Knipex Cobra XS Pliers
A four-inch pair of real water-pump pliers from Knipex — small enough for a pouch, useful enough to avoid pocket-tool cosplay.
The Cobra XS is exactly the kind of compact tool that earns a place because it does one thing properly. No blade, no gimmick stack, no twelve unusable attachments pretending to be preparedness.
