Features of the Rothenberger ROGRIP XL Pliers

The Rothenberger ROGRIP XL pliers (item code 1000000328) are a professional tool designed to offer superior performance in plumbing and mechanical applications. With an overall length of 400 mm, these water pump pliers ensure a secure and powerful grip on pipes and fittings of various sizes. The gripping capacity reaches up to 3.5 inches (approximately 90 mm), making them ideal for working on medium to large diameter pipes.

Robust Construction for Intensive Use

Made from high-quality chrome-vanadium steel, the ROGRIP XL offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear. The special heat treatment of the jaws ensures optimal hardness and long tool life even in the most demanding working conditions. The phosphated finish further protects the pliers from external agents, while the ergonomic bi-component handle ensures comfort during prolonged use and reduces hand fatigue.

Advanced Adjustment System

The pliers are equipped with a fast 15-position adjustment system that allows for precise adaptation of the jaw opening to the diameter of the pipe or nut to be gripped. This mechanism allows the desired size to be set quickly without repeated adjustments, increasing work efficiency. The jaw geometry has been designed to maximize gripping force and minimize the risk of slipping, even on smooth or wet surfaces.
