I can't stress enough how much I love the portability; it feels elegant and practical to have this tool always at the ready. In the field, I use it constantly for a variety of tasks. Whether I'm tightening or loosening stiff valves, pulling apart stubborn wire terminals (without damaging them or resorting to my needle nose pliers), or tackling those odd jobs that pop up unexpectedly, the Cobra Pliers never fail to deliver precision and power. The self-locking adjustment mechanism grips with authority, and the teeth stay sharp and aggressive, even after heavy use. The build quality is impeccable, as you’d expect from Knipex.

  • Fantastic Plier Set
Size: 16-Inch
So, when it comes to the topic of pliers, the German branded KNIPEX stands in a top tier category and has earned their reputation as one of the most superior brands in the industry. I own pliers from other companies, and while they all do their jobs just fine (some not so fine), the KNIPEX does it the best because the Cobra design has significantly more adjustability options than competitors which usually only have between 3-8. This one has like 20 adjustments (or more) which makes these pliers a perfect tool tailored for any hand size. In terms of the size I chose, which I own smaller versions of this set, the 16in plier in this case is definitely not small. I added a photo showing the sizes I have (8, 10, 12, 16, 20in) and the 16in KNIPEX is circled in yellow. The 16in pliers are definitely BIG. I also own a 20in set from Milwaukee, and omg talk about industrial huge. The Milwaukee is flat out too big at 20in for any home use needs, and I have only ever used it once for a very large project I was working on. 16 would be a great sweet spot size for home pipes, water softener connectors, sprinklers and other common seen home water line items. I mention the part about the Milwaukee 20in that I own because KNIPEX makes an XXL version at 22in, and for 99.9% of all plier users, 20in+ is going to be massive overkill and frankly too big for anything that is non-industrial sized jobs. Bottom line, I will be switching all of my pliers to KNIPEX over time and highly recommend this brand of pliers to anyone who wants a set of tools that can be passed down to future generations.
