Knipex VDE Cobra Hightech Water Pump Pliers with large grip width (up to a wrench opening of 46 mm / pipes up to 2 inches) with low weight (335 g) The Knipex 8726250SB (carded) Cobra Hightech Water Pump Pliers are light, stable and are self-locking on pipes and nuts. The chrome-plated surface gives them particularly good rust protection. For pipes, nuts, sleeves, for various kinds of components: apply the Knipex Cobra quickly and accurately with just one hand movement. The Cobra VDE is opened away from the component simply by a touch of a button. Place the upper handle on the component and adjust by sliding closed using the insulated handle of the pliers. The spring-loaded hinge bolt locks securely into place without adjusting inadvertently. The Knipex Cobra is further stabilised by the box joint design. Unlike pliers with mounted joints, no tilting forces arise when under strain. The handles stabilise each other in the joint. The Knipex Cobra clamps onto the component securely by itself thanks to the jaw geometry developed by Knipex. This means the user can put all energy into the desired movement without pressing the pliers handle together - and thus without energy loss: round components can be turned, bolted connections tightened and released.
