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 18 adjustment positions to adjust to hex nuts up to 1 27/64" and round pipe up to 1 1/2". 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 01 180 Cobra Pliers, 7-1/4-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.

  • I have used these for years, love them.
I work in the draft beer distribution industry as a draft beer technician and I have used these for years to take apart beer faucets, and couplers and they are fantastic. I looked for these on Amazon and found a great price on them and bought 2. We usually go through a company that sells draft beer equipment and supplies but the price they charge on some things is crazy high plus THAT company charges huge shipping costs, not Amazon. They are strong made material, that have a great feel in your hand when using them in a cold or wet environment inside of restaurant walk in coolers and don’t have a feeling that they will slip. They have an ease to adjust to the size you need whether using it for small items like pins, or larger items like bolts or nuts so they are really versatile for any application. They are compact to fit in your pocket and just the right size to not feel tiny when in your hands. I highly recommend buying one pair to use for every day tasks, and a second one to use for specialized things. Whether in your work toolbox, a car for emergency purposes, or at home for whatever you may need this for, buy a pair today ... show more

  • Best pliers for the trades
Nothing compares to the grip and bite force these pliers have. Knipex really is the best out there for tradesmen and I'm a lifetime buyer at this point. These pliers are literally a fraction of the thickness of any other brands out there, making them much lighter but also better made. I like the pushbutton feature to prevent them from slipping off what you're working on. I bought 3 different sizes and haven't been disappointed yet. They all fit so well and comfortable in your hands when you're working. ... show more

  • Get Several Sizes
I'll add to the pile of 5/5 reviews for these. They are great quality and super-useful tools. I've got Channel Locks, which are OK, but these ones are the best in class. Smooth, strong, and bite-tightly. I've got the minis, the 7 inch, and the 10 inch, and also the giant 20+ inch ones. They all perform very well. They punch way outside of their weight class for most tasks. Not cheap, but buy once and cry once. If you have to pick a place to start, start with the 180s or 250s (7 or 10 inch), and go from there. It's probably worth getting a kit of three sizes though. You won't regret it. Knipex makes great tools overall, and these, their various cutters and pliers, the electrician's tool, and the pliers wrench are all awesome. ... show more

  • Exceptional Pliers
They offer excellent grip and precision, with adjustable settings that make them versatile for various tasks. The build quality is top-notch, and they’re comfortable to use.

  • Best pliers ever
These are the most versatile, well made pliers I have ever used. They have paid for themselves many times over at this point…. A must have tool for anyone who does things with tools. They are hardened to perfection. The teeth in the jaws are still in tact, whereas they would have flattened out or broken off with other sets. Everyone seems to REALLY love them because mine keep coming up missing… I am on set number 3 as of now…. i think I am going to go ahead and buy two more sets, just so i do not have to be without… should more sticky fingers arise. God, I love these pliers. ... show more

  • If you can only have one pair of pliers, this or the 10 inch version is the one to have.
Quick adjustment, better than "channel Locks". Jaws will mate to hex or square nuts to double as wrench. Essential first tool. Narrow Jaw fits in tighter places than some others.

  • Highly recommend!
The precision engineering and strong materials make them durable and easy to use. Perfect for professional or DIY projects. The ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during extended use.

  • Well worth the investment!
They offer a perfect balance of strength and precision, and the easy-to-adjust mechanism makes them versatile for any job. I’ve used them for various repairs, and they perform excellently every time.
