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.

  • BEST PLIERS EVER!
Size: 12-Inch Pattern Name: Pliers
I purchased 2 of these. I'm an HVAC installer and these 12in Knipex Cobra Pliers are Hands Down the Best Pair of pliers I've ever used in my life. They grip extremely well and make other pairs of Channel Locks feel like children's toys. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of these ASAP and throw your channel locks in the trash! I love the one handed quick set button. They are super easy to adjust in tight spaces with lots of grooves. They lock in place and do not slip. Fast shipping, great price, Brand new condition as stated! I'm beyond happy with this purchase and they are a must have in my tool bag! The one flaw to these is the push button cap falls off fairly easily however it has zero effect on function. ... show more

  • The smallest useful size for 'EDC'
Size: 6-Inch Pattern Name: Pliers
The tool is great! It's well made, precision ground at the jaws, easy to adjust one handed and fits easily in a CLC two pocket belt pouch that will also carry my Leatherman at the same time. I have to recommend this size to anyone who is looking to add a small wrench as a pocket too. The 4" version of these is making the rounds of all the tacti-cool Youtubers as being the newest thing to add to your "EDC". I ordered the 4" and the 5" to see what all the fuss was about. I'm not 'tacti-cool' But, as someone that's been formally trained as a plumber and worked in that trade, general property maintenance and, the pool industry over the last 25+ years; having a handy multitool on you is a step saver. I've carried a Leatherman of one type or the other since the late 90's. I also have used 10 and 12 inch versions of this type of plier for plumbing and pump work. I'm 6' and 280 with large meaty hands. The 4" was just ridiculous to try and use and the 5" wasn't much better to use. Even my 5' wife thought the 4" was just too small to get a good grip on. She ended up deciding the 5" would work for her and I've been using the 6" version for the last several days on our 5 acre property as I build chicken tractors and other things. ... show more

  • The King of Pliers
Size: 10-Inch Pattern Name: Pliers
Knipex is the king of pliers. They are second to none. I've used Snap-on. I've used Pittsburgh. I've used Craftsman. I've used Channellock. Matco is the only one that can even compare, as they are rebranded Knipex, with a slightly better warranty, meaning Matco will replace them for any reason as it has their name on it. They feel great in the hand. The joint is smooth, and the grips are comfortable. Probably the highest quailty tool I have in my tool cart, but I wanted them to be the last pliers I purchase for a long time, and I feel I got that. ... show more

  • Who would have guess a pair of pliers could be special
Size: 10-Inch Pattern Name: Pliers
I have owned a lot of pliers, most get the job done, but they are not great. I don't tell my friends about them, I don't tell guys to add them to their wedding registry, and I don't wish I had more of them. Hands down the best designed and best-made pliers I have ever owned. You will not be disappointed. ... show more
