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
