KNIPEX Cobra XL Water Pump Pliers 400mm 87 01 400

Some installation jobs move beyond ordinary fittings and into heavier, broader connections where a standard water pump plier starts to run out of capacity. The KNIPEX 87 01 400 Cobra XL is made for that step up. It gives you the wider opening needed for larger pipework and fittings while staying lighter and easier to manage than many comparable pipe wrenches. That makes it a smart tool for commercial plumbing, plant maintenance, heating systems, and larger mechanical service jobs.

The XL format brings more capacity without losing the familiar Cobra handling style. Fast push-button adjustment sets the opening directly on the component, fine adjustment helps with accurate sizing, and the self-locking jaw geometry means less wasted effort during use. The box-joint design improves stability under strain, while the hardened gripping teeth are designed for secure hold and wear resistance. Even at this size, the tool remains practical to position and easier to handle than bulkier alternatives when the job demands both reach and control.

With 27 adjustment positions, pipe capacity up to 90 mm, and nut capacity up to 95 mm, the 87 01 400 Cobra XL is well suited to users who regularly face larger infrastructure, plant, or service connections. It brings bigger working range without turning into an oversized specialist tool that is awkward to carry or position.
