KNIPEX Tools Cobra Water Pump Pliers, 7 1/4 inch, red

These pliers are an absolute gem! The grip strength is phenomenal, locking onto nuts and bolts with unwavering precision. The finish is top-notch, sleek, and durable, resisting wear even after heavy use. Adjusting the jaw is a breeze with the smooth, push-button mechanism, making it effortless to switch between tasks. This size is perfect for most jobs—versatile enough for plumbing, automotive, or home repairs. I’ve been so impressed that I’ve bought multiple pairs over the years, and they never fail to deliver! I’ve even started buying these as Christmas gifts to friends because I use mine so much. Highly recommend these pliers to anyone needing a reliable, high-quality tool.

Best pliers I have bought so far.

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.

Great product have multiple pairs in different sizes

Exactly as described and pictured. My husband wanted these and specifically this brand. Says they are a great quality and hold up a long time.

These are the perfect-size little ones if you are looking at the 6" and thinking...."which set went missing", don't get the 6" they are tiny. These are the ones. Everything from refridgeration piping hangars to 3/4" nuts on roof drains, these fit it. They are the golden size for smaller work. Maybe use a bigger set on them roof drains.

Great tool

These Cobra pliers are seriously impressive. The self-locking grip is incredibly strong, and the adjustment mechanism is smooth and precise. Despite the compact size, they bite into fittings and pipes with authority. Worth every penny — Knipex quality never disappoints.
