Cobra XS Mini Water Pump Pliers, 100 mm, Nuts to 24 mm, Pipes to 28 mm, Self-Locking, Fine Adjustment by Button Push, EDC, 87 00 100

These are great for every day carry or for the tool kit of a motorcycle, which is where I keep them. They are well made and incredibly sturdy for their size. The jaws are accurate and can even function as tweezers. They are also a perfect size for emergency dental extractions (probably!). They offer a surprising amount of grip and leverage even on quite large bolts, and will bite into smooth metal rods or wire extremely firmly.

Wanted some small pliers to enable me to undo valve stems on my bicycle, that were sticking due to tubeless sealant, following a thumb injury. These are small and fit easily into a saddle bag as part of a tool kit. Cheaper alternatives are out there, but when I can afford it I'll always try to buy quality, and that's what these are. Versatile tool for what our American cousins call an EDC.

I am a Knipex fanboi, and have been gradually replacing my tools (mainly bike servicing, a little car and household maintenance including electricals) . If you have seen Knipex Pliers in operation these XS are the same high quality, great pliers, that serve double duty as shifting spanners though they are not as nice as the Knipex Pliers Wrench (100 mm 86 04 100) as the serrated jaws will mar the bolt (but they are much cheaper). As pliers I find them more effective as the jaws are parallel, the harder you pull the tighter they grip. Though the cobra type (serrated teeth) are ideal for any thing you need to dig into for grip if you don't mind scoring the surface but need that extra purchase/torque otherwise go for the other Wrench over the Cobra . This one is tiny, it feels high quality, robust, and can do jobs I wouldn't dare use a similar sized tool from the typical UK household brands. Get it on sale and the price premium isn't that bad. If you get fanboi-ish don't bother with every size, they are so versatile you can skip a few sizes and be able to do any job requiring pliers, this XS one last, for the fiddly jobs in tight spaces or when you want to finish of an EDC tool bag. And remember when you're justifying the cost to yourself take into account the speed and lack of frustration on getting a job done.

Great little wrench. For a pocket size tool it has to be a must. Compact but very usable. Love it.

Bought for bike repair kit, as very compact. Not used for any tought jobs yet - fingers crossed the manufacuring quality will mean they do not fail just when they are needed the most.

Instead of carrying a larger multi-tool (like a leatherman) I have chosen to buy a decent pocket knife and a selection of tools to keep in my pocket. This has worked out cheaper and has left me with better quality items overall. I chose these Knipex pliers to keep in my pocket and they are an excellent choice. They fit in my jeans 5th pocket, with just the tips of the handles poking out. The mouth of this is easy to adjust and it has a wide range of adjustment. The tip is precisie enough to grip smaller items and adjusts wide enough to grip nuts and bolts with ease. The handle may be a little too small to get adequate torque at times, but as long as you are aware of what this is and what it is inteneded for, you should have no complaints. These are well machined, with grip knurling and there are no sharp edges on the teeth etc. These are an excellent everyday carry item and would suppliment a pocket knife well.

I knew the dimensions but still surprised how small these are. Very sturdy and quality feels good. 100 jobs you didn't know you needed help with. If you constantly doing odd jobs or diy these are great tool to carry on you. But sod's law will mean you don't have them on you when really needed.

These are very popular for EDC and preparedness. And for good reason. Paired with a Swiss army knife this is a good combo.

Dobrze wykonany produkt. Szczypce dobrze spasowane i nie rozjeżdżają się. Moja dłoń to mała łapka w rozmiarze nr 8, więc wygodnie mi się nimi operuje, ale mimo to kupie sobie też większy model.

Mi ha salvato in parecchie situazioni scomode. Favolosa.

So strong and yet so light. Will disappear in your pocket. A bit pricey. Excellent if offered around ₹1000/-.
