Overview
The IPS SOFTTOUCH Neo NWH-190D is a 7.7" (196 mm) professional water pump plier with removable resin jaw caps, designed for plumbers, installers, and maintenance technicians who need to turn chrome fixtures and plated fittings without scratching them. Remove the caps and it works as a standard water pump plier.
A five-position adjustable joint opens to 1.89" (48 mm) and grips pipe from Ø0.14" to Ø1.89" (3.5–48 mm), a wide range for a compact tool. The clear resin caps attach and detach by hand with no tools, and a spare set is included. At 6.2 oz (175 g), IPS rates it about 30% lighter than its previous model, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive work. One handle ends in a flat-blade screwdriver shape.
PVC-coated handles provide a comfortable grip, and the black cationic electrodeposition coating is rated by IPS at roughly 10 times the rust resistance of nickel-chrome plating. Made in Japan.

Product Safety
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and safety glasses, when using tools.
- Wear safety glasses when striking, cutting, or prying with any tool.
- Inspect each tool before use and do not operate if damaged.
- Use all tools only for their intended purpose and within their specified limits.
- Do not use on live electrical circuits unless the tool is certified to IEC 60900 / VDE 1000V and marked accordingly.
- Only tools carrying that certification are rated for work near energized conductors.
- A plastic handle, resin shaft cover, or internal insulating component is not electrical insulation and will not protect you from shock.
- Always disconnect power and verify the circuit is de-energized with a tester before working on electrical equipment.
- Store tools in a dry location and keep them out of reach of children.
