## Description

Product Description Compact high-tech water pump pliers Grip quickly, adjust finely The Knipex 87 01 180 Cobra with a length of 180 mm is one of the medium-sized models of Cobra water pump pliers from Knipex. The benefits of working with these water pump pliers are plain to see. They are compact, light and stable, can be positioned on the component quickly and are self-locking, e.g. on pipes and nuts. Due to its compact size, it is particularly suitable for work in confined spaces. Despite this, it achieves a gripping capacity for pipes with a diameter of up to 1 1⁄2 inches or 42 mm and for nuts up to a wrench opening of 36 mm. For pipes, nuts, sleeves, for various kinds of components: the professional user applies the Knipex Cobra quickly and accurately with just one hand movement. The spring-loaded hinge bolt locks securely into place without adjusting inadvertently. Thanks to the 18-fold fine adjustment, the Knipex Cobra 87 01 180 can be ideally adjusted to different sizes of the component. Tough and strong The Knipex Cobra is further stabilized by the box joint design. Unlike pliers with mounted joints, no tilting forces arise when under strain. The handles stabilize each other in the joint. Self-locking mechanism ensures a high degree of efficiency The Knipex Cobra clamps onto the component securely by itself thanks to the jaw geometry developed by Knipex. This means the user can put all energy into the desired movement without pressing the pliers handle together – and thus without energy loss: round components can be turned, bolted connections tightened and released. Short overview Has self-locking grip on pipes and nuts Big quality in a compact format: only 180 mm long Grip width up to a wrench opening of 36 mm / 1 1⁄2 inches for pipes, with low weight (170 g) 18-fold fine adjustment for fast adjustment to different sizes of component For turning, pulling, gripping, holding and screwing Gripping teeth induction hardened to approx. 61 HRC for secure hold and long service life Grips pipes, nuts and flat, round and angular components Knipex Cobra: several manufacturing steps for high tool quality We forge the Knipex Cobra from chrome vanadium steel and use a multiple-stage hardening process to give it the ideal balance between hardness and toughness. This makes it extremely durable. To achieve a lasting secure “bite” on the work component, we use a high-frequency current to bring the gripping teeth to a hardness of approx. 61 HRC. Professional users expect a tool quality that will last for many hard years of work. We develop and make our pliers for the most demanding users imaginable: for craftsmen. Every pair of pliers from Knipex is made to the highest standards using the best materials. A purchase for many years of use during assembly work, on the building site, in production, and in the workshop. Convenient and fast: fine adjustment at the touch of a button. Fast and accurate adjustment directly on the component. Self-locking effect due to teeth offset against the direction of rotation: firm hold of the component even under heavy loads. Has a self-locking grip on various sizes of flat, round and angular components.

Review: Best pliers ever. - A must have for your tool bag. This small beast will take on any task you throw at it, as long as the jaws can hold them of course. Really love them for the compact size and has become an essential tool for my EDC. Definitely a bit expensive here in India but if you can afford it then go for it.
Review: Nice pliers - These are great water pump pliers, the right size for use around the house. The grips have a nice non-slip texture. Knipex is known for its quality tools, but the finish could be a little bit better (the forging is excellent, but the grinding is a bit uneven). Despite this, the insides of the jaws are well made and finished.
