Big bite, tiny tools The Cobra XS water pump pliers grip up to 1 inch on round pipe, and the XS pliers wrench handles up to 3/4 inch capacity for nuts and fittings. Carry it every day Belt pouch keeps both pliers together and secured with a hook and loop cover, so they are ready when you need a quick grab tool on the job.

Knipex 00 20 72 V04 XS 2-Piece Mini Pliers Set XS in Belt Pouch Overview

The Knipex 00 20 72 V04 XS 2-Piece Mini Pliers Set XS in Belt Pouch is a plier set designed for gripping and turning small pipe, fittings, and fasteners when you are working in tight spaces. This is a mini plier set designed for everyday carry and quick service work, giving you a water pump pliers and a pliers wrench in a pocket-size package.

The set pairs two different jaw styles because they solve two different problems. The Cobra XS water pump pliers are the go-to when you need aggressive bite on round pipe or irregular shapes. Knipex rates it for up to a 1 inch gripping capacity on round pipe and up to 1 inch on hex, which is plenty for small plumbing connections, hose fittings, conduit locknuts, and general hardware.

The XS pliers wrench is the cleaner option when you want a wrench-like, parallel-jaw grip on flats. Parallel jaws spread force across the fastener instead of concentrating it on corners, which helps when you are working on plated fittings or you are trying not to chew up a nut. Knipex lists up to a 3/4 inch working capacity and hex capacity on the pliers wrench, making it a solid little backup for service calls, tool bags, and shop work.

Both tools are built around Knipex box-joint construction for strength and stability, and both have a pinch guard to reduce finger pinching during adjustments. The grey atramentized surface finish and the embossed, bare handles keep things compact and jobsite-tough, with a textured feel for grip without adding bulky grips that fight pocket carry.

The belt pouch matters more than most people think. Instead of two loose tools rattling around, you get one grab-and-go pouch with a sewn-in belt loop, plus a fabric cover with hook and loop closure to keep the tools from walking out when you climb, kneel, or crawl under a sink.

If you do service work, maintenance, HVAC, plumbing punch lists, or you just like having real Knipex capability in a small form, this set makes sense. It is not meant to replace full-size pliers on production work, but it is exactly the kind of kit that saves a trip back to the truck.

• Tool Type: Plier set (water pump pliers + pliers wrench)

Grip pipes and nuts in tight spaces

• Self-locking on pipes and nuts to reduce slipping

Parallel jaws for clean fastener work

The XS pliers wrench is the one you reach for when you want a wrench-like grip without rounding corners. Parallel jaws distribute force evenly, making it a smart choice for fittings and hardware you are trying to keep looking decent.

• One-handed quick adjustment
• Max jaw opening (hex): 3/4 inch (Pliers Wrench XS 86 04 100)
• Good for gripping, holding, pressing, and bending tasks
