Pinza a scorrimento Knipex Cobra XL

The Knipex Cobra XL slip-joint pliers combine the gripping performance of water pump pliers with a lighter weight and larger gripping capacity than comparable pipe wrenches. With a length of 400 mm, a maximum pipe/tube diameter capacity of 90 mm and a maximum nut size of 95 mm, the Cobra XL fits into a plumber's tool kit while providing strong, adjustable gripping force for plumbing and mechanical tasks.

Advantages

These slip-joint pliers offer a high gripping capacity while weighing approximately 1.21 kg, roughly 50% less than a 2" pipe wrench of comparable length. The adjustable jaw system enables quick size changes and secure, slip-resistant clamping across a wide range of pipe and nut diameters. The compact 400 mm length balances reach and manoeuvrability, making the tool practical for confined working spaces.

Suitable for

• Plumbing: gripping and turning pipe fittings and connectors
• Mechanical work: holding and turning nuts and bolts
• Maintenance tasks where adjustable, secure gripping is required
