Product Information

I became intrigued by the Cobra XS after seeing one in the pocket dump of EDC Outlaw on IG, who coats and laser etches Cobras to fantastic results.

Don't miss the opportunity to revolutionize your everyday projects with the KNIPEX XS mini pliers set.

As 15mm is the distance at which you can have the handles fully closed, it's possible to apply a fair amount of welly to an axle nut or pedal – certainly enough to get you home, and close to a serious spanner or 6-8mm hex key (I know because I tested it on an e-road bike with a rear hub motor that had 15mm nuts inset with 8mm hex sockets; I tried both methods on the same fastener). Characterized by a box-joint design, an intelligent self-locking mechanism, along with a quick push-button adjustment function, these pliers grant you unparalleled control and adaptability.Pliers and a wrench in a single tool: Plier wrench's combine many functions, they replace an entire set of wrenches in metric and imperial sizes, and can be adjusted very quickly at the touch of a button. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Again, the force with which you can hold a hex bit is quite sufficient for most tasks, meaning you don't need a separate tool.

The Knipex 8700100BK (Carded) Cobra XS are some of the smallest Water Pump Pliers in the World with the full functionality and grip of a much larger tool. By means of fine adjustment directly on the workpiece it offers eleven setting positions, which grip nuts up to 24 mm diameter and other workpieces even up to 28 mm diameter - and all this with a length of only 100 millimetres. But if you're planning a trip or expedition where self-sufficiency is critical, or have a bike well-festooned with racks and whatnot that get shaken loose from time to time, this might well be one to suggest goes under the Christmas tree or on that Significant Birthday list. Knipex says these are good for up to 21mm, but at that point the handles are a fair distance apart and you may feel them hard to lever against.

The Cobra® XS is of course - like all members of the KNIPEX Cobra® family - self-clamping on pipes and nuts: This prevents slipping on the workpiece and work such as gripping, holding, pressing and bending is much more effortless. The bodies of the KNIPEX Cobra® pliers are made of forged chrome vanadium steel and also feature an ideal balance between hardness and toughness by means of a multi-stage hardening process. The tool pouch, crafted from high-resistance polyester fabric, ensures complete protection for the pliers. With a simple push, you can effortlessly adapt the Knipex 87 00 100 Cobra XS to different workpiece sizes. I did tens of thousands of miles on those and don't remember ever having to do a lock nut whilst on the road.
