Product Information

Full details

The Knipex Cobra 100mm Water Pump Pliers are designed for precision technicians, hobbyists, and professionals who require a high-leverage, compact gripping tool for tight spaces. Their primary benefit is an exceptional self-locking grip on pipes and nuts, providing significant force without slippage. A notable caveat is that due to their 100mm size, they are not intended for heavy-duty industrial pipe work, but rather for delicate or confined mechanical tasks.

FAQs

Can these be used on electrical work?

These pliers are not VDE-insulated and should not be used on live electrical circuits.

What is the maximum jaw opening?

The 100mm model is designed for small components and typically handles nuts up to 21mm in diameter.

How do I clean the teeth?

Use a stiff wire brush to remove debris from the induction-hardened teeth to ensure they maintain their grip.

Are these made in Germany?

Yes, Knipex tools are manufactured in Germany.

Will these mar the surface of my work?

Because the teeth are designed for a high-friction grip, they may leave slight marks on soft metals. For polished surfaces, consider using protective tape.

Troubleshooting

The adjustment button feels stiff.

Clear any debris or metal shavings from the adjustment track and apply a small drop of light machine oil.

The pliers slip during use.

Ensure the jaw is correctly positioned on the object and check that the adjustment teeth are properly seated in the selected groove.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Knipex Cobra pliers in peak condition, store them in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the steel. Because of the polished finish, they are resistant to rust, but wiping them down with a light machine oil after use in humid conditions is recommended. To adjust the pliers, simply press the button on the side to slide the jaw, or open the handles fully to reset the positioning. No complex setup is required, and they meet the DIN ISO 8976 safety standard, ensuring they are safe for use in professional mechanical environments.
