against the rotation – no slipping on the workpiece. Pinch guard prevents
fingers from being pinched. Adjustment at the touch of a button. Has 18
adjustment positions to adjust to hex nuts up to 1 27/64″ and round pipe up to
1 1/2″. Self locking on pipes and nuts (view larger).No more time-
consuming test-adjusting to achieve the correct size. With the Knipex Cobra
water pump pliers, you can simply position the upper jaw to the workpiece,
push the button, and close the lower jaw. And you’ll also be able to say
goodbye to blood blisters you get with other gripping pliers. With safety its
first priority, Knipex has designed a built-in pinch guard that prevents blood
blisters on your hand.The unique self-locking adjustment and induction
hardened gripping teeth means that once it’s set, it stays. There’s no
slipping and no need to waste strength squeezing the pliers — ensuring
operator safety and more efficient work. Cobra’s unique jaw configuration can
grip any shape object — flat, round, hex, or square. It also eliminates nut
burring to avoid stripping pipes, nuts, or bolts. Additionally, the Cobra’s
newly redesigned adjustment provides 30 percent more gripping capacity than
previous models.A simple push of the patented push button adjustment maintains
jaw size setting and gives you the correct size opening every time. Just
position the upper jaw to the workpiece, push the button, adjust the opening,
and close the lower jaw. And it’s easily done with just one hand for trouble-
free operation in confined spaces. Cobra water pump pliers are constructed
from chrome vanadium electric steel, an innovative high alloy, oil tempered
steel that ensures longevity. And their thin head design helps you get into
spaces other pliers can’t, so there’s no need to change tools when working in
tight confines. Patented push button system (view larger).Quality in Every
DetailSometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them
to find out what makes them good and long-lasting. Because we don’t want to
leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look. The steel Knipex uses
is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts
of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service
life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But
our high product demands require this.The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal
cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. That’s why we literally give
it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we
have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied
users are worth this effort.Knipex also looks closely at the small details.
The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges.
The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the
finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve
our pliers.About KnipexHeadquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, Knipex is an
independently-owned family enterprise steeped in tradition and specializing in
the manufacturing of high-quality pliers. It all started back in 1882 when C.
Gustav Putsch set up his own forge shop in Cronenberg (now a suburb of
Wuppertal), and the company is now run by a fourth generation of that family.
The world’s leading brand in pliers today, Knipex is focused on the
performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools in order to meet the
