Overview
The Knipex 87 01 line covers five sizes in one listing, 125, 150, 180, 250, and 300 millimeters, matching Knipex's well known Cobra style self-adjusting water pump pliers. Handles are plastic-coated, and the listed weight of 3.47 pounds reflects the combined line rather than a single pair.
Knipex's 87 01 model numbers are the company's Cobra pliers series, which adjust to pipe or fitting size with a push-button release rather than a traditional notched slip joint. Because this listing bundles five sizes together, buyers need to select the specific 125-300mm size that matches their job rather than assuming the 3.47 pound figure applies to one pair.

- Plastic-coated handles
Who it's for
Plumbers, mechanics, and DIYers who want self-adjusting pliers across a range of pipe and fitting sizes. Less useful for buyers who only need one fixed size and want a single-item weight and price.
Pros and cons
- Self-adjusting jaw design typical of Knipex Cobra pliers
- Five size options, 125 to 300mm, in one listing
- Plastic-coated handles for grip
- Listed weight likely reflects combined sizes
- Must select the correct size for the job
Performance notes
The push-button self-adjustment typical of Knipex's 87 01 Cobra pliers lets the jaws reset to grip size automatically as you open and close them, rather than requiring a manual notch change. Plastic-coated handles add grip comfort, though the exact grip pattern is not detailed in the listing.
