Published on 09/18/2026 at 09:46 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
KNIPEX Cobra 87 02 250 measures 250 mm and uses a high-tech water pump plier layout with 25 adjustment positions. KNIPEX lists the 250 mm version with atramentized, lacquered, or burnished finish and multi-component grips.
Model Details
The KNIPEX product page names the 87 02 250 among the Cobra line and gives a 250 mm length for that model. It also lists a 46 mm nut capacity and 50 mm pipe capacity.
A separate KNIPEX data sheet for 87 02 250 shows a weight of 366 g, dimensions of 250 x 50 x 18 mm, and compliance with DIN ISO 8976. The same sheet states REACH compliance and no SVHC content.
US Market Position
KNIPEX Tools LP lists its US address in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. That US entity handles contact for the brand's North American market.
At Home Depot, a KNIPEX Cobra Series 10 in. QuickSet Water Pump Pliers listing shows $47.97, while Walmart lists Cobra Pliers, 250 mm, 25 Adj. at $66.55. The price spread shows how the 250 mm Cobra family reaches US shoppers through different retail channels.
Where It Fits
Compared with the 250 mm Cobra 87 01 250 on the same KNIPEX product page, the 87 02 250 adds multi-component grips instead of plastic coating. The length stays at 250 mm, so the practical difference sits in handle design rather than size.
For buyers who want a 250 mm Cobra with the 87 02 250 model code, the appeal is a documented spec set: 25 adjustment positions, 46 mm nut capacity, and 50 mm pipe capacity. Those figures make it easy to separate this plier from other Cobra lengths and handle versions.
Use Case And Limits
The 87 02 250 sits in the hand-tool class of water pump pliers, not in a broad catchall tool group. Its published numbers point to pipe and nut work, with the 250 mm size and 46 mm nut capacity as the most useful reference points.
For US readers comparing Cobra pliers, the cleanest signal is the model number itself. The 87 02 250 is the 250 mm version with multi-component grips, and that distinction matters more than the Cobra name alone.
