KNIPEX Micro Cobra®, (cat. # 87 01 125) the HiTech Water Pump Pliers

[AJ]

I was looking at the Knipex site and seen this listed under New Products.

I have always liked the Knipex pliers.

The Knipex Mirco Cobra is just under 5 inches!



I have carried a multi-tool with me daily for years and find them very useful.
The Knipex Micro Cobra and a multi-tool maybe a very handy combo to have.

I'm going to order one and see what they are like.

Anyone else have the Knipex Micro Cobra?

i love knipex tools! i got 2 pairs of cobra pliers, a pair of Needle nose pliers, a pair of diagonal cutters, and a wire cutter, they are the BEST quality hand tools i have found

Do they have anything like Kleins? What kind of price range?

[schaffersapplian]

they are on the higher end of prices for hand tools, but are well worth it and backed by a lifetime guarantee. just hope you don't leave them under that last dishwasher you worked on.

I have not found many places on line that carry the Micro Cobra.

I once left a pair of pliers under a free standing range. I called the customer later that same day to ask them to look for it. They said they looked, but did not see it.

I was back to work on that same range over a year later and guess what. I found my pliers under the range, just were I left it.

I also once had my multi-tool go missing for a week. I had no idea were I could have left it. Went back to put a part in a range and when I pulled the range out there was my multi-tool on the floor behind the range.

I just placed a order for...

8701 125 Knipex Micro Cobra

8701 180 Knipex 7" Cobra

8701 250 New Wide Opening Knipex 10" Cobra

I should have them in a few days. I already know what to expect from the 7" & 10" Knipex Cobra, but I'm really interested in seeing what the Micro Cobra is like.

Oh sure, I do have some tools from them. They are ok too, but there pliers still are not as good as the Knipex Cobra in my opinion.

[schaffersapplian]

i agree with AJ, I do own some Klein tools as well, but they do not compare to the quality of Knipex. Hands down the best hand tools made.

Dang I just wish I knew where my dang Kleins were

Here is a photo of the Knipex Micro Cobra on top a dollar bill to give you a better idea of just how small it is.



If your like me and always have a multi-tool on your belt I think you will find that the Knipex Micro Cobra in your pocket and a multi-tool on your belt makes a great combination.
