Cobra ES Extra-Slim Pump Pliers - 10 Inches

Knipex, a family-owned enterprise headquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, has been specializing in the manufacturing of high-quality pliers since 1882. As the world's leading brand in pliers, Knipex is focused on the performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools to meet the high expectations of professional users.

Sustainability and value-guided orientation are crucial cornerstones, in addition to quality, innovation, and performance. The extra-slim Knipex Cobra water pump pliers (model 87 51 250) exemplify these principles. With their self-locking jaws, these pliers offer a time-saving solution, eliminating the need for tedious test-adjusting to achieve the correct size. By simply positioning the upper jaw on the workpiece and pushing the button, the lower jaw closes, providing a firm grip without causing blood blisters, a common issue with other gripping pliers.

Knipex's commitment to safety is evident in the built-in pinch guard, which prevents hand injuries. The long, narrow jaws of this model make it ideal for service and maintenance, equipment repair, automotive, and general industry applications, providing good access to the workpiece due to the slim construction of the head and joint area.

The unique self-locking adjustment and induction-hardened gripping teeth ensure that the pliers stay securely in place, eliminating the need for excessive squeezing and promoting operator safety and efficiency. The Cobra's versatile jaw configuration can grip a variety of shapes, including flat, round, hex, or square, while avoiding nut burring to prevent stripping pipes, nuts, or bolts.

Knipex's dedication to quality is reflected in the materials and production processes used. The steel is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, ensuring optimum cutting performance and service life. The rivet of the high-leverage diagonal cutter is forged straight onto the pliers, withstanding significant stress.

Knipex's attention to detail extends to the angles, sharpness, hardness, and toughness of the cutting edges, as well as the precision and smooth movement of the joint, the handle design, and the finish. This continuous review, research, and testing process ensures that Knipex pliers meet the high demands of professional users.

In short, Knipex's extra-slim water pump pliers offer exceptional access, one-handed adjustment, secure gripping, and safety features, making them the preferred choice for a wide range of applications. Knipex's commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability sets it apart as the number one choice for tradesmen worldwide.
