10 Inch VDE Water Pump Plier

The Knipex 87 28 250 SBA Cobra is a 10 inch insulated water pump plier forged from chrome vanadium electric steel. Its push-button adjustment allows quick jaw-width changes up to 1 1/8 inches. The polished finish reduces friction and resists corrosion during daily use. It is supplied new for professional and trade applications.

Electricians and technicians needing insulated grip

This plier suits users who require VDE-tested insulation for work on or near live electrical components. The forged, oil-hardened construction handles high torque on pipes, nuts and fittings. Buyers who need a non-insulated version or a different jaw capacity should look at other models. It is not intended for precision electronics or fine mechanical assembly.

Push-button adjustment with VDE insulation

The single specification that decides fit is the combination of 10 inch overall length, 1 1/8 inch maximum jaw width and VDE-certified insulation on the handles. Verify that the jaw range covers the fastener sizes you encounter. Confirm the insulation rating matches the voltage category required for your electrical work.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the push-button adjustment is locking each jaw position correctly?

Open and close the pliers through every notch; the button should snap into each detent without slipping, and the jaws must stay parallel under load on a test nut.

Does the 10" VDE Cobra arrive with any accessories or spare parts, or is the tool alone?

The plier ships as a single unit — no extra jaws, cases or adjustment keys are included in the box.

The model code 87 28 250 SBA lists one length — how do I know this 250 mm size is the right one for my work?

The 250 mm overall length gives a 1 1/8 in. jaw capacity; choose it when you regularly grip pipes or nuts up to that width and want a compact 10 in. handle.
