Knipex EDC Belt Set! Cobra & Pliers Wrench Belt Pouch

[@Ivlodded]

Just got this plier set and wont ever go anywhere without it. I just added a flashlight, screwdriver with bits, Martor knife, and a long but thin lighter. I even got my Wera Zyklop with me on which the bits fit too. I just love this set.

[@leonpowers8762]

I bought this set as well and I really like them. It is very handy. I also bought another set like it that come with side cuts. You can not go wrong with any of these tools

[@Kleiner_Lutz]

I have owned this set for a couple of years now. At first I was getting weird looks and stupid jokes like "what, couldn't afford a full size tool?" But while being small, those tools are actually quite capable and useful, especially when working in tight spaces

[@MillisConstruction]

Yes they are! Even their smaller XS models are surprisingly useful

[@Kleiner_Lutz]

@@MillisConstruction I own the cobra xs too (love knipex tools) but I have to say I prefer the push button operated 5in model. Because when working in tight spaces without seeing what you're doing (e.g. in toilet water cisterns) you can accidently push the xs closed and have to adjust it again, which is especially bothersome if you can only fit one arm in through a tight opening

[@strangetamer69x]

I’m going to get the Knipex Cobolts with the notched blades & angled head. My favorite German tool I have right now is my Wera 1/4” drive speed zyklop ratchet metric set.

[@BL-yj2wp]

In Germany they actually sell different sets in these pouches, a Cobra plus side cutters or Cobra plus combination pliers for example. Although if you don‘t need the pouch the regular sets are still the better deals. A three piece set of 250mm Cobras plus side cutters plus combination pliers is about the same price as those simple pouch sets, whereas every set with pliers wrenches is more expensive of course. Love my pliers wrench, but man they never come cheap. And I too prefer the regular dipped handles over textured because the textured one are impossible to clean when they get oily.

[@MillisConstruction]

I bet within a week I’ll have matched sizes and handles in this setup for me. It would definitely fit my work style better! I don’t wear belt pouches much but I really wanted to check this one out.

[@chrisfyfe9212]

@@MillisConstruction Yep !

[@nitrorc4life1]

I make my own leather belt slips for mine, much more streamlined so I don’t catch things as walk, shuffle, squeeze through.

[@user-zz8ln3uh5x]

Great little tools that punch above their weight. I keep both in my back pocket.

[@davycrockett4051]

Looks perfect for what I do at the factory as a welding technician! Basically these and hex keys will take care of 90% of my tool requirements. Everything I have to get to is a tight fit and these look perfect! It will be nice to not have my pockets filled with pliers and wrenches! Sadly I asked for them for Christmas so I gotta wait haha

[@jamesmck896]

Did u get it? If so how are they?

[@j-sonS]

Just got these today. They seem great. I put a pen on the side, a mini Leatherman on the other side and also shoved In a small bit set with ratchet

[@martinhyde4835]

Hi Josef, I have the 180mm (7 inch) size cobras and pliers wrench in my knipex pouch and it works great. The belt clip works well too. Had to buy them separately though, not as a set. Martin

[@MillisConstruction]

The 180 mm I think are the most universally useful size of those that I have found as well. Great set!

[@boothbrave]

I’ve had a leathermen on my side for yrs then a veto tp1 for my walk abouts as a maintenance tech. This seems like a nice balance between the two. Thanks for the review

[@three-phase562]

Handy little tool set, could keep some clipped to the outside of a main tool box to take with you for little jobs.

[@chrisfyfe9212]

Nice set , I’ve been shlepping a pouch containing a 125mm plierwrench, a 125mm Cobra , and a Stilletto Ti. Prybar . When I get my hands on one , I plan to build another kit based around the 100mm, and 100 plierwrench , once I get a 100mm Plierwrench ! My set up is of course leather , and has put about 5 years of service !

[@MillisConstruction]

Your setups are awesome 😎

[@AlongtheRiverLife]

This set is great! I've had it and use it frequently!

[@Themobilegearhead]

A pretty nice set.

[@cerealkiller4248]

I have the 86-03-125, the 86-03-180 on the way to compliment my 86-03-300. Why don’t Knipex do these 3 as a kit, it’s a shame, buying individually works out expensive. I used the 300 on a chrome TMV3 valve in a swimming pool last Friday, it removed a very tight nut with no slippage, no damage to the nut and it came out easily. As I didn’t have access to a vice I thought I had had it when I saw how much sealant had been used on the initial install, no worries, the 300 took it out with ease and all I had to hold it was the floor 😎 Awesome

[@mrallan8063]

Since the case is elastic, you can actually fit three tools.... such as a pair of cutters, needle nose, or smaller linemans pliers.

[@michaelpayne8102]

I added a small pair of Knipex side cutters to mine, Cobra/Mini Pliers/Side Cutters = Ready most anything.

[@mrallan8063]

@@michaelpayne8102 I swap include cutters or a needle nose w cutter, just depends what I'm working on. But keep the pliers wrench and Cobras as a starting point.

[@aonghusofaolain8686]

Would twin grips fit in there with the cobra and pliers wrench?

[@MrCaptainNObeard]

Just found your channel. Great stuff!

[@MillisConstruction]

Welcome! We’re always working on improving 😊 What kind of work do you do?

[@corygriffiths4394]

I decided to go with the 7 and a half inch Knipex Cobra’s instead of the 5 inch ones because I can fit the bigger pair in my pocket since I just wear carpenter jeans and to with the little bigger pair you get more leverage I just love them.

[@MillisConstruction]

Absolutely agree. The 180 mm ones are my all time favorite size. I keep those in my pants pocket

[@tedmcdonald3377]

Josef that is a nice set😎🛠️😎🛠️😎

[@MillisConstruction]

Thanks Ted!

[@realstaceylewis]

Can’t beat Knipex

[@MillisConstruction]

True Story! Thanks for watching 😁

[@chrisfyfe9212]

One tip ,keep a short piece of scrap pex ,to slide onto the handle of the Cobras, and Plierwrench . A good source of extra leverage ! Weighs nothing !

[@Just_Putzin_Around]

Bought this recently, can’t for the life of me figure out why they went with the 125mm cobra. Way too small for the pouch, rattles around. Bought the 150mm cobras, they fit like a glove and it’s uniform with the pliers wrench

[@greekveteran2715]

Since Cobras, can do the job of the pliers wrenches, I carry only my Cobra 150 or 180 paired with the Knipex Bolt cutter 160 size! That's way better more versatile comb!!!

[@IsraelMagalit]

Do you reckon I can squeeze in a folding utility knife (Milwaukee Fastback) in with those 2 in that pouch?

[@aonghusofaolain8686]

On the side of the pouch it looks like

I bought the Xmas Kit , basically contained a pocket knife , 125 Cobra , I ended up giving the 125 Cobra to my Step Son in Law ( he’s quite I’ll , and needed a “ pick me up ) “ . He played with it for several hours ,

[@MillisConstruction]

I’ve been looking at that several times but I can’t decide, with this kit here I have the belt pouch already, it’s the same right? I’d just need to add the knife?

[@chrisfyfe9212]

@@MillisConstruction Yep , the knife is OK for wire skinning , I’m mostly carrying an Olfa cutter , a pack of spare blades , a 125 Plierwrench , a 125 mm Cobra ( chrome ) . Still got room for more ! Build quality is very high ! Keep

6 and 7 " which one to go for all around house works thx

[@MillisConstruction]

The 180 mm (7 inches) is my favorite all around personally

[@rothlive]

High us price. In Germany it costs 59 euros about 69 USD on Amazon germany.

[@MillisConstruction]

Have you priced Klein in Germany lol, it’s the same deal 😅 here it’s cheap

[@TheUKSpark]

I've been looking at them also. Think you have just sold them to me. Great content as always 👏 👌 👍

[@MillisConstruction]

Thanks UK! My only wish is that the Cobra was the same size (150) and had the slick grips. I really like those style

[@TheUKSpark]

150 is a real nice size. I'm all about the 180's. That set would be perfect on my belt.

[@BL-yj2wp]

@@TheUKSpark The 180mm size seems like the best combination between ergonomics, practicality and capability. Although nothing beats a very large set of Cobras when every attempt at peaceful negotiation with the workpiece has failed :)

[@jts4233]

I also like the regular dipped slick handles best on my Knipex pliers wrench - to even improve the feel of the handles I treat all my hand-tools with a clean cloth after I sprayed the whole tool with ballistol - it makes metal feel a bit towards organic so the Knipex pliers become a part of your hands - I feel the joy every time I fetch my Knipex - and I don't want to be cured from that #KnipexLove 😀 Btw Please make sure you read the ballistol story from KCtools - this organic oil recipe is soo good for almost everything you can even cure plastic objects with it after they were left in the UV radiation of the sun for too long and got pale! Just my2ct, with best wishes.

[@chrisfyfe9212]

If you ever want a custom set up , it would be fun to make ! Hit me up !

[@MillisConstruction]

We should do that 😁 They’d probably appear in a video and then you might have to make more of them than you planned on lol

@Millis Construction works for me , I like spreading happiness . I’ll have to bring you up to date on my 90% screwdriver set up . Designed to be worn crossdraw , with pliers being worn on the right hip .

Knipex definitely isn’t cheap but their quality is pretty near unmatched. Do you use any German made tools?

But is your wife happy with your tool sets ? I know my wife doesn't want to look at my vast empire of tools.

It was an issue a little back when I first started in the trade, now though she really doesn’t even notice anymore. Definitely doesn’t mind at all, the new thing is all the camera and audio gear that I have to get for the channel to keep improving, that’s been a new hurdle lol

[@vadimtyutyunnik353]

If only you make money in your family you are the financial director and you decide how many tools your family needs. If you have separate finances why would she care.
