Hey Gus, Just been looking at these today!!! I’d say these are a fantastic addition to a edc or car based kit. I think they’re great value for money too! Definitely going to pick some of these up. Fantastic video, hope you’re well brother 😎🙏🏻

[@gadgetgus]

Brother Sean 🫂 They are surprisingly good value, for the quality, so will last a long time 👌 Glad you enjoyed the video buddy - speak soon, ATB Gus 👍

[@gazfm9422]

I bought a set of these about 12 months ago - I have only used them a few times but they certainly do the job - small and mighty

[@gadgetgus]

Hey buddy 💪 Agreed, they punch well above their weight 👊 I'm glad you enjoyed the video 👌 Thanks for watching, ATB Gus 👍

[@chepo1956]

I got them recently and also the 5" Knipex. Nice set of pliers and they are easy to carry around.

[@gadgetgus]

Hey buddy 👊🏼 I'm glad you got a pair, I still need to review the 5" ones 😉 Thanks for stopping by, ATB Gus 🍻

[@Kekaula100]

Happy New Year, Gus! Excellent vid as always. I have both this and pliers wrench which resides in different pouches and is used it nearly on a daily basis. Extremely minimalistic, well made, and invaluable for EDC carry.

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Gerry 👊 Happy New Year 🍻 Long time, no hear... Thanks, I appreciate your positive feedback, buddy 👌 I second your thoughts, they're both great EDC tools 🔧 Glad you enjoyed the video, ATB Gus 👍

[@thevineclimber]

Good video! I have one of those pliers but rarely carry it. I think now I have an opportunity to carry it at work though.

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Anne 🌻 Thank you, always appreciate your take on my content, especially as I value your opinion. Yes, I only realised that you had one after I recommended you get one, lol 😊 I should have known you'd get one a while back, but hey 😉 It's an awesome EDC, though I'm going to look at the 125 & 150 this month as well - stay tuned... Be well, ATB Gus 👍

[@Practical_EDC]

Great video as always Gus! 🌷

[@gadgetgus]

Cheers, buddy 🍻 I really appreciate that 🫂 I shall be finally uploading my response to your overall lightweight EDC video in another month or so - sorry about the time... I am working on my backlog of content, and yours is coming, my friend 🍻 I hope you & your family are well 🙏 Shabbat Shalom 🕯🍷 God bless you, brother, ATB Gus 👍

[@Practical_EDC]

@@gadgetgus Thank you so much brother! ❤️

[@Robert_Thomas832]

Strange looking SAK 🤔 seems a solid 🇩🇪 tool. Good review Gus 👊 Hope 2024 is good to you.

[@gadgetgus]

Robert 😁 Indeed, it is, but well worth the investment 👌 Appreciate the positive feedback 💪 And also for you, buddy 🫂 ATB Gus 👍

[@frankhinkle5772]

Good review. I'm impressed by them.

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Frank 👊 Appreciate the positivity, buddy 💪🍻 Thanks for stopping by, ATB Gus 👍

[@singingtoad]

You can't beat a proper pair of pliers when you need them, some multitools just fall short on that regard sometimes. Thanks for sharing, take care and Cheers!

[@gadgetgus]

Hey buddy 👊 Absolutely right, the XS is amazingly effective for their size 👌 Glad you enjoyed it, ATB Gus 👍

[@SturleyArt]

Can't go wrong with the Knipex Cobra XS. I carry a pair in my EDC pouch all the time. Great video mate.

[@gadgetgus]

Cheers, buddy 🍻 Appreciate you stopping by and getting your feedback 👌 I'm glad you enjoyed the video, ATB Gus 👍

[@RandysWSG]

Really great addition to you EDC my friend!

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Randy 👊 Appreciate that, my friend 🍻 Well, it's third time lucky, I actually got to review them, as quite often I give stuff away before, I even get to review it... with birthdays, special occasions, etc... 😉 Thanks for stopping by, brother. ATB Gus 👍

[@bladeinwales]

Hey Gus , great look at the K knipex ! Been in the trade all my life and never heard anyone pronounce the K ! I noticed you did and on YT most people do . Who knew ? Got quite a bit of Knipex kit and rate it . Have'nt got these but been meaning to pick some up . We always used to call this type of tool a water pump pliers but you don't seem to hear the term anymore . Great to see the young fella in action ........your boy ? 🙃 Always enjoy your knife videos , but nice to see you doing other stuff as well , A T B Tony . 🐴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@gadgetgus]

Top man, Tony 🍻 Always appreciate getting your take on my content, buddy 🫡 Same here... been in the trade, since 16 officially and unofficially, since 10. I'm 55 in March, so nearly 40 years 'on-the-tools'! 😳 with the last 5 years teaching building trades. I still call them water pump pliers, when I'm talking with my peers, same with feet & inches, but then metric with the younger generations and students. ⬇️ You're very kind T, no that's most definitely me, six years ago! 🤪 Be well, ATB Gus 👍

[@bladeinwales]

By the by Gus , maybe something you don't do , but I can't recall a video of yours on pouch contents ..........steady ! I , for one , would find it fascinating to find out what a fellow " tooly " carries ! 🐴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@gadgetgus]

@@bladeinwales It will happen... over the next few months, my friend 😉 Be well, brother 🫂

[@Carltheviking]

Great vid Gus. I do like Knipex, Back when i used to work as a maintenance engineer i loved my knipex side cutters and they are still going strong in my tool roll today which is 20 or so years after i bought them. I think that was the only knipex tool i have but I'll look into these as a smaller set to go with my larger Bahco ones, these days its only the odd diy job for myself or family members.

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Carl 👊 Thanks buddy, always appreciate you stopping by! 🫡 Great feedback, my friend 💪 I also have Bahco, water pump pliers, spanners, etc - similar mindset, great minds, and all that 😁 I think it's safe to say we both know a good tool when we see one! 😉 Be well, brother, Skol 🍻

[@TimsSchoolOfFish]

Good stuff as always mate👊🏻

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Tim 👊 Glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate you taking the time to comment, thanks 💪 Be well, ATB Gus 👍

[@TimsSchoolOfFish]

@@gadgetgus You’re welcome my friend 👊🏻

[@MB_EDC]

Hey Gus. How do you manage to beat me to topics that I have planned for videos??! I am a huge fan of the Cobra XS. Only last night I was using them to adjust radiator valves throughout my house. I have added some shrink sleeve to the handles partly too make them more comfortable and to make them easier to find.

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Mark 👊 Sorry buddy... that also happens to me sometimes with other KZbinrs 🤪 Personally, I wouldn't use them on bleed values, only if absolutely necessary. The embedded photo in the video was to demonstrate their accessibility. It's always worth getting a brass 'winged' bleed key, for that - link below ⬇️ WZ Radiator Bleed Key- Radiator Valve Clock Key for Bleeding and Air Vent- Made of Solid Brass- Pack of 2 amzn.eu/d/dWzjsWE I have added shrink sleeves to quite a few things. However, I personally enjoy the aesthetics of the checkered handles 😉 I'm glad uou enjoyed the video, my friend, ATB Gus 👍

[@MB_EDC]

@@gadgetgus Hi Gus. I have a brass bleed key. This was just to adjust the Lockshield valves trying to balance the radiators. Worked out well. They are so small though..I thought I had lost them and then found them in my pocket. I might get there 125mm version too

[@gadgetgus]

@MB_EDC I've just ordered the 125 & 150, myself! Which of course I shall review, and then compare. Enjoy brother 🫂 ATB Gus 👍

[@MB_EDC]

@@gadgetgus I look forward to the reviews! Take care!

[@paulsmith380]

They work nicely on crab legs also! 🦀

[@gadgetgus]

Paul 👊 I bet they do 😁 with the amount of torque you can get on these, I agree... You'll have easy access to that lovely, meaty, crab craw 😋 Thanks for stopping by, ATB Gus 👍

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

They make awesome tools. Great video 👍

[@gadgetgus]

Jeremy 💪 Thanks buddy 🍻 They certainly do 😉🔧 ATB Gus 👍

[@tomt5745]

Would be perfect for the bowl of christmas nuts with them triangular brazil nuts ;)

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Tom 👊 Absolutely right ✅️ Those triangular nuts have got a lot to answer for! 😁 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🍻 Be well, ATB Gus 👍

[@tomt5745]

@@gadgetgus But, annoing enough, these pesky nuts are the tastiest. And with a brick or hammer its just a mess all over the kitchen floor ;)

[@gadgetgus]

@@tomt5745 true, true 😂

[@elanrhys3178]

I carry one of these in my wallet they are so small! Along with a super tinker instead of my leatherman wingman

[@gadgetgus]

Hey buddy 👊 That is a good combo, for sure 👌 The Alox Bantam & Cobra XS could probably both fit in a wallet, which is what I'm going to try to do as a minimalist EDC, with a main SAK in my car, as back-up or to switch up, if I'm outdoors... Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it, buddy 🍻 Be well, ATB Gus 👍

[@weejud4542]

Gus - as you may be aware the guilt has become too much of a burden for me and I would like to pass the infamous Case Canoe onto you my friend. Between you and me I could’ve lived with myself if it wasn’t for the endless grief I’m getting from everyone else 😂. Do me a favour and let me have your address so I can send it on to you.

[@gadgetgus]

Brother Justin 🫂 If you're really sure, I would be more than happy to do that, my friend 🍻 I wish you well & God bless 🙏 ATB Gus 👍
