The Knipex 87 26 VDE Insulated Cobra Hightech Water Pump Pliers are professional-grade adjustable pliers designed for electrical and plumbing work where live circuit protection is essential. These VDE-tested pliers combine Knipex's innovative Cobra push-button adjustment system with full electrical insulation, making them ideal for electricians working on installations up to 1000V.
