Knipex 8701400 Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers 400mm
Knipex 8701400 Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers 400 mm is an extra-heavy-duty, professional-grade gripping tool designed for securely gripping, holding, turning, pulling, and fastening very large pipes, nuts, and fittings with maximum efficiency and control. As part of the Cobra XL series, its extended 400 mm length delivers exceptional leverage and an extremely high gripping capacity, making it ideal for the most demanding plumbing, industrial, mechanical, and construction applications.
Featuring Knipex’s proven push-button fine adjustment system, the pliers allow fast, precise adjustment directly on the workpiece. With multiple finely stepped adjustment positions, the tool adapts instantly to a wide range of dimensions, ensuring a secure, slip-free grip even on large-diameter pipes and fittings. The self-locking jaw geometry on pipes and nuts significantly reduces the force required by the user, enabling safe, controlled, and fatigue-free operation under heavy load.
Manufactured from high-quality chrome-vanadium electric steel, the Cobra XL pliers are forged and oil-hardened to ensure exceptional durability and long service life. The hardened gripping teeth (approx. 61 HRC) provide outstanding wear resistance and an aggressive, reliable bite, even on smooth or rounded surfaces. The robust box-joint construction offers maximum stability and strength while preventing lateral play during extreme heavy-duty applications.
Thanks to its 400 mm length and superior leverage, the Knipex 8701400 delivers an exceptionally high gripping capacity, making it the ideal choice for large pipes, industrial fittings, and heavy fasteners commonly encountered in commercial installations, industrial maintenance, and construction sites. The non-slip plastic-coated ergonomic handles ensure excellent comfort, control, and safety, even during prolonged and high-force use.
Trusted by professionals worldwide, the Knipex 8701400 Cobra XL stands for uncompromising gripping power, precision, reliability, and long-term performance in the toughest professional environments.
