Cobra Water Pump Pliers (5-Inch), Red and Silver

Headquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, Knipex is an independently-owned family enterprise with a rich tradition, specializing in the manufacturing of high-quality pliers. The company's origins can be traced back to 1882, when C. Gustav Putsch established his own forge shop in Cronenberg, now a suburb of Wuppertal. Today, the business is run by the fourth generation of the founding family.

As the world's leading brand in pliers, Knipex places a strong emphasis on the performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools, ensuring they meet the high expectations of professional users. In addition to quality, innovation, and outstanding performance, the company's cornerstones also include sustainable actions and value-guided orientation.

The Knipex Cobra water pump pliers exemplify the brand's commitment to precision and functionality. Equipped with a self-locking mechanism, these pliers eliminate the need for time-consuming test-adjusting to achieve the correct size. Users can simply position the upper jaw to the workpiece, push the button, and close the lower jaw, without the risk of blood blisters often associated with other gripping pliers.

Knipex has designed a built-in pinch guard to prioritize safety and prevent such injuries. The unique self-locking adjustment and induction-hardened gripping teeth ensure the pliers maintain their grip without slipping, allowing for efficient and effortless operation. The Cobra's versatile jaw configuration can grip a wide range of shapes, including flat, round, hex, and square, while also preventing nut burring to avoid damaging pipes, nuts, or bolts.

The newly redesigned adjustment mechanism provides a 30% increase in gripping capacity compared to previous models. A simple push of the patented push-button adjustment maintains the jaw size setting, giving users the correct opening every time, even with one-handed operation in confined spaces.

Knipex's commitment to quality is evident in the materials used. The Cobra water pump pliers are constructed from chrome vanadium electric steel, an innovative high-alloy, oil-tempered steel that ensures longevity. The thin head design allows the pliers to access spaces that other tools cannot, eliminating the need to change tools when working in tight confines.

Knipex's dedication to excellence extends beyond the product itself. The company takes a meticulous approach to the small details, carefully examining 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 relentless pursuit of improvement is driven by the goal of meeting the high expectations of professional users.
