Description

The KNIPEX 250MM Cobra VDE (87 26 250) combines the acclaimed Cobra water pump plier design with full 1000V VDE insulation — providing the Cobra’s self-locking push-button jaw adjustment and wide grip range in a tool certified for safe use on live electrical systems. Individually tested at 10,000V to DIN EN IEC 60900, this is the only major manufacturer’s adjustable plier offering both the Cobra performance and live-working VDE certification.
At 250mm, the Cobra VDE handles pipes up to 2 inches and hexagonal fasteners up to SW 46mm in live electrical environments — providing the full range of cable gland, conduit locknut, and fitting work that the standard 250mm Cobra handles, but now in energised environments where a live-working certified tool is mandatory.
The yellow-red VDE multi-component insulated handles provide the required dielectric barrier alongside ergonomic comfort. For professionals who regularly perform maintenance and modification work on live distribution and switchgear, the Cobra VDE is an outstanding specialist tool that combines the best adjustable plier design with the safety certification required for live-working compliance.
