In addition, the Cobra XS offers a secure gripping capacity up to 1", a slim-head design, textured handles, and 11 adjustment positions that can be selected with one hand by sliding a handle.

Additionally, KNIPEX incorporated key features from the standard Cobra Pump Pliers including special hardened teeth, pinch guard, self-locking jaws, and 11 adjustment positions.
