No more time-consuming test-adjusting to achieve the correct
size. With the Knipex Cobra XXL water pump pliers, you can simply
position the upper jaw to the workpiece, push the button, and
close the lower jaw. The 16-inch Cobra XXL (model 87 01 560)
offers the power and comfort of water pump pliers while being
lighter in weight and having a greater gripping capacity than
comparable pipe wrenches. It can grip a 4-1/2-inch pipe coupling
and weighs as much as 2-inch pipe wrenches, which have a much
lower gripping capacity. And its 22-inch size makes it the
biggest pliers around.
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. 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. 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.

Quality in Every Detail
-----------------------
Sometimes 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 Knipex

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
