KNIPEX 87 01 180, 7-1/4 in. Cobra® Water Pump Pliers, Capacity 1-1/2 in.

I wanted compact pliers for my toolkit, but also something durable. These are the ones. Everything about them is quality. The steel has good hardness and does not deform or dent on Gr8 bolts for example. Even at this small size, has a good 1.5" capacity and it is fully useful at the max opening. Hinge is tight, no slop. Adjusting is easy, can be done one handed (although two is easier). Zero complaints.

My experience with these KNIPEX Cobra pliers has been pretty good. i’ve used them at work to tighten some tricky fittings and they grip really well. the 7 1/4 inch size feels just right for most jobs and the red color makes them easy to spot in my toolbox. they feel sturdy and the handle design is comfortable, which helps when you're working on longer tasks. definitely a helpful tool to have around if you often deal with plumbing or repairs. 😊

I work in the draft beer distribution industry as a draft beer technician and I have used these for years to take apart beer faucets, and couplers and they are fantastic. I looked for these on Amazon and found a great price on them and bought 2. We usually go through a company that sells draft beer equipment and supplies but the price they charge on some things is crazy high plus THAT company charges huge shipping costs, not Amazon. They are strong made material, that have a great feel in your hand when using them in a cold or wet environment inside of restaurant walk in coolers and don’t have a feeling that they will slip. They have an ease to adjust to the size you need whether using it for small items like pins, or larger items like bolts or nuts so they are really versatile for any application. They are compact to fit in your pocket and just the right size to not feel tiny when in your hands. I highly recommend buying one pair to use for every day tasks, and a second one to use for specialized things. Whether in your work toolbox, a car for emergency purposes, or at home for whatever you may need this for, buy a pair today

Best knipex pliers made work great have several sizes now a real go to grab.

Good quality and works well

I'll add to the pile of 5/5 reviews for these. They are great quality and super-useful tools. I've got Channel Locks, which are OK, but these ones are the best in class. Smooth, strong, and bite-tightly. I've got the minis, the 7 inch, and the 10 inch, and also the giant 20+ inch ones. They all perform very well. They punch way outside of their weight class for most tasks. Not cheap, but buy once and cry once. If you have to pick a place to start, start with the 180s or 250s (7 or 10 inch), and go from there. It's probably worth getting a kit of three sizes though. You won't regret it. Knipex makes great tools overall, and these, their various cutters and pliers, the electrician's tool, and the pliers wrench are all awesome.

K-NIP-EX please no more nipex, these are too freaking awesome for people to mispronounce their name! Best pliers on the market!

These are my go to pliers, absolutely the best and most used pliers/wrench in my extensive kit! Whenever I have a bolt/nut to turn or need to really strongly grasp something small I start with my Knipex Cobras, specifically my 7 1/4” (180mm), because 99 times out of 100 it’ll get the job done quickly. Whether I have a small part like a stuck cotter pin to remove, or a large 1”+ bolt/nut to turn it can handle most anything! Yes they aren’t the cheapest, but that is because they are quality, they truly are a replacement for many other wrenches and will be with you for life! There are imitators who’ve copied the design, some not too badly (I’ve even purchased a couple to try), but even the best of the competition pales in comparison! I own larger versions of these Cobras, but it’s truly extremely rare that I’ve ever needed to utilize them as the 7-1/4” are so useful and conveniently sized. When affecting a repair on the heavy equipment I maintain I usually have these in my back pocket (literally) they fit perfectly and comfortably and are so useful. If you’re looking for a pair of pliers then THESE ARE THE PLIERS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR! If you’re looking for a gift for a wrencher/gear-head then those are perfect as they will be found extremely useful and will last a lifetime which is something that cannot be said about most tools. This is the kind of tool your future grandchildren will still find extremely useful and perhaps the most cherished hand-me-down/memento they’ll ever receive, even if you’re currently just a kid yourself!

Knipex borgar för kvalitet!

These are great water pump pliers, the right size for use around the house. The grips have a nice non-slip texture. Knipex is known for its quality tools, but the finish could be a little bit better (the forging is excellent, but the grinding is a bit uneven). Despite this, the insides of the jaws are well made and finished.

Awesome product as always

Boyutu çantanızda taşımaya çok elverişli, sadece somun sıkıp gevşetmek değil, ceviz kırmak, birşeyleri eğip bükmek hatta ağız yapısı o kadar hassas ki cımbız gibi elonize batan kıymığı bile çıkartır. Yuvarlak Allen tipi her boyutta vidayı güven ile açar.

I made the mistake and fell for a set of cheap noname pliers. But working with them was horrible. Don't be as stupid as I was. "Who is buying cheap buys double". Buy the best and work will be fun like driving a Porsche.
