Knipex 8701180 Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers 180mm is a professional-grade gripping tool designed for securely gripping, holding, turning, pulling, and fastening pipes, nuts, and fittings with maximum efficiency and control. Engineered for demanding daily professional use, it combines powerful gripping performance, precise adjustment, and outstanding durability in a compact yet highly capable design.
The pliers feature Knipex’s push-button fine adjustment system, allowing fast and precise adjustment directly on the workpiece. With multiple adjustment positions, the tool adapts instantly to different sizes, ensuring a secure, slip-free grip. The self-locking mechanism on pipes and nuts significantly reduces the force required by the user, enabling safe, controlled, and fatigue-free operation even under high load.
Manufactured from high-quality chrome-vanadium electric steel, the Cobra pliers are forged and oil-hardened to ensure long service life. The hardened gripping teeth (approx. 61 HRC) provide excellent wear resistance and a reliable bite, even on smooth or rounded surfaces. The robust box-joint construction delivers exceptional stability and strength while preventing lateral play during heavy-duty applications.
With its 180 mm length, the Knipex 8701180 offers increased leverage and gripping capacity while still remaining compact enough for controlled work. It is ideal for plumbing installations, mechanical assemblies, maintenance tasks, and general workshop applications. The ergonomic, non-slip plastic-coated handles provide excellent comfort and control, supporting safe and precise handling during prolonged use.
