I think Ima pick up the pliers wrench I have to deal with brass fittings on the fly at times and I hate using something with teeth on em. That foot print and the quick slide action is a win win

[@homealone5087]

You get a lot more versatility and ease of use with the 125s for just a little size and weight penalty. I think it's worth it.

[@MrCthieke]

I've carried that exact set for years. Have them all day everyday. I have an old leather covered magnetic money clip that i use to keep them together in my pocket as well as to hold them on a metal surface

[@JAERepair]

I carry both at work daily and make quick work of rusted fittings or situations that require one to hold a bolt still while turning a nut.

I've got those Cobra pliers and love them. They come in handy. I've yet to get those Pliers-Wrench but they are on the list

[@ginopumadera4265]

I have the cobra and it’s a wonderful tool. I bet these would come in handy !!!

[@gtjack9]

They both have the same parallel capacity, but if you’re in a pinch and can apply enough force the arc pliers open slightly wider at an increased angle.

[@daddydojang]

I have the Cobras they are worth the money. Great little tool.

[@alexandern8hgeg5e9]

I carry my knipex cobra (the 5 inch /10cm cobra not the xs) attached to my keychain. The easiest way is to use a cord that snugly fits from the backside through the upper handle and then arround the lower handle. It stays closed and securely attached if the cord is just the right size.

[@Jordan__Sloan]

Millis you should get into mechanics tools like socket sets from Koken

[@garrettchurch604]

I got the mini cobras with the red grip

[@CorvetteTrev]

I would get the 5" with the button over the 4" and the 7" isn't too much bigger with a substantial amount more power, as in torque ability. I have them all. Leaving a 7" in your center console may not be a bad idea 💡

[@NPonlamuangsri]

So why should someone choose one over the other?

[@JoeRogansGutBiome]

Baby adjustable wrench for me

[@alfieakaronaldog]

I would have said that the silver one was a graduated adjustable spanner, not pliers 🔧

[@felipe29Technology]

To są szczypce i to bardzo silne. Jak ciągniesz w dół to się bardzo zaciskają i do tego nie niszczą powierzchni.

[@tdotw77]

They're called Pliers Wrench by Knipex their German manufacturer. It does all the adjustable 'spanner'(Crescent wrench) work, but does it better. The fact that you can squeeze the handle super tightly on fasteners is so very useful & also can open up fast to be able to quickly 'ratchet' back & forth. Unlike crescent wrenches that must be removed off nut\bolt each time & snugged up to tighten each turn. Both are useful but one is the better choice & #1 in quality!👌🏻👍🏻🔧🔩🛠️

[@Zeratsu]

is that "KC Tools" is a custom logo from a certain shop? Regular Cobra XS comes with no logo right?

[@AlexialexisD]

to cute😍🙂

[@baronamru5893]

The only drawback of those jems are lacking of cutting abilities. So I add a similar size swiss army knife.

EDC is getting wild folks. Hold up while I start edc carrying my toolbox next.

[@MillisConstruction]

[@camw6990]

My thing is... why are they 35-40 bucks? Pretty much the same as a 12 or 16 in

[@omarkharnivall2439]

Hah, here in japan they are 50usd on sale, if they were 40bucks would had definitely pulled the trigger a while ago.

[@tdotw77]

Because it's high quality German made tool, not a cheap, made in China, piece of garbage. Even the detailed teeth are hardened. These are precision enough to use as tweezers in a pinch(the jaws are that tight!)! In 2024, is $35-$40 really that much money? Yeah I agree that the 'size per $' a lil high but this is a tool that will never wear out, break, or fail. Only way it will be replaced is when it's lost\stolen! I carry a slightly bigger 125mm(~5") pair in a (hip)holster along w\ nice bright flashlight everyday and of course a knife clipped to pocket. You'd be surprised how often you need(or could use) a pair of pliers in your daily life. #EDC 👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧📏🔩

[@MetrologyEngineer]

A little bit small to be useful for me.

[@allaboutroofing2]

Who edcs pliars unless you are working? I just keep a tool set in my truck and it goes where ever I go.

[@Jordan__Sloan]

Everybody loves these, I haven’t bought one yet, it looks too small to get any leverage, the next size up is the best

[@MillisConstruction]

Definitely small. It’s nice to see the level of quality they’re able to maintain from the xxl to the xs sizes though. I really enjoy them. Thanks for checking it out!

[@internalharm]

Boy I been wondering where my plyer went, I need to open this 📦. Lol Really EDC, I think a Swiss army knife blows this EDC out of the water

[@MyUnquenchableThirst]

what can one do that the other couldn't. my gut tells me the cobra would be better at everything

[@simonh6371]

The Cobra has teeth so on a soft nut or bolt it could damage the head. The Pliers Wrench is smooth so it can't damage the head. But the Cobra is better as an EDC and costs about half the price.

[@tdotw77]

Yes, if picking just one for EDC, go Cobra 1st then add Pliers Wrench possibly in the future. Honestly the pliers wrench is only really useful if you're gripping the flats of soft (brass, copper, plastic) hex fasteners & trying to not harm the (chrome, plated)polished surface on finished faucets & trim pieces like that. Basically something you would use a crescent wrench on instead of 'channel locks'. I really don't see a reason to EDC a PW🔧 especially this small. The bigger 6" -8" PW are perfect though for a plumber or someone doing that kind of finish work. Personally I carry the 125mm Cobras along w\ f.light in a holster everyday. You'd be surprised when you need a pair of pliers. I much rather have these that can actually do work versus all those 100's of so-called multi-tools that break at the pliers head whenever you try to actually use them for pliers things!! 😅👍🏻👌🏻

[@foxwood67]

Cute but to small and expensive I prefer the 180 size in both you can get some purchase on these but not the easiest to EDC. 👍

😢They sell handle 'plasti-dip' so you can apply it at home, or put a couple layers of electrical shrink tubing in them. The next size up 125mm(5") does have the coating and they're also better sized imo, 4" is kinda small to work with, especially with large hands, the 125's are still small enough to EDC but can still do actual work, while still being precise enough to tweeze a sliver out! 🛠️🔧🔩👍🏻👌🏻
