This product is a very high quality made tool.Has a really nice locking mechanismVery ergonomicWhen using the product it gives a high level of grip on the partThis product is a bit expensive but is definitely worth the money

Do I need to explain anymore? My review simply mirrors that of all of the other 5* reviews. These Pliers are simply the best money can buy. Great build quality, ergonomic and the best grip from any set of pliers I've used.

Quality product lasts years, had some for 20 years till I lost them and they were still In great shape after heavy daily use. These are the best water pump pilers you can buy In my opinion. I daily use some cheaper non branded ones ordered through work and although they are solid they are not as good as knipex. So good I had to buy a 2. I have used other branded ones before ie rothenberger which are good but find myself always picking up the knipex for the best grip and staying locked at the size I need for the taskHad some issues with the process of buying these. Not the seller or the products fault in anyway, the customer service was fantastic with this company, a phone call away and helped me right away.

Having used a cheap set of grips in the past that continuously slipped off bolts and handles that kept snapping closed on my fingers I gave up using grips like this until I was recommended to try the Knipex Cobra's. I bought the 250mm (10 inch) version as it was the most useful toolbox option for me. so what did I like about this tool?:The jaws are thin enough to reach into enclosed spaces:The teeth are incredibly sharp, they grip onto bolts and wont let go, this is easily better than using an adjustable spanner, although the grips will chew into soft metal.: once the grips are effectively locked onto a pipe you don't have to squeeze them any more, just maintain pressure on the top of the handle and the teeth do all the work gripping like crazy, you can stick an extension bar onto the top handle to maximize leverage.: The push button adjustment works really well and offers a superb range of sizes.: the teeth of the tool have been hardened to a significant degree, these wont deform or roll like a cheap tool.: No matter what level of adjustment the handles always have a gap so you will never pinch your fingers again!.:The handles have been hot dipped and will not slide off the tool.:The only thing I will say is that the teeth are directional, you have to flip the tool over if you want to go from tightening to loosening to get the best grip possible.Yes these are around a tenner more than most brands but I think it is money well spent, these have never let go on me and will take all the punishment you can dish out to them, phenomenal performance!.

Very good tool as expected. Effective grip for hand and jaw grip is very strong can’t compare to diy.

It took quite a while to come 8 days but upon seeing some of the 1 star reviews saying it was second hand or not a genuine item I can honestly say mine arrived brand new and upon using it it didn’t break and is a quality tool if it was here a bit quicker it would have been 5 stars don’t be put off by 1 star reviews this is a quality tool

As a hospital plumber I use these pretty much every day working on taps, ballvalves, radiators etc. I always use two to back off any vulnerable joints on ageing pipes etc as all NHS plumbing systems are run down and pretty much in a weakened state. The jaws grip really well, and have a micro adjustment which covers most sizes required. I will only use this brand, as I won’t trust anything else.

Have used this now daily for the last while it's really good quality
