Origin

KNIPEX developed this product in response to end users looking for smaller pump pliers thin enough to fit into tight areas. They reengineered the adjustment position, removing the push button to make the tool not only thinner, but also faster to adjust with one hand. Additionally, KNIPEX incorporated key features from the standard Cobra Pump Pliers including special hardened teeth, pinch guard, self-locking jaws, and 11 adjustment positions.
