Although water pump pliers get their name from being used to tighten the packed glands in water pumps in cars and vans, they can be used for gripping nuts and bolts with large round or square diameters and other irregular shaped objects. As such, they are suitable for many applications wherever a tight grip and leverage are required. They are sometimes known as water pump pipe wrenches, and they are often used by;

• Mechanics

• Plumbers

• Maintenance engineers

The term 'grips' can be applied to many different hand tools, and so can be confusing. For instance, pipe grip pliers are very similar, but often have a differently shaped head with smooth teeth. Though water pump pliers are very versatile with wide applications in plumbing and maintenance, they are designed specifically for packed glands on water pumps. Be sure to pay careful attention to the head when purchasing grips, to be assured they are suitable for your needs.
