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.

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.

Review: Amazing pliers - These pliers are an absolute gem! The grip strength is phenomenal, locking onto nuts and bolts with unwavering precision. The finish is top-notch, sleek, and durable, resisting wear even after heavy use. Adjusting the jaw is a breeze with the smooth, push-button mechanism, making it effortless to switch between tasks. This size is perfect for most jobs—versatile enough for plumbing, automotive, or home repairs. I’ve been so impressed that I’ve bought multiple pairs over the years, and they never fail to deliver! I’ve even started buying these as Christmas gifts to friends because I use mine so much. Highly recommend these pliers to anyone needing a reliable, high-quality tool.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very strong grip strength well worth the price
*by C***P on November 16, 2025*

Best pliers I have bought so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get Several Sizes
*by K***L on January 19, 2025*

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.
