Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers grey atramentized, with non-slip plastic coating 125 mm (self-service card/blister) 87 01 125 SB

These are amazing and I love them! Great quality and durability! Also I carry them in the front pocket of my jeans because they are so small. Small but the jaws open up very wide. Extremely useful. Well worth the money. I am definitely buying multiple sizes of these pliers

This started for me when I went on line to replace my 4 1/2" Channel Locks, which had walked off on me, as small, useful tools have a habit of doing. I ordered a pair for about eight bucks, and looked forward to their arrival. Channellocks are the poster child for this type of tool, to the extent that I use the term generically in place of "water pump pliers". I don't really care about the dilution of the trademark.Anyway, Amazon took the liberty of also showing me some 5" Tekton channellocks, for about five and a half bucks, and these Knipex Cobras for something north of thirty bucks. It was easy to pull the trigger for five bucks worth of Tekton channellocks to see what they were about. I had to mull it over for a couple of days, take a deep breath and swallow hard before ordering the Knipex . I am familiar with Knipex channellocks, and I know what they can do, but I was curious to see if they merited a 400 to 600 per cent premium over the garden variety offerings.The branded ChannelLocks are noticeably smaller than the others, so they hide better in the pocket and will fit into smaller places. Their teeth are pretty aggressive and grip well, less likely to slip on a tight fastener.The Tektons are well-enough made, still pocketable, but a little clunky compared to the blue-handled ChannelLocks. They are more noticeable in the pocket, but will do about 95 percent of the tasks you are likely to encounter. I would probably spend the extra three bucks to get the added convenience of the smaller blue pliers, but the red ones would suit me just fine day-to-day.The Knipex do two things better than the other two examples. The teeth are sharper, and grip better. The jaws have cut outs angled at 120 degrees, the better to fit the flats of a hex fastener. These are the pliers I want to have in my motorcycle tool kit for a trip into the desert or the mountains of Mexico. They will give you the best chance at dealing with a difficult problem in a remote location. If you are a hundred miles from help, the small advantage in function can mean the difference between riding out in an afternoon or walking for days.

These things are some damn handy. Well worth the money, carry mine everywhere. Also great for tighting your coworkers soda bottle to where they cant get the lid off.

Very small but feels very high quality. Despite the size it can be adjusted to grip something up to about 2” thick. Seems like very solid quality steel which is critical for such a small tool. I can see it working for a variety of jobs not just small nuts and such. My favorite feature is the button to adjust the size so it locks in the position you've set which is super nice.

Super nice. They work great to carry in your pocket.

I got the 6 inch for EDC carry for work. It’s so nice, and saved me so many times of reaching for my big channellocks in my tool bag. I tried out the 4 inch and that one is a great as well because of its thin profile. But I think the 5 inch is just the right size that tackle a wide variety of tasks yet small enough to carry without feeling heavy and uncomfortable. I can’t see myself using any other type of pump pliers from now on.Side note: Not sure why it’s not black as shown from the stock photo, but I don’t mind it cuz I actually like the gun metal color.But something I also noticed was the length of the red insulation handle isn’t the same as the one in stock photo. Seems questionable. Other than that, great tool.

My favorite pump pliers. I also have the alligator version but vastly prefer this style for ease of use and the fact it holds its position.

Extremely strong and fits in shirt pocket

Small but very capable. Wrapped handles are definitely a plus.

Just get one.... Or 2... Or 3

Got these for a couple of tight jobs and EDC. Honestly, they do majority of what I was doing with larger tools with a smaller footprint. Must haves for EDC and grab and go bags.

​Excelente calidad de fabricación. Su tamaño compacto es justo lo que necesitaba para trabajar con comodidad donde otras no caben.

Ich bin von der kleinen KNIPEX Cobra wirklich begeistert. Sie ist mit 125 mm sehr kompakt, bietet aber trotzdem eine erstaunlich große Greifweite und ist dadurch vielseitig einsetzbar.Die Verarbeitung und Qualität sind, wie von KNIPEX gewohnt, wirklich top. Sie passt problemlos in die Hosentasche und der Griff liegt angenehm und griffig in der Hand.Ich hatte zum Vergleich eine baugleiche, deutlich günstigere Rohr-/Wasserpumpenzange hier. Im direkten Vergleich merkt man bei der KNIPEX einfach die höhere Wertigkeit und die bessere Verarbeitung.Klein, praktisch und hochwertig – klare Kaufempfehlung!
