Full details

The Knipex Cobra XS (Model 87 00 100) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need a compact and versatile plier for working in tight spaces. Its key benefit is the ability to grip pipes and nuts securely in confined areas due to its slim head and compact design. However, the grips are not coated to maintain slimness, which may require a firmer grip. The Cobra XS features single-handed adjustment and self-locking capabilities, making it ideal for various plumbing and mechanical tasks.
