The benefits of working with these water pump pliers are plain to see. They are compact, light and stable, can be positioned on the component quickly and are self-locking, e.g. on pipes and nuts. Due to its compact size, it is particularly suitable for work in confined spaces. Despite this, it achieves a gripping capacity for pipes with a diameter of up to 1 1⁄2 inches or 42 mm and for nuts up to a wrench opening of 36 mm. For pipes, nuts, sleeves, for various kinds of components: the professional user applies the Knipex Cobra quickly and accurately with just one hand movement. The spring-loaded hinge bolt locks securely into place without adjusting inadvertently. Thanks to the 18-fold fine adjustment, the Knipex Cobra 87 01 180 can be ideally adjusted to different sizes of the component. This fine adjustment also ensures that the user is able to find a hand-friendly gripping position for every grip width. Tough and strong 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. Self-locking mechanism ensures a high degree of efficiency 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. Short overview Has self-locking grip on pipes and nuts Big quality in a compact format: only 180 mm long Grip width up to a wrench opening of 36 mm / 1 1⁄2 inches for pipes, with low weight (170 g) 18-fold fine adjustment for fast adjustment to different sizes of component For turning, pulling, gripping, holding and screwing Gripping teeth induction hardened to approx. 61 HRC for secure hold and long service life Grips pipes, nuts and flat, round and angular components High level of user comfort due to constant hand-friendly gripping position resulting from fine adjustment Production in accordance with the highest standards for optimal work results and a long service life Sits firmly in the hand thanks to non-slip handles Chrome vanadium electric steel, forged, oil hardened Knipex Cobra: several manufacturing steps for high tool quality We forge the Knipex Cobra from chrome vanadium steel, and use a multiple stage hardening process to give it the ideal balance between hardness and toughness. This makes it extremely durable. To achieve a lasting secure β€œbite” on the work component, we use high-frequency current to bring the gripping teeth to a hardness of approx. 61 HRC. Professional users expect a tool quality that will last for many hard years of work. We develop and manufacture our pliers for the most demanding users imaginable: for craftsmen. Every pair of pliers from Knipex is manufactured to the highest standards using the best materials. A purchase for many years of use during assembly work, on the building site, in production and in the workshop. Convenient and fast: fine adjustment at the touch of a button. Fast and accurate adjustment directly on the component. Self-locking effect due to teeth offset against the direction of rotation: firm hold of the component even under heavy loads. Has a self-locking grip on various sizes of flat, round and angular components. Review: Nippex is quality - By far the best make of grips ive ever owned Review: Expertly crafted - 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. ## Features - Push the button for adjustment on the workpiece - Fine adjustment for optimum adaptation to different sizes of workpieces and a comfortable handle width - Self-locking on pipes and nuts: no slipping on the workpiece and low handforce required - Gripping surfaces with special hardened teeth, teeth hardness approx. 61 HRC: high wear resistance and stable gripping - Box-joint design for high stability due to double guide ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000X4PU26 | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,677 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 9 in Tongue-and-Groove Pliers | | Brand | KNIPEX | | Colour | Black | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 7,718 Reviews | | Cutting Width | 1.5 Inches | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04003773012016, 04003773022015 | | Grip Type | Padded | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Handle material | Plastic | | Included Components | Components Included | | Item Dimensions L x W | 18.3L x 4.5W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Water pump tongs COBRA 180mm | | Item Weight | 179 g | | Item weight | 179 g | | Manufacturer | KNIPEX | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | 87 01 180 | | Part Number | 8701180 | | Product dimensions | 18.3L x 4.5W centimetres | | Set Name | New Generation KNIPEX Cobra | | Specification Met | DIN ISO 8976 | | UPC | 640026839163 720698910794 043985291995 636123631281 640024973715 724137402093 043966493448 043099587076 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Usage | Handling pipes and nuts, self-locking, adjusting to different sizes, providing stability, preventing finger pinching. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KNIPEX - **Colour:** Black - **Cutting width:** 1.5 Inches - **Grip type:** Padded - **Handle material:** Plastic - **Item weight:** 0.4 Pounds - **Material:** Plastic - **Product dimensions:** 18.3L x 4.5W centimetres - **Specification met:** DIN ISO 8976 ## Images ![Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers with Non-Slip Plastic Coating 180 mm, 87 01 180 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tK6ynpkVL.jpg) ![Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers with Non-Slip Plastic Coating 180 mm, 87 01 180 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lOG9PgBGL.jpg) ![Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers with Non-Slip Plastic Coating 180 mm, 87 01 180 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61f4CGfrGiL.jpg) ![Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers with Non-Slip Plastic Coating 180 mm, 87 01 180 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610QbEaDmyL.jpg) ![Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers with Non-Slip Plastic Coating 180 mm, 87 01 180 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Z1mLToQAL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the warranty** A: Knipex offers a lifetime limited warranty covering workmanship and materials. **Q: How much the jaw open ?** A: Mine opens 2 5/8".
