Perfomance
This thing grips like it’s angry. Up to 27mm jaw capacity means it handles bolts, pipe, or stubborn gear with ease — all while fitting in your hand like it was made for it. The push-button adjustment is fast and surgical. There’s no play, no flex, just precise pressure when you lock it down. For anyone who’s ever needed real pliers in a pinch, the Cobra Mini is a pocket-sized powerhouse.
