With the KNIPEX Cobra XXL water pump pliers, you can simply position the upper jaw to the work piece, push the button, and close the lower jaw. The 16 in. Cobra XXL (model 87 01 560) offers the power and comfort of water pump pliers while being lighter in weight and having a greater gripping capacity than comparable pipe wrenches. It can grip a 4-1/2 in. pipe coupling and weighs as much as 2 in. pipe wrenches, which have a much lower gripping capacity. And its 22 in. size makes it the biggest pliers around. 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% more gripping capacity than previous models.

Best gripping pliers on the market

These things are awesome. They complement a pipe wrench well and are great for removing unions and whatnot that a typical pipe wrench would be too wide for. Well worth the $100

They are on the heavy side weight wise but they work great – using on 3 inch compression fittings

Pliers work better than any others I’ve had.

Monster pair of pliers. Works well in place of a pipe wrench in places too tight for a pipe wrench. The push button adjustment is nice

I occaisionally need pipe wrenches in my work. My Rigid 24 inch has too big of a handle to put a cheater pipe on. Also the rigid pipe wrench only opens so far. These pliers open to 4 inches, they are compact and fit easily into my truck toolbox. They fit all my needs.

II believe the Knipex Cobra pliers to be the Best there is in this world. The 22” cobra is a destroyer. So far, I have not come across and fittings that it can’t loosen !
