Today in the workshop we are showing you the 87 00 100 KNIPEX Cobra® XS. Grips like a big tool: the smallest water pump pliers in the world at 4'' with full functional capability.
I've just discovered KNIPEX. He's right, the Cobra xs fits perfect in my pocket for whatever I can think to use them on. Wife hates em because I also use them as a "fidget spinner" and the clicking gets to her haha. Great tool as well 👍🤙
In my shop I personally own roughly 10 pump pliers, 4 parallel flat jaw pliers, and 3 mini sets. At my work, we employ nothing but knipex water pump pliers. They clearly are the best you can get. And the price is great considering years later and only 1 set shows any teeth wear. Guess my edc needs these little guys now.
A suggestion. Add a hole at the end of the handle for hanging it to a belt and it'd be even better. Make the hole that for 1/4" tool bits would be even better.
Take my money! ( make more edc stuff btw, knipex is the only company at the moment who makes better pliers then leatherman in the same size! ) i have several leatherman's but the wrench 125mm kicked all of them out of my pocket and im sure this thing will even more! nice job.
I got this one and the 125 wrench one and i have to say.. while this xs is great and smaller and lighter the 125 wrench just has such insane leverage ... The difference is day and night! And yes this one has teeth and the wrench one does not but since ot has such insane leverage pressure it will never let go of anything anyway... PLEASE make a 100mm wrench one with the same button and parallel pliers it will be a gold mine!!
Already awaiting $170 worth of Knipex tools from Lowe’s..got a kit coming but now I want these..perfect for pocket carry ..I have the 5 inch pair for work but may get these for EDC..kinda like with the compact size they left off the handles and just added texture and grip to the metal handle... and
German video: th-cam.com/video/ti9Pfhht0lM/w-d-xo.html There's no debate, it's a German company called Knipex [knipeks]. Easy if you speak German. :D Just like BMW, Porsche, VW, Mercedes, etc. - I am yet to hear an American pronounce those correctly/as-is, but I understand the resistance. Rammstein fans are cringing even harder. :P Use them and enjoy them, call them how you wanna, as long we can understand each other - that's all that matter. ;) P.S.: Having a cool/sexy ass German teacher and watching ProSieben helps a lot! :D
Implement the XS mechanism in your full size pump pliers!…. I would buy a full set if they had the same adjustment tech👌🏼 (I had to return my 10” quick set version because the teeth rolled when I was ripping brass at my job 🤔 somehow the teeth must not have been hardened properly😢
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and am a girl, with smaller hands. I am looking at these for opening water bottle caps, juice bottle caps and such. Do you think these would work for such a thing or would the 5'' or 6'' be better?
The 4" should work fine for any cap 1" or less. The handle will give lots of leverage. If gripping the handle hurts, use a handcloth to spread the force around.
Hi Luis. The main difference between the two pliers are the adjustment positions. The 5" has 13 adjustment positions and the 4" has 11. The 5" also features non-slip plastic coated handles and the 4" are rough embossed. Hope that helps!
A lot (not all) of companies do not send to POBs to avoid getting scammed out of shipping costs when recipients decide not to collect for some reason. Noticed this around 2008.

One grandfather went mad because of your hundredth cobra, another young boy began to twist everything for her - even a bicycle. Germans, when will you stop making fun of the Slavs?
Can you imagine a Knipex folding pliers?,... I love everything I can put on my EDC bag, and Knipex hit the spot with this mini pliers

So excited about these! One of the best new tools I've seen in a while.
Knipex cobra is the best engineering on the planet hands down

I bought this because it’s cute. Didn’t know about these features.
Finally got my XS. I live in Africa btw. Awesome tool highly recommend for EDC!!! Next up is the size bigger
I wish Knipex would do more of these as well as tool education translated to English as this one was (or good subtitles).
finally english version thanks.
You can tell it's a native German speaker by the way he pronounces the T's

The best pliers.
Very good tools!!!!
Knipex is the best without doubt
Knipex are the best ! 👌
Fantastic tool gotta have it
Getting a couple of them,one in my toolbox and one going in my pants pocket which I am going to carry with my Leatherman multi tool.
Any plans to upgrade the bigger cobras with these new features!?
Ohh, that mighty shorty❤️
The smallest model looks interesting
My KNIPEX tool collection is getting bigger and slowly replacing my older tools.

UPDATE: Felix called Knipex (in Germany) directly to find out what they call themselves: K-nEE-ex.
Gotta love a guy who doesn't mind being wrong. 🧡
K-nEE-pex
I was a channel lock guy but no more. I will only use these now.
Good choice.
I was hoping to see him stand on the XS too
Hi. What's that contraption you used to demo the Cobra XS called? Is there an instructional on how to make one? Thanks
Put a flat blade on the end of one grip and a Phillips on the other.
Who else is here to put the nipex-knipex debate to rest hahahaha
I've been sending them here for years. 😎

Luv my Knipex 10" Alligator Pliers'
I pocket carry them Daily at Work 💪
All you need now is a cobra XM for a keychain the M is for micro

The 4" should work fine for any cap 1" or less. The handle will give lots of leverage. If gripping the handle hurts, use a handcloth to spread the force around.
I don't know what this "self clamping" feature is that you reference. My Cobra XS "self clamp" precisely nothing.
Just got a set of these. Was wondering if they are suppose to line up perfectly when closed or should we expect them to be offset by about a mm?
That is normal. There is always lateral tolerance on the jaw positioning. We hope you put the new set to good use!

Is there a huge difference in performance between the 4 and the 5 inch cobras?
Hi Luis. The main difference between the two pliers are the adjustment positions. The 5" has 13 adjustment positions and the 4" has 11. The 5" also features non-slip plastic coated handles and the 4" are rough embossed. Hope that helps!
@@KnipexToolsUSA thank you, much appreciated! Just ordered my first pair of Knipex, went ahead and got the 4".
@@luismacotela-garcia6665 You won't be disappointed!

Wish I could find these
Scott Wibbens they were released for USA distribution yesterday July 20, 2020. So we should be able to get them soon!
Check out kctoolco.com they have them in stock
Looks like they ran out
Scott Wibbens yea when I originally commented they had them in stock. They were out of stock within hours.
They have them I see on eBay, about $75
Amazon won't send me one because I use a Post Office box.

Does it explode or something ?
