KNIPEXCobra® XS Pipe Wrench and Water Pump Pliers grey atramentized, embossed, rough surface 100 mm (self-service card/blister) 87 00 100 BK

I’ve had the 5 inch Cobra before, but this 4 inch one fits all kinds of wallets and edc pouches much better. Yes if you have normal to large hands, you lose some grip strength afforded by the 5 inch version. But it so much more portable. The German quality is amazing. Everything from fit and finish to alignment is excellent. If you don’t need a needle nose from a multitool, this is a way better tool. It’s forged! This one differs in that there’s no locking button like the bigger brothers but that makes it unique and more one hand-able. Not very versatile like a multitool, but if you need a quality pocket pliers, this is it.

I purchased this item because I had seen a video on social media of it being used. I bit the bullet and ordered one. It is just as handy and useful as I have seen anywhere. It has the ability to bite and hold while only applying pressure to the top arm. It is so small I put it in my pocket and forgot it was there. It fits your hand so well for being this small. I took it out of my pocket and left the house. When I arrived at my destination, I had a need for a small pair of pliers..Do not leave them behind. They are light-weight, sturdy and extremely useful.

These pliers are surprisingly functional for many tasks. The jaws open very wide which allows them to grip large objects. I’ve got other pliers that fit in the palm of your hands like these, but I find them less functional overall because of the limited width they can grasp. The jaws of these pliers are unique because they have differs depths in the teeth. The tip is fine point and the back have more openings for grasping bolts. These pliers are easy to adjust, high quality and strength. And so dang compact I put them in my pant pocket and carry them like a pocket knife.

I carry these every day at work.

Best little pliers to toss in a pocket. Carry like a pocket knife and do more than multi-tool pliers.

If you’ve been eyeing these you probably got caught up with the EDC craze. The tool is well made and will last a lifetime if you don’t abuse them. They’re obviously not meant for hard use but will hold up well for small jobs.Now i gave them 4 stars because honestly they are tiny. I knew this going in, but once you have them in hand you realize they are way too small for practical use. Because of the small size the lack of leverage becomes apparent quickly.These are for someone who appreciates the SAK plier or leatherman plier but wants an upgrade. Still small enough to carry in a pocket but will find way more usefulness from the size compared to the SAK plier or leatherman.But honestly, if you’re someone who always has tools in the car, garage, cabinet…you’ll reach for those instead of this plier. But if you’re someone who’s out and about and needs a tool in the pocket at all times, these will work when you don’t need or have a regular sized tool.Still would recommend them just to fulfill my edc fix, but doubt I’d replace them if they ever get lost.

These things punch above their weight. The more torque you apply the tighter it grips. This means you don't need grip strength to squeeze them you just have to push or pull them in the right direction.Note that just because they're small does not make them needle nose. They don't have that precision. But for nuts and bolts they are great

Small but mighty. Very handy. Great for pocket carry. Impressive jaw opening.
