Small, useful and anything but a toy! The Cobra XS is a compact member of the KNIPEX Cobra family. It is a fully functional pair of high-tech water pump pliers that really comes into its own in tight spaces. With fine adjustment directly on the work piece, this tool provides eleven adjustment positions and can grip nuts up to 24 mm in diameter and other work pieces as large as 28 mm - at an overall length of only 100 millimeters.Owing to its compact size, the Cobra XS can be easily used with only one hand. Like all products in the KNIPEX Cobra family, the Cobra XS is of course self-locking on pipes and nuts: The result is no slipping at the work piece and operations such as gripping, holding, pressing and bending are considerably less strenuous.The robust box joint features an innovative mechanism for adjusting the opening width: simply place the upper jaw half onto the work piece, then push the lower jaw forwards. The gripping surfaces have specially hardened teeth: for a permanently secure grip and high wear resistance. A pinch guard protects against crush injuries.
