The Knipex Cobra Pliers & Plier Wrench Set (87 01 250) is an essential toolkit for professional tradespeople and serious DIY enthusiasts who require high-precision gripping and turning capabilities. This set excels by combining the aggressive, self-locking grip of Cobra water pump pliers with the smooth, surface-protecting parallel jaws of the plier wrench. While these tools offer unmatched versatility for handling both rough pipes and delicate chrome fittings, users should note that they require a brief learning curve to master the quick-adjust mechanisms compared to traditional slip-joint pliers.

No, you should never force the tool beyond its maximum jaw capacity, as this can damage the adjustment mechanism.
The standard set provided is not VDE-rated for electrical work; do not use these on live circuits.
Simply press the adjustment button, slide the jaw to the desired size, and release the button to lock it into place.
No, these are precision gripping tools and using them as a hammer will damage the joint and void the performance integrity.
The Cobra pliers have aggressive teeth for gripping round pipes, while the Plier Wrench has smooth, flat jaws for tightening finished bolts and nuts.
Clean the joint area with a degreaser, dry thoroughly, and apply a light machine oil to the spring and pivot point.
Ensure the jaw teeth are clean and free of grease or debris, and confirm the tool is adjusted to the smallest possible setting for the pipe diameter.
These tools do not require assembly. To maintain optimal performance, keep the pivot points clean and lubricated with a light machine oil periodically. If the pliers become stiff, blow out any debris from the jaw teeth using compressed air and apply a drop of oil to the joint mechanism. To ensure longevity, avoid using these pliers as a hammer and store them in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion. Always select the correct size setting for the workpiece to prevent excessive strain on the adjustment pin.
