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

The best channel locks you can find. These are perfect and compact and can work on large pipes/conduits up to 1 1/4” emt. Amazing grip on things and the handle is super comfortable. Great design and easy to use!

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!

I live on a farm and these pliers will fit almost anything. I have 3 pair one in the shop one in my truck and one on the tractor. Shall enough to put in your pocket and adjustable and don't slip.

Good quality
