KNIPEX Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers 180 mm, 87 01 180

I did plenty of research and reading when deciding on a pair of adjustable grips/pliers, as I wanted a pair I could rely on again and again and keep for life. I'm glad I chose the Knipex and paid out for quality. Whilst they are not the cheapest set of pliers, their craftsmanship is superb. They are a breeze to use, machined well and I expect them to last a lifetime if cared for properly. The button adjustment is very effective in locking the pliers, yet is easy to use and adjust as necessary. The multi angle jaws provide good grip on a multitude of surfaces and the handles are just right for me. The coating is a thin and very slightly spongy material, than feels comfortable in bare hands and not too big when wearing gloves. I prefer slim handles like this, rather than excessively padded ones as it is easier to get access into tight spaces and it feels easier to transfer turning force. Would definitely buy Knipex again if/when I need another size.

By far the best make of grips ive ever owned

Only buy good quality tools these days and Knipex are up there with the best. Expect them to see me out. Worth paying extra for.

I purchased this for my work tool bag as I’m a mobile engineer there a nice small size nimble and lightweight even, a few of my colleagues have them, they are on the slightly expensive side for being the smaller jaws but you are paying for the reliability of the brand knowing its Knipex, you know its made well, made to work and last, so far, they are comfy in the hands to hold and a nice vibrant colour if you were to drop them to find them easily.

The best pliers I have. I’ve used many different types over the years. These are the best size and excellent quality. I have a few other cobra sizes. These are the best for every day use. The teeth grip like nothing else and never slip. Quick and easy to use. A must for every toolbox

Super tools

Great quality tool , as always from Knipex . Arrived on time, be aware that my order was delivered in bubble wrap with no retail packaging….

Perfect size

Als Handwerker nutze ich das Produkt sowohl in der Werkstatt als auch direkt auf der Baustelle – und es überzeugt mich in allen Punkten: 🔹 Verarbeitung: Sehr robust und stabil, hält auch rauem Baustellenalltag problemlos stand. 🔹 Funktion: Tut genau, was es soll – zuverlässig, ohne Aussetzer und ohne Schnickschnack. 🔹 Handhabung: Einfach zu benutzen, liegt gut in der Hand und spart Zeit im Arbeitsablauf. 🔹 Alltagstauglichkeit: Sowohl im Dauerbetrieb in der Werkstatt als auch draußen auf der Baustelle absolut verlässlich. 🔹 Preis-Leistung: Für die gebotene Qualität mehr als fair – man merkt, dass es für Profis gemacht ist. Fazit: Ein Werkzeug, auf das man sich jederzeit verlassen kann. Genau das, was man im Handwerk braucht. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

These are great water pump pliers, the right size for use around the house. The grips have a nice non-slip texture. Knipex is known for its quality tools, but the finish could be a little bit better (the forging is excellent, but the grinding is a bit uneven). Despite this, the insides of the jaws are well made and finished.

Awesome product as always

These pliers are an absolute gem! The grip strength is phenomenal, locking onto nuts and bolts with unwavering precision. The finish is top-notch, sleek, and durable, resisting wear even after heavy use. Adjusting the jaw is a breeze with the smooth, push-button mechanism, making it effortless to switch between tasks. This size is perfect for most jobs—versatile enough for plumbing, automotive, or home repairs. I’ve been so impressed that I’ve bought multiple pairs over the years, and they never fail to deliver! I’ve even started buying these as Christmas gifts to friends because I use mine so much. Highly recommend these pliers to anyone needing a reliable, high-quality tool.

Boyutu çantanızda taşımaya çok elverişli, sadece somun sıkıp gevşetmek değil, ceviz kırmak, birşeyleri eğip bükmek hatta ağız yapısı o kadar hassas ki cımbız gibi elonize batan kıymığı bile çıkartır. Yuvarlak Allen tipi her boyutta vidayı güven ile açar.
