FAQs

A slip joint moves between fixed positions and can jump under load. A push-button ladder locks into a position and holds it, so the plier does not walk off the fitting.

Because on a soft fitting a plier that slips takes the corners off before anyone notices, and once the flats are rounded the fitting can no longer be gripped on its faces.

Off the work. The button is pressed, the jaws are set to the fitting, and the plier then grips parallel across its whole jaw rather than at two points.

125mm, 180mm and 250mm, which gives both reach into a confined position and leverage on a fitting that has been in place for years.

A VDE insulated Cobra at 250mm carries the 1000V rating, which covers electrical work where a standard plier would not be permitted.

With soft or plastic jaws, which are held for exactly that. A serrated jaw marks whatever it grips, which is what gives it purchase in the first place.

Jaw capacity is what the pliers will open to and the adjustment mechanism is what keeps them there. A slip joint moves between fixed positions and can jump under load. A push-button ladder locks into a position and holds it, which is what stops the plier walking off a fitting mid-turn. Jaw capacity is stated per plier so the fitting size is checked before the tool is bought.

That difference decides more than convenience. On a soft fitting a plier that slips takes the corners off before anyone notices, and once the flats are rounded the fitting has to be gripped from outside rather than on its faces. Rounding a fitting also usually means removing it destructively rather than turning it.

Adjustment is made off the work rather than on it. The button is pressed, the jaws are set to the fitting, and the plier then grips parallel across its whole jaw rather than at two points. Setting it approximately and squeezing harder is what damages fittings. Parallel jaws also spread the load across the flats rather than concentrating it at the corners.

Length gives leverage and reach together, running 125mm, 180mm and 250mm here. A VDE insulated form at 250mm carries the 1000V rating for electrical work. Soft and plastic jaws are held where the fitting must not be marked at all. Send the fitting to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. A three piece Cobra set covers the length range in one purchase.
