Water Pump Pliers Bosch Professional 1600A039R9, 250 mm, Quick Adjustment

Bosch Professional 1600A039R9 Water Pump Pliers, 250 mm

The Bosch 1600A039R9 are water pump pliers with a length of 250 mm and multi-component handles from Bosch's professional hand-tool range. The manufacturer describes them as an indispensable tool for gripping and turning a variety of workpieces - pipes, nuts and bolts - especially in plumbing and automotive applications.

Quick adjustment button

The pliers have a quick adjustment button that changes and locks the jaw width in one movement. For this size Bosch states 24 adjustment positions and an opening range of 0 - 50 mm. That is also the main difference from the 180 mm (1600A039RA) version in the same range.

Induction-hardened gripping teeth

The gripping teeth are made from induction-hardened steel to give a strong and precise grip on the workpiece. The tool hardness is 60 +/-2 HRC and the material stated by Bosch for this article is carbon steel. The article complies with the ISO 8976 standard.

Multi-component handles

The handles are multi-component with soft-grip areas. According to the manufacturer they help you work effectively - with better control over the tool and less strain on your hand, which matters when turning pipes and fittings.

Applications

Water pump pliers are a core tool for plumbers, HVAC fitters and vehicle mechanics: loosening and tightening pipe joints, union nuts, fittings and caps, and holding a pipe while working with a second wrench. The 250 mm size and the 0.379 kg weight determine what size of workpiece is comfortably gripped and how much force can be applied.
