Best place to get them ?

The small, medium an big set after.

amazon £80, anywhere know that does them cheaper ?
 
I've lost a pair last week, wounded ain't the word had them since I was an apprentice
 
I have misplaced my cobras. Not seen em for atleast a fortnight. Dare not look too hard for em in case I find out that they are lost rather than misplaced
:(
 
Just got myself the baby ones and I mean baby! Perfect for getting into tight spots in boilers, if you can find them in the tool box
 
Just bought the 3 an a Stanley tool box with a fittings tray attached for 90 bullets
 
i used to be able to get the 10" cobra's for 16 squids from a local tool shop. Not been there in a while tho so i dont know if the price has gone up.
 
I got some Milwaukee ones.... Dare I say I still pick up cobras by default.
 
I've got the knipex with the flat jaw, dunno what there called but they are my new favourite tool, not cheap though at £45.
 
I think mine are 250mm and fit 28mm nuts and meter unions so pretty universal. They are a bit bulky that's the only downside. Get good torque on them though and now when I use my cobras they just feel flimsy , only use the cobras for pump valves now really.
 
i prefer the alligators think i would cry if i lost a set there like my right arm they are

Ive got a pair of these as well. I think mine are 180mm, good for a 15mm nut. I like them a lot.

Decent for chrome nuts as there is no 'waggle' like normal shifters develop over time when the jaws loosen.
