No more time-consuming test-adjusting to achieve the correct size. With the extra-slim Knipex Cobra water pump pliers (model 87 51 250), you can simply position the upper jaw to the workpiece, push the button, and close the lower jaw. And you'll also be able to say goodbye to blood blisters you get with other gripping pliers. With safety its first priority, Knipex has designed a built-in pinch guard that prevents blood blisters on your hand. This extra-slim model with its long, narrow jaws is ideal for service and maintenance, equipment repair, automotive, and general industry applications. You'll get good access to the workpiece due to the very slim construction of the head and joint area. The unique self-locking adjustment and induction hardened gripping teeth means that once it's set, it stays. There's no slipping and no need to waste strength squeezing the pliers — ensuring operator safety and more efficient work. Cobra's unique jaw configuration can grip any shape object — flat, round, hex, or square. It also eliminates nut burring to avoid stripping pipes, nuts, or bolts. Additionally, the Cobra's newly redesigned adjustment provides 30 percent more gripping capacity than previous models. A simple push of the patented push button adjustment maintains jaw size setting and gives you the correct size opening every time. Just position the upper jaw to the workpiece, push the button, adjust the opening, and close the lower jaw. And it's easily done with just one hand for trouble-free operation in confined spaces.

Quality in Every Detail ----------------------- Sometimes we give our pliers a really hard time. We try to destroy them to find out what makes them good and long lasting. Because we don't want to leave anything to chance, we take a long, careful look. The steel Knipex uses is precisely hardened with a maximum of 0.8 percent carbon and defined parts of chromium and vanadium, guaranteeing optimum cutting performance and service life — even though it requires special production and costs a bit more. But our high product demands require this. The rivet of our high-leverage diagonal cutter also has to stand up to a lot of stress. That's why we literally give it backup: we forge it straight onto the pliers. This means extra effort as we have to precision mill the rivet to a few hundredth millimeters. But satisfied users are worth this effort. Knipex also looks closely at the small details. The angles, the sharpness, the hardness, the toughness of the cutting edges. The precision and smooth movement of the joint. The handle design and the finish. We keep reviewing these subjects, we research, we test, and we improve our pliers. About Knipex ------------ Headquartered in Wuppertal, Germany, Knipex is an independently owned family enterprise steeped in tradition and specializing in the manufacturing of high-quality pliers. It all started back in 1882 when C. Gustav Putsch set up his own forge shop in Cronenberg (now a suburb of Wuppertal), and the company is now run by a fourth generation of that family. The world's leading brand in pliers today, Knipex is focused on the performance, service life, and ergonomics of its tools in order to meet the high expectations of professional users. 87 51 250 10-Inch Cobra Extra Slim Pliers ----------------------------------------- At a Glance ----------- * Good access to the workpiece due to very slim construction of head and joint area * Long narrow jaws reach into places other pliers can't * Adjustment at the touch of a button directly on the workpiece * Fast, firm adjustment directly on the workpiece * Self-locking on pipes and nuts: no slipping on the workpiece and low hand force required * Gripping surfaces with special hardened teeth * Pinch guard prevents operators' fingers from being pinched * Chrome vanadium heavy-duty steel, forged and oil-hardened See larger image ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/G/01/th/us/knipex/knipex-B000X4KPDK-8751250-tool-lg.jpg ) .
