Knipex Cobra Hightech Water Pump Pliers 180Mm

The Knipex Cobra 87 02 180 SBA with a length of 180 mm is one of the compact models of Cobra water pump pliers from Knipex. The benefits of working with these water pump pliers are plain to see. They are compact light and stable can be positioned on the component quickly and are self-locking e.g. on pipes and nuts. With its plastic-coated grips the Knipex Cobra 87 02 180 sits firmly and comfortably in the hand. Due to its compact size it is particularly suitable for work in confined spaces. Despite this it achieves a gripping capacity for pipes with a diameter of up to 1.5 In. or 42 mm and for nuts up to a wrench opening of 36 mm. For pipes nuts sleeves for various kinds of components: the professional user applies the Knipex Cobra quickly and accurately with just one hand movement. The spring-loaded hinge bolt locks securely into place without adjusting inadvertently. Thanks to the 18-fold fine adjustment the Knipex Cobra 87 02 180 can be ideally adjusted to different sizes of component. This fine adjustment also ensures that the user is able to find a hand-friendly gripping position for every grip width. The Knipex Cobra clamps onto the component securely by itself thanks to the jaw geometry developed by Knipex. This means the user can put all energy into the desired movement without pressing the pliers handle together – and thus without energy loss: round components can be turned bolted connections tightened and released. We forge the Knipex Cobra from chrome vanadium steel and use a multiple stage hardening process to give it the ideal balance between hardness and toughness.
