KNIPEX Cobra Water Pump Pliers, 10-Inch, Red

Knipex, a family-owned enterprise headquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, has been specializing in manufacturing high-quality pliers since 1882. The company, now run by the fourth generation of the founding family, is renowned as the world's leading brand in pliers, focusing on the performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools to meet the high expectations of professional users.

In addition to quality, innovation, and performance, Knipex's cornerstones include sustainable actions and value-guided orientation. The Knipex Cobra water pump pliers exemplify these principles, offering features that enhance efficiency, safety, and durability.

The self-locking mechanism on the Cobra pliers eliminates the need for time-consuming test adjustments to achieve the correct size. Users can simply position the upper jaw on the workpiece, push the button, and close the lower jaw. This design also prevents blood blisters, a common issue with other gripping pliers, thanks to the built-in pinch guard.

The unique self-locking adjustment and induction-hardened gripping teeth ensure that the pliers stay firmly in place, preventing slipping and reducing the need for excessive force. The Cobra's jaw configuration can grip a variety of shapes, including flat, round, hex, and square, without causing nut burring or pipe damage.

The newly redesigned adjustment mechanism provides a 30% increase in gripping capacity compared to previous models. The patented push-button adjustment allows users to maintain the jaw size setting and achieve the correct opening with just one hand, making it easy to operate in confined spaces.

Constructed from chrome vanadium electric steel, an innovative high-alloy, oil-tempered steel, the Cobra pliers are built to last. Their thin-head design enables access to tight spaces, eliminating the need to switch tools.

Knipex's commitment to quality and durability is evident in the rigorous testing the company conducts on its products. The steel used in the pliers, with a maximum of 0.8% carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, is precisely hardened to ensure optimal cutting performance and service life, despite the additional production costs.

The rivet of the high-leverage diagonal cutter is also forged straight onto the pliers, providing extra strength to withstand the high levels of stress it is subjected to during use.

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. The company continuously reviews, researches, and tests its pliers to ensure they meet the high expectations of professional users.

With these Knipex 8701250 10-Inch Cobra Pliers, users can expect fast, efficient, and safe operation, thanks to the innovative features that prioritize performance, durability, and ergonomics. Knipex's commitment to quality and innovation has made it the number one choice of tradesmen worldwide.
