This line of pliers is designed for professionals who need high-quality Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)-compliant pliers for safety on the job.

These needle-nose combination pliers are ideal for all common installation and repair work that involves gripping, bending, holding, pulling, and cutting the workpiece. At a length of 6 inches, these pliers have a slim-head design and anti-twist, pointed jaws, making the pliers useful when working in tough, confined areas. The pliers include a special convex contour on one jaw for a highly secure, three-point grip on workpieces.

These pliers are designed for simple and reliable clamping of 1- and 2-ear clamps. Available in front-jaw, dual-front, and side-jaw options, the pliers are designed to not damage the press points on the ear clamps of a workpiece.

The larger 16-inch Alligator^® XL water-pump pliers are distinguished by a forged box-joint design for very high stability, providing a true top and bottom grip that makes for quick and comfortable use. 

When tool collector Dan Schmidt heard about a Klein Tools-sponsored contest rewarding the oldest pair of Klein pliers, he felt compelled to find the potential winning pair. Much to his surprise, a pair of pliers manufactured in 1904 that he purchased for $3 in March emerged as the eldest tool.

When working in confined or hard-to-reach areas, the Cobra® Quick Set, which has been added to the Cobra water pump pliers family, gives the user the ability to get the job done easily and efficiently. To adjust the tool, the user can slide the top handle forward to achieve the desired capacity.
