The Cobra is their water-pump plier: 25 fine-pitch adjustment positions, a push-button slide, and box-joint geometry that grips harder the harder you pull. The current design dates to 2002; the lineage of Knipex water-pump pliers runs back decades further. Professional plumbers — people who operate these tools at full force, wet, hundreds of times a week — treat them as permanent equipment.</p>
