Coin-Crushing Power: Knipex 400mm Plier Wrench. Now this is a Wrench! 3.5" Jaws. 16" long. 51oz!

[@rwbishop]

The big pliers wrench makes for a great small bearing/bushing field press!

[@spevakdesigns]

I've used a pair of them and some thicker flat bar steel chunks to do some bigger stuff and to get to spots I couldn't reach with a single pair. Such a versatile tool.

[@zakprice2128]

Love em for fuel lines on Peterbiltd

[@michaelthompson7570]

Great tool to store on the tractor,,,lots of uses,,,,thanks doc….

[@varpos]

I have a set of these and a big air source heat pump. They have been coming in very handy on a few of the massive glands and fittings it has. The heating company that installed it wanted to charge me a fortune just to come round and give one of them that leaked a twist (also because they said they needed to drain and depressurise the whole system). Bought this instead and saved myself loads of money and now a tool that payed for itself 3 times already... as it has since leaked again in a different spot.

[@thelred-ph3lq]

:/ I mean, yes, but it is best practice to flush with nitrogen, and pull a vacuum. You don't want humidity in the system.

[@varpos]

@thelred-ph3lq it was leaking glycol not air... maybe I should have specified that. So your comment does not apply I'm afraid.

[@thelred-ph3lq]

@@varpos That's what I get, for trying to be a smart ass. 😂

[@nickestes1839]

Their install leaked and they wanted you to pay for it? What a joke of a company.

[@stephensawyer3805]

I have the biggest one as well fabulous and did you know they have another one and its a 15 degree offset but can’t get my hand on one yet

[@TroyCraft]

imagine some hardened steel blades that slip over the jaws, and presto, bolt cutters.

[@nannesoar]

No fkin way I was not expecting him to crush it that way

[@karlmadsen3179]

I love Knipex. Their slogan should be: "Knipex means 'tool' in any language"

[@frankblack1481]

Lately I’ve been using my pliers wrench as a finish nail puller. The huge grip force and the curved back make it a terrific tool for that.

[@MrWesleyDP]

....Oh that's a great idea

[@k6ul]

Discovered these pliers wrenches when Knipex first came out with them. They get almost daily usage. They have so many more uses than simply replacing a wrench (I have wrenches for that job).

[@jordanrelkey]

I find the 300 mm are great for gripping onto, bending and manipulating sheet metals.

[@ToddAndelin]

Having a difficult time finding Knipex tools in store here in Salt Lake City, Utah. One electrical store on the west side has a few but thats about it...

[@nitsan]

I have the 5, 6, 7, 12 and 16 inch ones and they are my most used hand tools. One is always on me and a few on my work desk. Recently I'm also using their Twin Grip a lot.

[@bilakos1987]

Nice! Looks like just what I need. I just damaged the tip of my 250 pliers wrench trying to bend some evidently tough wire.

[@ProjectExMachina]

This makes sense in Serbian... Bilakos grabs the wire with 400 and menacingly mumbles "You want to be expensive to me" (Ti ćeš meni da budeš skupa)

[@joseg425]

DOC SMASH!! Love it!🤣

[@PrimeToolbox]

That's a lovable beast! Imagine what a 560mm version could do. It would be like a handheld hydraulic press.

[@kojot0976]

Have a feeling that Knipex is gonna come out with 500 version just to troll this man.

[@franktechmaniac7488]

I'd prefer a "350" version combining the head of the 300 and the handles of the 400 version. The head of the 400 is just too massive for narrow spaces.

[@creeplife2802]

Imagine someone messing with you, and you grab their finger

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Wow that looks nice! Thanks for the review!

[@MichaelBiebersWorld]

The PowerTorque GM8656 is an adjustable wrench that has a spring that allows you to rotate it on a bolt without removing it. I don't really recommend it, but it does exist.

[@nickestes1839]

I use these daily for large hydraulic hoses, up to -24 size. Its an awesome tool to have around.

[@chunkzyerith3199]

Man I’ve been waiting for this video thank you for the excellent video as always I have my 400 on the way

[@MFitz717]

The pliers wrenches don’t like being used as a hammer… but they are great. I love the cobras, just got the twin grips and haven’t had the chance to use them much yet

[@ka7ao]

This and the smallest one are the only two that I havent bought yet...I ve got all the cobra's

[@granitebuilt5836]

Nice!

[@aaronhaskins1571]

I own the 5, 7, two 10's, and two 16's. I use them every day at work, I especialy like the 16-inch pairs in conjuction with a cheater pipe for removing large hydraulic hoses.

[@brianmoore1164]

That's the only size I don't have. Looks like I will have to correct that! Remembering months ago all the people trying to tell me that they preferred the old style Cresent wrench. I told them then and still believe that they are just silly.

[@Set_your_handle77]

Also possible with the 180's...

[@MichaelMantion]

I think the quarters are still copper nickel. They just passed a bill to allow the mint to change the metals so its likely the coins will change soon.

[@atomicsmith]

I don’t need them, but now I want them….

[@sylviam6535]

The 400mm wrench is great for debt collecting. 😂😂

[@rwbishop]

That little battery powered gimmick would go in my box of loaner tools!

[@sp-vt4je]

😂😂 too true

[@ProjectExMachina]

I really don't need them but i need them

[@bluelude2001]

Welp, I will show my wife the quarter trick after I purchase these and justify the purchase that way lol “but babe look what they can do!”

[@ironmantooltime]

I'll be doing this tomorrow morning when my 150 and 300 arrive. Already have the cobra and pliars wrench xs 😎

[@spyross2391]

300mm works with euros easily

[@shallmaneser]

I can do it with the 125😁

[@forteandblues]

Was the electric wrench a joke or actually a good tool? Review that! I think it looks sweet

[@ironmantooltime]

Freaking awesome 😎

[@DavidWeinberg-cm9xd]

Have the 560 Cobra's and the 10" plier wrenches? Love them? Have a 24" Craftsman USA adjustable wrench for large stuff, but the flat jaws of the Knipex are great for not damaging fasteners? Good job, sir.

[@ironmantooltime]

Maybe Google how a question mark is used?

[@smashyrashy]

Well if I ever want to crush a lot of coins I know the right tool for the job but until that day I will pass.

[@streetographer]

It's strange they didn't print the jaw numbers on the side of the 400 like they do on the rest.

[@varpos]

indeed... I would like to have seen that for the price I paid for it 🤔

[@cwell2112]

The addition of the numbers was part of a redesign of some of the sizes a few years ago. They changed the forgings to remove a bit of weight too. I suspect they only invested in new tooling for the most popular sizes and the 400mm is still the original design.

[@VeniVidiVid]

So much for hard currency…

[@jpprovost64]

Do you think it’s can replace pipe wrench?

[@greekveteran2715]

Knipex Cobra can replace a pipe wrench. This model here can not. Check the Knipex Cobra.

[@sp-vt4je]

Knipex could have called it "The Coin Crasher". Missed opportunity...

[@jackof1]

**secret service has entered the chat**

[@grumbholt]

I'd listen to a podcast of you crushing stuff, and saying "Smash, Smash 🙂" 4:08

[@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589]

Defacing the currency is a crime (or is where I live). Didn't stop me as a kid tho'.

[@lastbesttool]

Only illegal if you try to use the defaced coins as money. In America you can burn and smash all the coin you want.

[@markifi]

uh oh. you're in trouble: "If you are convicted of damaging U.S. bills or coins, you may face fines, jail time, or both. For bills, the maximum fine is $100 and the maximum jail sentence is six months. For coins, the prison sentence can be up to five years." - 18 U.S. Code section 331 "To be convicted, you must intend to deceive someone." so maybe don't say your goodbyes to the family just yet.

[@simonwebb4829]

Uh oh. Your a sheep.

[@markifi]

@@simonwebb4829 baaaaaa

[@masoodamg6633]

👏👏👏👍👍

[@jonahbrady744]

There is an adjustable wrench that can do that same thing, slipping around on the back stroke. A wera joker adjustable, which operated on basically the same principle. I'm surprised you don't have one to be honest, with all the other odd stuff you seem to have haha

[@lastbesttool]

Do you mean this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fobUh2yua9R0iNU
