Knipex 8702180 7-/14-Inch Cobra Pliers - Comfort Grip

The absolute best water pump pliers ever. Definitely have put a lot of weight/ pressure on them and they just keep gripping. Adjustability is like no other brand… these things are buttery. Basically can’t go wrong with anything from Knipex

Can't go too wrong with KNIPEX. These are small enough to slip into tight spots with a wide grip range and durable enough for good turning torque. These will scar and scrape if they slip on what you're trying to get off so wrap the teeth if you're worried about that. Great quality pliers.

This review is based on all the Knipex pliers for all sizes. Knipex pliers are by far the best ive used. I'm a Plumber and have used a few name brands over the years. These far exceed all the others but at a price. But when your in a profession that requires durability and quality from your tools, these make the grade. I'm actually proud of these tools and want to show them off to the other trades men. I have the regular grip pliers which I first bought and the moved to the comfort grip. The comfort grip is much more comfortable and you get more squeezing power, which with these pliers, you don't need to squeeze much. They don't slip on the teeth or in the locking gear. They are thin enough to get into tight spaces or wrench on thinner fasteners. These truly take the frustration out of banged up knuckles and slipping plier joints. I have 3 different pliers now and will be buying the needle nose pliers next. They are smooth opening and closing, super grip teeth and just engineered wonderfully. My only concern is losing them as they are pricey. I don't usually break tools, I leave them behind on jobs, or my helper leaves them behind. The red and blue handles stand out which is good for visual conformation in my tool bag. I surely wont be lending these out to anyone either. I truly treasure all my Knipex pliers. If your looking for some general pliers as a home owner, these are great but are double to triple the price of competitive brands. If your tradesman looking for high quality, functionality and durability, These will help make you money

I'm a licensed plumber who does a lot of product testing, worked with a lot of different brands on a professional level, and this is by far my favorite variation of water pump pliers or channel locks. The grip is fantastic, the narrow jaws fit where most will not, the jaws stay sharp for longer, the one handed usability is fantastic, they're simply the best. I used them to hold a copper fitting I needed to reuse while I torched it to melt the solder, didn't ruin the temper. I can't advocate these enough, thanks knipex

Great product - So well made but be careful people will borrow them and never return them - I got it as a gift after buying one for myself. I returned it, but you should certainly pay up - you will be very happy

The Best Buy from knipex

Hands down the best pliers I have ever used, they grip everything

I'm absolutely thrilled with the Knipex 8702180 7 1/4-Inch Cobra Pliers! The size is perfect for a wide range of tasks, making it incredibly versatile. The gripping strength is impressive and holds items securely in place. Operating these pliers is a breeze, thanks to their smooth action, and the lightweight design makes them an essential addition to any mobile tool set. When it comes to reliability and quality, Knipex is a brand that never disappoints. These pliers are a definite winner and a must-have in any toolbox.

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!

Good quality self locking water pump pliers. Highly recommended.

Great product I use it everyday for removing door hardware or anything that need griping My second pair Seller is awesome fast delivery thanks

I was a long time user of channel lock brand for this type of tool. But there is no comparison to the Knipex brand. Highly recommend!

Estas pinzas son súper prácticas para cuando algún objeto está muy atorado o cuando requieres aplicar bastante torque, eso si no usar en trabajos delicados porque deja marcas de los dientes, y al estar muy largas obtienes más ventaja mecánica, pero con el contra de que en lugares reducidos no puede ser usada, en cuanto al mango, es muy cómodo, llevo un año con ellas y no se me han oxidado.
