KNIPEX 87 26 250 Cobra® VDE Water Pump Pliers – 250mm, 1000V Insulated

The KNIPEX 87 26 250 Cobra® VDE High-Tech Water Pump Pliers are designed for electricians, HVAC technicians, refrigeration technicians, plumbers and maintenance professionals who need a strong insulated gripping tool for pipes, nuts, sleeves and fittings. With a 250mm body, chrome-plated finish and VDE-tested insulated multi-component grips, these Cobra® pliers are built for professional service, installation and maintenance work.

The Cobra® design provides fast push-button adjustment directly on the workpiece, with 24 adjustment positions for fine control across different sizes. The self-locking jaw geometry helps prevent slipping on pipes and nuts, allowing the user to apply force more efficiently without constantly squeezing the handles together.

With hardened gripping teeth, a stable box-joint design and a slim head and joint area, the KNIPEX 87 26 250 provides strong grip and good access in confined spaces. It is ideal for electrical, HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, plant room and industrial maintenance applications where insulated handling and secure gripping performance are required.
