Description

No more time-consuming test-adjusting of the correct opening size. Just position the upper jaw to the workpiece, push button and move close the lower jaw, ingeniously simple. 30% more capacity than a conventional pipe wrench. Self-locking on pipes and nuts due to teeth set against the rotation - no slipping on the workpiece. Pinch guard prevents fingers from being pinched. Adjustment at the touch of a button. Has 25 adjustment positions to adjust to hex nuts up to 1 13/16" and round pipe up to 2". Self locking on pipes and nuts (view larger).No more time- consuming test-adjusting to achieve the correct size. With the Knipex Cobra water pump pliers, you can simply position the upper jaw to the workpiece, push the button, and close the lower jaw. And you'll also be able to say goodbye to blood blisters you get with other gripping pliers. With safety its first priority, Knipex has designed a built-in pinch guard that prevents blood blisters on your hand.The unique self-locking adjustment and induction hardened gripping teeth means that once it's set, it stays. There's no slipping and no need to waste strength squeezing the pliers — ensuring operator safety and more efficient work. Cobra's unique jaw configuration can grip any shape object — flat, round, hex, or square. It also eliminates nut burring to avoid stripping pipes, nuts, or bolts. Additionally, the Cobra's newly redesigned adjustment provides 30 percent more gripping capacity than previous models.A simple push of the patented push button adjustment maintains jaw size setting and gives you the correct size opening every time. Just position the upper jaw to the workpiece, push the button, adjust the opening, and close the lower jaw. And it's easily done with just one hand for trouble- free operation in confined spaces. Cobra water pump pliers are constructed from chrome vanadium electric steel, an innovative high alloy, oil tempered steel that ensures longevity. And their thin head design helps you get into spaces other pliers can't, so there's no need to change tools when working in tight confines. Patented push button system (view larger).Quality in Every DetailSometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look. The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this.The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied users are worth this effort.Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers.About KnipexHeadquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, Knipex is an independently-owned family enterprise steeped in tradition and specializing in the manufacturing of high-quality pliers. It all started back in 1882 when C. Gustav Putsch set up his own forge shop in Cronenberg (now a suburb of Wuppertal), and the company is now run by a fourth generation of that family. The world's leading brand in pliers today, Knipex is focused on the performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools in order to meet the high expectations of professional users.87 01 250 Cobra Pliers, 10-InchAt a GlanceAdjustment at the touch of a button directly on the workpieceFast, firm adjustment directly on the workpieceSelf-locking on pipes and nuts: no slipping on the workpiece and low hand force requiredGripping surfaces with special hardened teethPinch guard prevents operators' fingers from being pinchedChrome vanadium heavy-duty steel, forged and oil-hardened See larger image.

  • Compact, Precise, and Built Like a Tank
Size: 4-Inch
I grabbed the KNIPEX Cobra XS Water Pump Pliers for tight spaces and small plumbing jobs, and they’ve quickly become my go-to tool. These are tiny but extremely powerful — don’t let the “XS” fool you. The pliers open and adjust smoothly with just one hand, thanks to the Quick-Adjust system, which is a game-changer when you’re working in cramped spots. The gripping surfaces are perfect for round pipes, nuts, and bolts. They hold firmly without slipping, and I’ve been impressed with how well they maintain their grip even on worn or slick fittings. The compact size also means I can keep them in my tool pouch without them getting in the way. KNIPEX build quality is obvious: solid, durable, and precise. They feel comfortable in the hand even during extended use, and the spring mechanism makes repetitive tasks much easier. For anyone who works in plumbing, mechanical, or general DIY, these pliers punch way above their size. Bottom line: If you need a small, precise, and super-reliable pair of water pump pliers, the Cobra XS is worth every penny. It’s a little powerhouse that belongs in every toolbox. ... show more

Size: 6-Inch
Great Knipex pliers as always. Great build quilty,jaw alignment is always on par and parallel with each other and it can’t get no easier to use with just push of a button. I bought the 6” because all the guys in the shop has the 5” I bought the 6” to have more capability and I do. But I love the 6” so much I am going to buy the “ for tight spaces and other things with a Knipex pouch to keep my 5” and 6” Cobras in. ... show more

  • Why shop around. Nothing comes close quality/priccewise.
Size: 6-Inch
These are extreme workhorses to any guys in mechanical trades. Small? Covered. Medium? They will do it. I'll use them on stuff up to 3/4" if theres not a load. No flex, no bend, no break, tiny give, just like tool steel oughta be. Adjustments? All of them. There isn't a better pair out there for general purpose, just size accordingly and don't write off the small ones, they fit and grip. Does seperate the grunts from the tradesmen. ... show more
