The Knipex Cobra XL offers a larger gripping capacity while being significantly lighter than comparable pipe wrenches. It allows for quick push-button adjustment directly on the workpiece, preventing unwanted slipping of the joint. The fine adjustment enables optimal adaptation to different workpiece sizes and ensures a comfortable grip width. It is self-locking on pipes and screws, which prevents slipping on the workpiece and requires minimal hand force. The scissor joint design increases stability through double guidance, and the pinch protection prevents the operator's fingers from being caught.
