Knipex 003120V01US COBRA High-Tech Water Pump Pliers 2-Piece Set
The Ultimate Professional Gripping Set. No Slipping. No Wasted Effort.
The Knipex 003120V01US Cobra 2-Piece Set combines two of the most popular tools in the Knipex catalog into one versatile kit. Featuring the 7-1/4" (180mm) and 10" (250mm) models, this set provides the perfect range for everything from delicate precision work to heavy-duty plumbing and automotive repairs.
Equipped with a patented push-button mechanism, these pliers allow for rapid, fine-tuned adjustment directly on the workpiece. Once set, the jaws self-lock on pipes and nuts, meaning you don't have to squeeze the handles together to maintain a grip. This drastically reduces hand fatigue and prevents the tool from slipping and rounding off fasteners.
Key Performance Features:
- Self-Locking Design: Once engaged, the pliers stay locked on the workpiece, requiring minimal hand force to turn even the most stubborn nuts and pipes.
- Push-Button Fine Adjustment: Quickly adapt to a wide range of workpiece sizes with up to 25 adjustment positions (on the 10" model) for a perfect handle width.
- Induction Hardened Teeth: Special hardened teeth (approx. 61 HRC) provide a secure, long-lasting bite with extremely high wear resistance.
- Box-Joint Stability: The double-guide design prevents the handles from twisting or shifting under heavy loads, ensuring maximum safety.
- Built-in Pinch Guard: Designed to prevent fingers from being pinched, even when the handles are squeezed together at the smallest setting.
- Chrome Vanadium Steel: Forged and oil-hardened for industrial-strength durability and a lifetime of professional use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the self-locking feature work? +
The Knipex Cobra features a unique jaw geometry that creates a self-clamping effect. Once the teeth are engaged on a pipe or nut, the pliers stay locked in place. You only need to apply downward pressure to turn the tool, rather than squeezing the handles together.
Will these teeth mar or scratch my fittings? +
These pliers have hardened serrated teeth designed for maximum grip on raw pipes and fasteners. For chrome-plated or highly sensitive decorative fittings, we recommend using the Knipex Pliers Wrench series, which has smooth, flat jaws.
Are these handles insulated for electrical work? +
No. This set features non-slip plastic-coated handles for a secure grip. For work on live electrical circuits, you should look for Knipex models with 1000V VDE-rated insulation (red and yellow handles).
