Knipex-Werk manufactures and Knipex Tools LP distributes the highest quality tools for industrial and commercial use.

With good reason: We develop and manufacture our pliers for the most demanding users imaginable – for tradesmen. Our international reach ensures that professionals in the plumbing sector worldwide can access this exceptional tool, conveniently delivered to their doorstep.

Manufacturing precision is good for a large tool but doesn’t compare to other small tools and precision tools — e. This makes the handles a lot more comfortable than the Cobra XS, especially when it comes to extended use.The jaws on the 5-inch mini pliers wrench on the other are great for gripping onto nuts and bolts that are in good condition and shouldn't damage anything, but they struggle to get a grip on badly damaged fasteners. Recently, the Knipex Cobra XS water pump pliers have replaced the ever-popular multitool as my go-to EDC (everyday carry) pocket tool. These pliers are designed for efficiency, allowing you to work with precision and speed, saving you valuable time on every project.

This also means that if you squeeze the handle too tight you could potentially mar a delicate surface. I've been using tools all my life -- one of my earliest memories is of using a hammer with my grandfather – so while they don't bother me, even I notice they're not the most comfortable hand tools I've used. Featuring a gripping capacity of ø 28 mm and an opening of up to 24 mm, the Knipex Cobra XS ensures a secure and durable grip. It is a fully functional high-tech water pump plier, which proves its size especially in tight spaces.

KNIPEX launched the Cobra XS (100mm) earlier this year, and it’s already getting a lot of attention. Is there a tool that combines the power, performance, and compact size of the Cobra XS water pump pliers, but with more comfortable handles and jaws that won't chew up fasteners?

These trackers enable basic interactions and functionalities that allow you to access selected features of our service and facilitate your communication with us. Like the snake that gave the tool its name, the Cobra’s teeth set against the direction of rotation and have a self-locking effect which prevents slipping on the piece you’re working on.
