KNIPEX Tools – Cobra Water Pump Pliers (8701250), Red,10-Inch

it’s been a long time comin ive had my eye on these for years but idk why i just never pulled the trigger. but in my job ive had to work more and more w plumbing n pipes and other situations where i needed a wrench to pry things open/loose.. i would use the old style tongue and groove pliers but haaaatteee the way u adjusted them: making them do the splits just to open it up like a quarter inch…. thas straight not dope ya know??? lolbut i was doing some xmas shopping for the fam when i came across these as well as some other Knipex tools for sale at prices i couldn’t pass up,…and boyyyy lemme tells ya, IM MAD AT MYSELF FOR MAKING ME WAIT THIISSS LONGGG TO EXPERIENCE KNIPEX AND WHAT A HAND TOOL REALLY IS!!my lord the teeth on these raptors are actually raptor razor sharp, they grab onto just about anything at the slightest bite. the size i ordered too are perfect for what i need them for and the feel of them are superb. they fit in the hand so naturally it makes squeezing them to get a good grab near effortless. and the compact size makes these the able to get into all of the most awkward and small tight spots i encounter w ease.and the build quality on these is just flat out perfect. i never thought i could see a tool that functions at a level these do, as well as have the looks and style to match.these are like (just like another high point for german engineers) a sleek sports car fresh on center platform at debut.i mean ive never had a set specific cleanup kit for a single tool in my life before, (usually prefer the opposite n to let em wear their grit n grime), but here we are as i keep a fresh mini wipe to use to get any shmutz off after use.and im not embarrassed to say that in the least lol.if there’s any Knipex hand tool put there you’ve always wanted, but felt u couldn’t justify the higher cost for it; do yourself a favor and stop wasting precious time that you could have spent raving about these amazing tools.youll be so mad at yourself for waiting so long once you hold them in your hands lol.(this purchase was my first ever for Knipex, and i got 3 items this time and each one is the best version of that particular tool ive ever seen/used. some are even better than multiple tools at easch of their different types of tools lol.)and just so its clear,its pronounced::’KUH-nip-EX’•not ‘NIPP-ex’• or ‘nigh-PEX’•

These are my go to pliers, absolutely the best and most used pliers/wrench in my extensive kit! Whenever I have a bolt/nut to turn or need to really strongly grasp something small I start with my Knipex Cobras, specifically my 7 1/4” (180mm), because 99 times out of 100 it’ll get the job done quickly. Whether I have a small part like a stuck cotter pin to remove, or a large 1”+ bolt/nut to turn it can handle most anything! Yes they aren’t the cheapest, but that is because they are quality, they truly are a replacement for many other wrenches and will be with you for life!

I own larger versions of these Cobras, but it’s truly extremely rare that I’ve ever needed to utilize them as the 7-1/4” are so useful and conveniently sized. When affecting a repair on the heavy equipment I maintain I

This is the absolute best pair of plyers I’ve ever owned. I 100% would not be happy if I lost them somewhere. I’d buy a new pair instantly, with no qualms about the price. I plan on picking up a second, larger pair to replace my large pair of Craftsman slip joint pliers.

Very fine adjustments to get the right size. Does not slip out of adjustment when opened like channel locks. Happy to see that no matter the opening size, you will not crush your fingers between the handles.
