I am not sure that this change makes them any more EDC-friendly but it does make them great for getting into tight places and reduces the weight. I should also note that the new 87 00 100 has slimmer jaws. Shown: The 87 00 100’s jaws are slimmed versus the 87 01 100 It also streamlines the pliers significantly and removes sport for lint to accumulate. This allows the user to adjust the size of the pliers with one hand as there is no button to press. The second EDC update is the use of a detent adjustment instead of a button lock. These bare grips make the pliers slide in and out of the pocket with ease. The new 87 00 100 has well-shaped, bare steel handles with checkering for grip. The grip on the Cobra 87 01 125 is comfortable and useable but it adds thickness and can make the pliers stick in your pocket a bit. The first is the lack of a rubberized grip. There are two changes that make these new, smaller Cobra Pliers more EDC-friendly. It actually brings a number of thoughtful features that fit it’s intended purpose as an everyday carry item. However, this isn’t just a smaller version of an existing product. It is also an inch shorter in overall length than the already fairly compact 87 01 125. The new Cobra Plier 87 00 100 follows the Knipex Cobra pattern with its large jaw opening, excellent hardened teeth, and easy adjustment. Shown: 87 00 100 on the left compared with the 87 01 125 on the right Knipex has certainly taken note of the attention that the everyday carry community has given to the 87 01 125 because they have launched an addition to the Cobra line that is actually aimed directly at the EDC market. I am certainly not the only one who took notice of these handy little pliers. The Knipex Cobra Pliers 87 01 125 are one of my all-time favorite tools, one of the reasons I started writing The EDC Tool Roll series, and the most viewed review in this series. The tools shown aren’t multi-tools but rather real tools, that by virtue of their compact size, light weight, usefulness, or unique functionality, can find a place in any range kit, emergency kit, or every day carry bag.įeel free to comment on the tools that you carry so we can all learn!
