The benefits of working with these water pump pliers are plain to see. They are compact, light and stable, can be positioned on the component quickly and are self-locking, e.g. on pipes and nuts. Due to its compact size, it is particularly suitable for work in confined spaces. Despite this, it achieves a gripping capacity for pipes with a diameter of up to 1 1⁄2 inches or 42 mm and for nuts up to a wrench opening of 36 mm. For pipes, nuts, sleeves, for various kinds of components: the professional user applies the Knipex Cobra quickly and accurately with just one hand movement. The spring-loaded hinge bolt locks securely into place without adjusting inadvertently. Thanks to the 18-fold fine adjustment, the Knipex Cobra 87 01 180 can be ideally adjusted to different sizes of the component. This fine adjustment also ensures that the user is able to find a hand-friendly gripping position for every grip width. The Knipex Cobra is further stabilised by the box joint design. Unlike pliers with mounted joints, no tilting forces arise when under strain. The handles stabilise each other in the joint. The Knipex Cobra clamps onto the component securely by itself thanks to the jaw geometry developed by Knipex. This means the user can put all energy into the desired movement without pressing the pliers handle together – and thus without energy loss: round components can be turned, bolted connections tightened and released. ## Features - Push the button for adjustment on the workpiece - Fine adjustment for optimum adaptation to different sizes of workpieces and a comfortable handle width - Self-locking on pipes and nuts: no slipping on the workpiece and low handforce required - Gripping surfaces with special hardened teeth, teeth hardness approx. 61 HRC: high wear resistance and stable gripping - Box-joint design for high stability due to double guide ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B000X4PU26 | | Best Sellers Rank | 23,686 in DIY & Tools (See Top 100 in DIY & Tools) 27 in Tongue-and-Groove Pliers | | Brand | KNIPEX | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (7,884) 4.8 out of 5 stars | | Cutting Width | 1.5 Inches | | Eu Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04003773012016, 04003773022015 | | Grip Type | Padded | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Included Components | Components Included | | Item Dimensions L X W | 18.3L x 4.5W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Water pump tongs COBRA 180mm | | Item Weight | 0.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | KNIPEX | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | 87 01 180 | | Part Number | 87 01 180 | | Set Name | New Generation KNIPEX Cobra | | Specification Met | DIN ISO 8976 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Upc | 640026839163 720698910794 043985291995 636123631281 640024973715 724137402093 043966493448 043099587076 | | Usage | Handling pipes and nuts, self-locking, adjusting to different sizes, providing stability, preventing finger pinching. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KNIPEX - **Colour:** Black - **Cutting width:** 1.5 Inches - **Grip type:** Padded - **Handle material:** Plastic - **Item weight:** 179 g - **Material:** Plastic - **Product dimensions:** 18.3L x 4.5W centimetres - **Specification met:** DIN ISO 8976 ## Images ![KNIPEX Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers 180 mm, 87 01 180 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tK6ynpkVL.jpg) ![KNIPEX Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers 180 mm, 87 01 180 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lOG9PgBGL.jpg) ![KNIPEX Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers 180 mm, 87 01 180 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61f4CGfrGiL.jpg) ![KNIPEX Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers 180 mm, 87 01 180 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610QbEaDmyL.jpg) ![KNIPEX Cobra High-Tech Water Pump Pliers 180 mm, 87 01 180 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Z1mLToQAL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the warranty** A: Knipex offers a lifetime limited warranty covering workmanship and materials. **Q: How much the jaw open ?** A: Mine opens 2 5/8".

Whilst they are not the cheapest set of pliers, their craftsmanship is superb. They are a breeze to use, machined well and I expect them to last a lifetime if cared for properly.The button adjustment is very effective in locking the pliers, yet is easy to use and adjust as necessary.The multi angle jaws provide good grip on a multitude of surfaces and the handles are just right for me. The coating is a thin and very slightly spongy material, than feels comfortable in bare hands and not too big when wearing gloves. I prefer slim handles like this, rather than excessively padded ones as it is easier to get access into tight spaces and it feels easier to transfer turning force.Would definitely buy Knipex again if/when I need another size. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nippex is quality *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 May 2026* By far the best make of grips ive ever owned ## Frequently Bought Together - KNIPEX - 8701180 Knipex 87 01 180 7-1/4-Inch Cobra Pliers - KNIPEX Tools - Pliers Wrench, Black Finish (8601180), 7 1/4-Inch - KNIPEX Tools 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper, 8-Inch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/49598372-knipex-cobra-high-tech-water-pump-pliers-180-mm-87](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/49598372-knipex-cobra-high-tech-water-pump-pliers-180-mm-87) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
