Description

Made In Wuppertal-Cronenberg, Germany. In Addition To Quality, Innovation And Performance, Other Important Cornerstones Are Sustainable Actions And Value-Guided Orientation. 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 01 300 Cobra Pliers, 12-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.

  • The Mighty Mini: Knipex Cobra 5-Inch Pliers That Punch Above Their Weight!
Size: 5-Inch
The Knipex Cobra Water Pump Pliers (8701125) are nothing short of a game-changer for anyone working in HVAC or any hands-on trade. As a professional HVAC technician, I rely on tools that are durable, versatile, and ergonomic—and this little powerhouse checks all the boxes. First off, the compact 5-inch size is absolutely perfect. It fits snugly in the waistband case provided by Knipex, allowing me to carry it effortlessly throughout the day. 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. The pliers feel solid in hand, yet lightweight enough to avoid fatigue during extended use. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, even in tight spaces. Its performance inspires confidence—this tool feels like an extension of my hand. From a daily workflow perspective, this is my second most-used tool, right after my knife. It’s incredibly satisfying to know I have such a dependable, multifunctional tool with me at all times. Whether it’s a routine service call or an unexpected challenge, the Knipex Cobra is always up for the task. If you’re in the market for a reliable, compact tool that punches well above its weight class, the Knipex Cobra 5-inch pliers are worth every penny. This is one of those tools you’ll wonder how you ever lived without. Highly, highly recommended! ... show more

  • what have i been using all my life that call themselves "tools"?????!?!??!?!
Size: 6-Inch
it's been a long time comin ive had my eye on these for years but idk why i just never pulled the trigger. but in my job ive had to work more and more w plumbing n pipes and other situations where i needed a wrench to pry things open/loose.. i would use the old style tongue and groove pliers but haaaatteee the way u adjusted them: making them do the splits just to open it up like a quarter inch.... thas straight not dope ya know??? lol but i was doing some xmas shopping for the fam when i came across these as well as some other Knipex tools for sale at prices i couldn't pass up,... and boyyyy lemme tells ya, IM MAD AT MYSELF FOR MAKING ME WAIT THIISSS LONGGG TO EXPERIENCE KNIPEX AND WHAT A HAND TOOL REALLY IS!! my lord the teeth on these raptors are actually raptor razor sharp, they grab onto just about anything at the slightest bite. the size i ordered too are perfect for what i need them for and the feel of them are superb. they fit in the hand so naturally it makes squeezing them to get a good grab near effortless. and the compact size makes these the able to get into all of the most awkward and small tight spots i encounter w ease. and the build quality on these is just flat out perfect. i never thought i could see a tool that functions at a level these do, as well as have the looks and style to match. these are like (just like another high point for german engineers) a sleek sports car fresh on center platform at debut. i mean ive never had a set specific cleanup kit for a single tool in my life before, (usually prefer the opposite n to let em wear their grit n grime), but here we are as i keep a fresh mini wipe to use to get any shmutz off after use. and im not embarrassed to say that in the least lol. if there's any Knipex hand tool put there you've always wanted, but felt u couldn't justify the higher cost for it; do yourself a favor and stop wasting precious time that you could have spent raving about these amazing tools. youll be so mad at yourself for waiting so long once you hold them in your hands lol. (this purchase was my first ever for Knipex, and i got 3 items this time and each one is the best version of that particular tool ive ever seen/used. some are even better than multiple tools at easch of their different types of tools lol.) and just so its clear, its pronounced:: 'KUH-nip-EX'• not 'NIPP-ex'• or 'nigh-PEX'• ... show more

  • Knipex Cobra Water Pump Pliers are the absolute best!
Size: 5-Inch
Knipex Cobra Water Pump Pliers are the absolute best. I bought these as presents for both my husband & son-in-law who report they are crazy useful and use them almost every day for a wide variety of tasks. They are easy to adjust and lock with one hand, relatively light weight and balanced, and finely calibrated. While these may cost more than competitors, their fine craftsmanship and superior material quality make them a great value for the money. ... show more
