    10 inch Cobra Pliers. Made in Germany by Knipex. Most of the information on the package concerns safety and the use of a tether to prevent you from dropping the tool to the floor or on someone below you. I couldn't find the appropriate tether on the Home Depot site but more information is available at WWW.KNIPEX-TOOLS.COM. Look under "products" "tethered pliers". Can be used for round stock up to 2 inches and 1 3/4 inch hex stock. More adjustment positions than the usual channel type pliers but takes a little trial & error to get the right opening. You also need to push a button to adjust the opening but it stays where you set it. Nice rubber like coating on the handles and hardened teeth.

    This is an unusual pair of pliers. The adjustment area is so precise, not great leaps to adjust to next size like the other pliers. Push the button and it will conform to whatever you need to wrench on. Then close the handles (note that they fit into a smaller hand) and turn the object on or off. It's almost like these new easy adjust clamps that they have come out with.

    These look to be the best pliers of this type I've ever seen. They're a bit pricey, but I like everything about them. I like the extra-slim, long nose. The teeth in the jaws are finer than others, and there are even teeth behind the notched potion. They are hardened to approx. 61 HRC which is harder than others and should prevent stripping. The finer adjustment slots allow for finer adjustment to fit objects better.. The spring-loaded push-button locking mechanism makes them very easy to adjust, and will hold that setting well, while using. The pipe portion of the jaws will firmly grasp any size pipe from 1/8" to 3/4" very well. Could probably use them up to 1", but that might be pushing it a bit, since 1" does not quite fit into the notched part of both jaws completely. I normally use a pipe wrench on any pipe other than plastic anyway, so this is not really an issue for me. I also don't normally use pliers for square or hex nuts or bolts, but prefer correctly sized wrenches. However, the design of the notches in these jaws allows them to fit hex quite well, although they are a fraction big on SAE size hex, so are likely made to fit metric better. The flat portion of the jaws opens to 1-1/4" for a good, square fit. Other than the price, I am very impressed with these pliers. But, then again, you get what you pay for. Excellent tool.

    KNIPEX 10 in. Cobra Series Pliers with Extra-Slim Nose for Tight Spaces is a quality tool made from chrome vanadium. Its design is different from other pliers of this size. Its narrower and the jaws are more elongated than regular tool designs. This allows you to get into tight spots other wrench heads can't fit as easily. The KNIPEX has a jaw design in which there is a lock button to fix the opening. It can be more easily adjusted while on the nut by depressing the button and opening or closing the jaw. I found it helpful. The Cobra is comfortable to hold with its covered handles, thinner than others is secure holding and gripping nuts. The mouth is designed to hold various size shapes and comes with grooved jaws. These are not gimmicks by any means and are built to the highest standards. One of these tools belongs in your toolbox at times when others won't do the job, but you'll start going to them first because its a comfortable tool to handle.

    This design not only can function as a Cobra but also a needle nose plier when needed to do so.

    They work, simply put. However they work better than anything else. Don’t waste time with other products in my opinion this is the best one I’ve found so far.
