KNIPEX Tools - Cobra Water Pump Pliers, Multi-Component (8702180)

This review is based on all the Knipex pliers for all sizes. Knipex pliers are by far the best ive used. I'm a Plumber and have used a few name brands over the years. These far exceed all the others but at a price. But when your in a profession that requires durability and quality from your tools, these make the grade. I'm actually proud of these tools and want to show them off to the other trades men. I have the regular grip pliers which I first bought and the moved to the comfort grip. The comfort grip is much more comfortable and you get more squeezing power, which with these pliers, you don't need to squeeze much. They don't slip on the teeth or in the locking gear. They are thin enough to get into tight spaces or wrench on thinner fasteners. These truly take the frustration out of banged up knuckles and slipping plier joints. I have 3 different pliers now and will be buying the needle nose pliers next. They are smooth opening and closing, super grip teeth and just engineered wonderfully. My only concern is losing them as they are pricey. I don't usually break tools, I leave them behind on jobs, or my helper leaves them behind. The red and blue handles stand out which is good for visual conformation in my tool bag. I surely wont be lending these out to anyone either. I truly treasure all my Knipex pliers. If your looking for some general pliers as a home owner, these are great but are double to triple the price of competitive brands. If your tradesman looking for high quality, functionality and durability, These will help make you money

This is an excellent multipurpose pair of pliers which would make a good addition to just about any toolbox or homeowner's tool collection. Most people are probably familiar with slip joint or Channellock adjustable pliers, and while those designs are useful, the Knipex Cobras are, at least in my opinion, a direct upgrade. The push button has a replaceable spring to maintain tension, and allows for much finer adjustment than Channellock pliers. They're very easy to adjust to the correct size - just position the jaws on the thing you want to grip, push the button, and slide the jaws together. The grips provide a lot of leverage and the jaws are aggressively serrated, so once you've clamped on to something you're going to have a very secure grip. The jaws also feature an interesting shape (similar to that of a wrench) which allows them to grip rounded off or rusted nuts or bolts very well. The comfort grip version of this pair of pliers provides a wider surface for your hands, and the red forms a rigid but grippy surface while the blue is softer and more rubbery. I personally prefer the comfort grip style, although if you expect to find yourself in tight places with these quite often, the regular dipped style grips are a bit more narrow. Knipex also has an excellent warranty, so if you break these pliers with regular use they'll replace them for you. If it isn't obvious, I love these pliers and I think you will too!

Mooi formaat! Handig om ook wasmachine en meubels mee af te stellen gezien de smalle dikte.
