The Cobra® XS is of course - like all members of the KNIPEX Cobra® family - self-clamping on pipes and nuts: This prevents slipping on the workpiece and work such as gripping, holding, pressing and bending is much more effortless. This fine adjustment also ensures that the distance between the handles remains easy to grasp at any opening width. This in turn means that these teeth, particularly on workpieces made of softer materials such as copper or brass, can leave their mark on the surface.

They play an important role in the area of sanitary installation, but are also used in many other jobs, such as ventilation. With the KNIPEX Cobra®, the opening width can also be set directly on the workpiece, eliminating annoying fiddling around. The pliers are placed on the workpiece, the handles pressed together and they fit and grip securely – if you frequently resort to different workpiece sizes, this will make work easier and is not only valued in the sanitary sector. Intensive use in turn is made possible by another KNIPEX quality feature: The teeth are induction hardened, so that they can still grip firmly and securely even after long, intensive use – like on the first day.It enables different opening widths of the gripping jaw - and thus gripping workpieces of different diameters. The bodies of the KNIPEX Cobra® pliers are made of forged chrome vanadium steel and also feature an ideal balance between hardness and toughness by means of a multi-stage hardening process. Once set correctly, the pressure on the upper pliers handle is sufficient to turn the workpiece powerfully. For pipes, nuts, sleeves, for various types of workpieces: The benefits of the KNIPEX Cobra® are palpable when working: These water pump pliers are light and strong, can be adjusted on the workpiece quickly at the touch of a button and are self-locking on pipes and nuts.

By means of fine adjustment directly on the workpiece it offers eleven setting positions, which grip nuts up to 24 mm diameter and other workpieces even up to 28 mm diameter - and all this with a length of only 100 millimetres. It is a fully functional high-tech water pump plier, which proves its size especially in tight spaces. It replaces a whole set of wrenches with continuous gripping in the entire capacity range - metric and imperial! Due to the stroke between the gripping jaws, the pliers wrench can be used to work with the ratchet principle. That makes the pliers wrench particularly suitable for the assembly of parts with sensitive surfaces, e.The hose clamp or spring hose clamp pliers enable the gripping, holding and placing of spring band clamps on automotive hoses thanks to special gripping inserts in the functional jaws. Nevertheless, they protect the workpiece because they grip the surfaces without play and without straining the edges. From the mini water pump pliers to the XL pliers wrench, we offer you a comprehensive range – which also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of pipe wrenches and high-performance pipe wrenches. The high-quality KNIPEX water pump pliers are characterised by the fact that their jaws are self-locking.
