Both the Knipex® Cobra® XL and XXL offer the performance and comfort of water pump pliers while being lighter in weight and having a greater gripping capacity than comparable pipe wrenches. The Cobra® XL can e.g. grip a 2 in pipe fitting and weighs 50 % less than a 2 in pipe wrench, which has a much lower gripping capacity. With its handy length of 400 mm, the Cobra® XL also fits into a plumber's tool kit. The Cobra® XXL comes along with the weight of a 2 in pipe wrench but offers a back-up gripping capacity up to 4-1/2 in.
