Great size

Love the cobras. It's nice to have the 12's and the 7's to compliment the 10's. Can't go wrong with knipex quality

Death Grip

I'm sure by now if you're hear looking at these pliers you've heard how good they are. I was hooked after borrowing my coworkers, after I got my own pair I couldn't be happier with the performance. Say goodbye to slipping and potential knuckle busting. These things grab onto anything and don't let go

Absolutely Incredible MUST OWN

I always wanted these cobra pliers and I finally got them. The grasp and force these pliers generate is astounding! Best pliers in my box, I also bought them in the 6" length. Hands down the best!
They should be dubbed "crocodile or alligator or great white" instead of cobra. The bite force is unbelievable! These are the " Porsche" of pliers!

The best pliers

This knipex pliers are amazing. They don't slip on anything. The grip is ridiculous, I stood on top of these while holding on to gas pipe and they didn't budge.
Just amazing pliers

The backbone of your kit.

I think these Knipex pliers should be the backbone of any good toolkit. They work excellent and are built to last. Even better, they are well engineered with tight tolerances so there's not slipping and sliding on the fasteners you are working on!

Great

I love the Cobra style pliers they work great. Great value for the quality of tool your getting. I've had knipex pliers for years I use them everyday as a residential and commercial plumber. You put them on the pipe get them set and got to work no fumbling around trying to get them set and resetting when you drop them. You set it it stays set.

Awesome

Love the knipex cobras. I have multiple sizes and don't know how I put up with the Knuckle busting palm pinching expletive inducing junk I owned before .

Better

This brand is just all around better. The more slender handles and head are helpful for crowded applications.

The Real Star of the Show

Everyone talks highly of the 10" cobras, but in my mind the 12" are the real star of the show. They have been invaluable where just a little larger jaw or a bit more torque is need to get the job done.

Had to get a second set just because my coworkers keep borrowing them!
