I Bought 29 Pliers So You Don't Have To

[@JustTim484]

I still use my Klein HD-2009-NE as my linesmen’s. I love Knipex linesmen’s. But I feel bad slamming stuff with them. And the Klein ones cut all-thread and everything without any damage. They’re my workhorses. I just can’t make the switch. The rest of my tool bag is Knipex for pliers.

[@robertdewindt862]

I’ve had three knipex lineman’s pliers and with every one I had the same problem. The cutting edges would start rolling over eachother. Seems to be too much play in the hinge, went back to kleins. Can’t beat the classic. I’ve also find channel locks lineman’s are a decent budget plier.

[@shooter_ric5722]

After metal splinters incidents I use gloves for everything so I only need nitrile dipped pliers. Only insulated tools I have are the Klien slim screwdrivers and the Wiha VDE needlenose. My bag is mostly Klien and Knipex. Still have my Klien clamp meter but have an unopened Fieldpiece meter.

I appreciate the time and thought it took just to plan out that segment. Great job! Love my Knipex pliers. Lord knows I have way more Knipex than I need. lol. You should had some Snap-On plies to your collection. The new 7 inch slip joint long nose are quickly becoming my go to pliers.

[@andrewcrossman2165]

That hybrid Klein, grey color 8" thats an excellent little alternative - strippers /linemans

[@rudylacarl7975]

Well you heard it here officially folks, ten inches is in fact better than 8...😂 love the commitment to this video man awesome collection of tools! Knipex is God tier, I do find myself going back to the good ole USA made klein tools every now and then though🤙🏽

[@andrewcrossman2165]

The Felo vde diagonals etc. almost look exactly like the NES vde diag. Not sure which one wins, but those designs are banging .

Something i haven't noticed on youtube before....~ 20:28 when you say like this video... the Like button actually lights up. You may have to start earlier to get the effect

[@americanelectrician]

It’s a new effect! It’s pretty cool! I appreciate the feedback

[@jonathancamp5149]

Klein does make the same heavy duty needle nose pliers insulated, I found them on Amazon

[@americanelectrician]

Looking for them now. Thanks for the heads up👍🏼

[@andrewcrossman2165]

Wiha also has diagonal industrial vde plier that maybe you can tell me what the power button does on it. Im guessing its a leverage adjuster .

[@alpha42069]

this channel is sick. keep it coming sir

[@andrewcrossman2165]

I just got my vde NWS Diagonals- the look and feel are matched by nothing. But the functionality has yet to be seen

[@americanelectrician]

I had the same experience. I wish they cut better. The handles make me want to use them tho

[@andrewcrossman2165]

@@americanelectrician Oh damn really, I never used them yet?! Yeah it literally had yet to be seen on my end, granted the Felo counterpart, which looks of a hell of a lot like it, it's almost twice the price. I'm assuming that's the ticket if you want those pliers.

[@JackElectrician]

All Linesmen are Hammers 🛠️

[@tationut]

it’s what i use mine for or to cut off the ears on outlets so they fit in galvanized covers i don’t like cutting screws or not wires with my diagonals it’s what my lineman are for

[@americanelectrician]

Yessir

[@scottaddison8071]

Love Wiha

[@richmondstar4354]

16:00 minute mark….as far as I know they do VDE version of it. Knipex 13 76 200

[@morgizmo87]

"I cant stand dipped handles." Bro what?!

[@americanelectrician]

Can’t stand em

[@tationut]

where can you get a 7in knipex alligator with no handle if anyone knows link please

[@brettleist7563]

Like no grips? Why not just cut it off?

[@tationut]

@@brettleist7563 i tried with a pair and it’s impossible to get the hole rubber of any recommendations? or ideas?

[@americanelectrician]

I really meant the smaller versions. I haven’t seen a 7 inch pair yet

[@robertroberts721]

Awesome video

[@americanelectrician]

Much appreciated!

[@nas72glf]

What is on the side of your hat?

[@miguelalameda5492]

Probably a microphone

[@gamekingkiler]

Channellock???

[@americanelectrician]

The style of plier or the brand?

[@gamekingkiler]

@@americanelectrician Brand, good quality USA made

[@realrojo7145]

Knipex cutting tools are overrated compared to Klein, channellock, wiha and some other brands. The cobras, alligators and pliers wrench are 2nd to none but their cutting edge dulls to fast

[@JackElectrician]

First

[@americanelectrician]

You’re the goat🐐

[@abrahamben-zeev9142]

I will buy 28 of them back
