Overpriced

Small but mighty!
These are perfect for the tight job or just putting in your pocket in case you need something to take off a tight connection

Knipex 5" Cobra Pliers

They're just as good as the bigger versions. They're very lightweight. These are a definite must have.

Knipex pliers are the absolute best! These little pliers are no exception, they are made with great precision and have no slop in the joints. I am looking forward to finding as many uses as possible for these 5‚" pliers.

Knipex 5" Cobra Pliers - Plastic Grip

This is an excellent tool. It works superbly in many situations where others just don't. And it's high quality, it does not damage easily (or hardly, either).

E
Eric
Knipex 125

These pliers are well made but this size is useless. Way too small. I regret not getting at least the next size up. I should've returned them but with KC Tools having such a short return window it was too late.

Cobra pliers

I have the five and seven inch versions, one in my sprinter camper, one in my dune buggy, one in my son's 22ft sailboat. They are as close to a good universal tool as you can get

Small but mighty

These pliers are smal but its amazing how much they open up too and how strong they are. I use them daily.

T
Tin Dang
Small but superb built quality

Great little EDC pliers to keep in your pockets. Don't be fooled by its mini size, because this thing has some serious power. The teeth can cut through sealant and grip whatever nut and bolt underneath with ease. Perfect companion or the 180mm or 200mm Cobras. Highly recommended.

Carl Rice
Knipex [****] 5" Cobra Pliers - Plastic Grip

Very well made with an ingenious design that won't change if you drop the tool! Looks like I will need to buy some of the bigger ones now!!

Knifed pliers

Best set of pocket pliers I've ever owned, I carry them religiously.

Knipex

I'm a industrial electrician and these are small but pack a lunch they fit in tight and confined spaces and can put them in my pocket with a harness on no problem At all or in my safety vest

Cobra pliers are the best

Can't go wrong with these.

J
James Levin
Cobra 125mm

Great tool. No complaints

J
John Carder
Slip into your pocket convenient

It is small enough to slip into your pocket, yet it feels perfect in your hand (and I'm big, 6/3", 230#). It has a reasonable max opening size (big enough to open the lid on a can of PVC glue). The pliers are "real" pliers, not the toy pliers on Leatherman-type tools. I love mine.

T

Basically a must have

Knipex is known for their pliers and these do not disappoint. Straightforward, simple high quality design and execution. Easy one handed operation to open and close jaws. Handles just long enough to get a full solid hand to squeeze. Hard as hell, sharp, tight jaws with minimal play. Precise enough to be used like wide nose tweezers. My only complaint is that the red handles, although round and comfortable, hand a strange almost wet slippy feel. But I hockey tape my handles so whatev.

C
Cole Wild
Amazing wrench

I bought the 10‚" last year and decided I needed a smaller pair. I keep them in my back pocket and use them all the time. They're machined so perfectly and I can bite the 5‚" pair onto a 1.5‚" piece of wood, I'm super impressed with how wide they open.

5 inch knipex cobra pliers

My new edc at work, perfect pocket size pliers, I use them more than any other tool now!

T

perfection

I have a set of the same pliers that are perfect for what ever i need them for this little set I carry in my pocket to help with anything and everything.

R

Small package

Big results. Practical and I find them more useful than the 100mm XS version.

D
David Evangelisto
Very useful pliers!

These small Knipex pliers are great. I use them much more than I anticpated, as theya re easy to have close at hand. I've bought two pairs of these, so I can keep one in my truck.

P
Peter Marsh
Very well made

Some features I like: a yoke design on the lower jaw, which provides better support; finer adjustment compared to standard adjustable jaw pliers (water pump pliers); and finally, a locking mechanism for the opening adjustment - with regular "channel lock or water pump" pliers, the adjustment usually slips when they're opened for use.

W
Will Huenink
so elegant

I don't think I've ever held a tool that so clearly demonstrates its quality as this one does. The 150 is substantially larger, and it reads in the hand as a solid, well made tool—but this one, you know immediately, if it weren't a remarkably well made, well designed object, it wouldn't work at all. It is a wonder, a pleasure, a thing beyond useful, if you admire such things. Great little object. A+

Eric Guard
Just as handy as the bug ones

Love it. Just the right size!

Amazing

For the size of these pliers it's badass seeing what you can get done with them

Best pliers

Don't be fooled by the small size.These small pliers put in work big time.
