5 Knipex Tools You Can't Live Without

[@Stefan_Stoilov]

I like watching Americans that appreciate the quality of Knipex tools.

[@SusiesRepeat]

This Kiwi appreciates Knipex tools, have used them in my job for 30 plus years.

my boss gave me a pair of the 7 inch pliers wrench and they havent left my pocket since, they've done me more favors than any multi tool ever has.

[@coolbugfacts1234]

Another fantastic thing about the cobras and pliers wrench is you don't need to squeeze them, they get clamping pressure just from the top handle

[@jackmclane1826]

The comfort grips are the same plastics as the VDE. So it is also the same insulation. It is just not certified. And it does not have the higher barriers so that it is easier to slip and touch a metal part in the front.

Great video and tools, I love the knipex tools, I have a lot of them, including scissors, utility knife, pipe cutters. The little stepcut cable shears are my favorite too.

[@chrisfyfe9212]

Good call on the Knipex stuff ! Worth their weight in Gold !

[@iangregoryhome]

Great video, my favourite is the Knipex Notching Pliers 250 mm awesome wouldn't be without them.

[@jeffwolf8018]

I love my 22 inch Cobras. If a plumbing fitting fights me I never have seen them fail me and huge 4 inch pipes not an issue for them

[@timothywhieldon1971]

and yet i am living, i don't think im going to live better or not keep living with or without them.

[@mikegraham7078]

Your #2 selection... the little shears. I have those, which I got to replace a pair of the regular non-toothy little shears. These things cut like nobody's business, but they do have one restriction - they're kind of just for cutting. The non-toothy ones I would use for stripping cable and larger conductors (#8 and up until they won't fit in the jaws) and it worked fantastic. The toothy one can't fit as big a conductor when you're coming at it side-on... you have to slide it over the cut end of a big cable. So I love the toothy ones for cutting cable, but I love the non-toothy ones for breaking down and stripping cable.

Bacho pliers are the goat for me . Can’t say anything bad about the knipex cobra though except in tight spaces I don’t like the button on the side. I’m a spark though so don’t know if plumbers get the same issues😅

[@leealtmansr.3811]

Love my Knipex Tools. Great video 🎉

[@jakeok741]

loving all the videos, upgrading all my tools to knipex pliers and investing in ways to save space because of your videos.

[@nathanaelworthy1071]

No experience with these whatsoever, but if love to see you test some of the above suggestions, as well as maybe the knipex siphon pliers and hose clamp pliers perhaps?

[@LuminairPrime]

Angled bolt cutter is runner up!

[@americanelectrician]

They are so so good!

[@curonelectricity]

I like your video ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Veau88]

Being a union tinner, i use gripples every day… the knipex wire rope cutters are amazing and cut as well as the first day i got them

[@search_eternal]

I have a couple of the Alligator ones and they are nice. I have a couple of the Doyle knock off Cobra style pliers from Harbor Fright and they are nice and work well.

[@-_Robert_-]

this 95 12 160 cable scissors exist with spring?

[@ZeroThaHero666]

Their electronics snips/flush cuts/whatever you wanna call them kick ass too, at 5.5" they actually fit man hands unlike the teeny little flush cuts from Klein

[@JackElectrician]

Awesome Video!!!

[@mufc99ok]

Knipex are the best

Knipex is the goat

[@JacobB-f9m]

Could u make a video on how to become an electrician

[@mikegraham7078]

I should point out that I am a big fan of Knipex, and I have probably 14 or so tools made by them. However, I am also a big fan of Milwaukee, and the Milwaukee high-leverage (7") 7-in-1 multi-purpose pliers have many of the same features of the multi-purpose Knipex pliers that you showed, but they will strip #10 stranded wire. They have a nice wide shear (which honestly doesn't open far enough to really cut anything thicker than a primary school pencil, but they are wide so you could cut #10-2 romex in one go. These also have a crimper on them, but it's pretty big. You won't be crimping onto #18 with these, that's for sure. They have lanyard holes (two of them) in case you work at heights. The gripping end is good and wide, but it has regular lineman's plier grips, without the slip-joint-type opening. Anyway, these are the best multi-purpose pliers that I have yet discovered.... and I have probably 8 of them from different manufacturers, including 3 other Milwaukee ones and some Klein ones and, indeed, two Knipex ones including the installation pliers that you show in your video.

[@craigbraswell4269]

The strippers' head is AMAZING for pulling wire, I actually lobe the head design personally. I own a slew of knipex tools and kleins. The knipex on average is a much better tool. Other techs ask me why I buy such expensive hand tools and I tell them that I use them everyday, so why not?. Buy a tool for life, not a year or 2.

[@Karfiphiftiphor]

Hold them still will ya. Can't get a good look at them. Gosh darn it!

[@americanelectrician]

Sorry man. We’ve gotten a lot better with camera stuff recently

[@edp9811]

I have none of these and I'm still alive and kicking

[@miket2172]

For now.. ⚠️ lol

[@HCheatNcool]

Get you some! I really like the pliers wrench. Got the harbor freight knock offs and the real deal

[@Tamperkele]

You might be alive but can you really call it living?

[@edp9811]

@@Tamperkele yes, most certainly

[@marcosacevedo4010]

Its a joke?

[@ironmantooltime]

I'm sorry what, knipex is all for his glory? He really needs that? 😮

[@adamstevens9196]

K-nipex 😂 k-nife k-night

[@Blizzard4242]

It's actually not the right way to pronounce Knipex (it's actually more like "knee-pex" but with the "k" being pronounced as well), I watched a video where someone who works at Knipex gets asked how it's pronounced and he also admits that some people did pronounce it wrong on social media. It's in German, but maybe there are subtitles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHrLc6h-p5qdqq8si=qeRz7R16mqZHny8p

Dang, dude has a job and pays his own money to make the job potentially easier and faster. You don’t see that on the RYOBI aisle!
