenches range.

Set the jaw so it closes squarely on the work, then grip firmly. Adjusting to the right slot matters more than squeezing harder.

Can I use them on plastic waste nuts?
