Meet the KNIPEX Cobra Extra Slim Pliers 87 51 250 SBA

The Cobra Extra Slim series extends the classic Cobra line with longer, more narrow jaws, designed to reach into cramped corners where standard pliers struggle. The front gripping serration is optimized for round parts like screws, bolts, and wire rope, while a groove near the tip helps hold nails, pins, and bolts in place as you work. The combination of a slim head and a refined joint makes it possible to access tight spaces without compromising grip or control.

Forged from high-grade chrome vanadium electric steel and oil-hardened, these pliers are built for ongoing use.

A pinch guard adds a safety layer, helping to protect fingers during setup and repositioning.
