Knipex High Leverage Offset Nipper 61-02-200: When only a premium nipper/nail puller will do.

[@ChainSideTV]

Thanks to your channel I have finally made the plunge and got myself a 13 96 200. I thought maybe if I buy a nice multifunctional one, I won't have to buy any more in the future, but after opening the package and fiddling around with it for a bit I already knew I wanted MORE! Thanks for the content, really appreciate being able to see the functions of a tool before purchasing, and since you are a true afficionado I trust your opinions.

[@fjb9234]

This is absolutely my favorite Knipex pliers. I bought them to cut hundreds of roofing nails, they worked great for that but they also excel at pulling nails. I always have these in my tool bag and can’t imagine not having them.

[@kgashy]

I have a pair myself. These are the JUGGERNAUT of single-handed cutting pliers. Before owning these, I thought such cutting power was only available with larger tools or power tools. They're amazing!

[@revg2608]

My absolute favorite Knipex tools. I have plenty of Knipex tools and I mean plenty but this tool is a remodelers best friend!!! Nothing this tool can’t pull, cut, bend, hammer, you name it-claim it!!! I love this tool channel-keep the great tools coming “Doc out”

[@harveysmith100]

These are my have been my next Knipex purchase for a while. Just spent my budget on a three draw Systainer which is for various tools I own but also in my mind, I visualise these Knipex in the top draw. The more I see them demonstrated, the more I understand their value. Thanks for the video.

[@brianmoore1164]

I have had a set of these for a while and you are right. Serious power, serious cutting ability, and require so much less grip power to get the job done.

[@tomthompson7400]

they pull split pins mighty well too , had a pair for years and although I dont use them often , when you do reach for them they are mighty .

[@IsambardKingdom]

These high leverage 61 01 200 are what I now use for rural fencing - cutting 2.5 mm high tensile wire - pulling staples - twisting and cutting 2.5 mm tie wire - been farming and fencing for sixty years. Mine had the dipped in plastic grips - removed one so the handle can be used for twisting what we in Australia call a Queensland Hitch.

[@ThackaRS]

How do you find the dipped handles for a day of fencing mate?

[@IsambardKingdom]

@@ThackaRS the 61 01 200 cuts easily so little effort is required - so I find the handles good for all day -- I have also removed one of the dipped handles so that I can use the handle bare handle to twist up "Queensland Hitches". (sometimes called a Cobb n Co Hitch)

[@hobbes3]

As others says, these are absolutely my favorite plier-type tool. I use it mostly to cut thick wires and pull out nails (along with my cat's paw to start it), but it's really just a specialized bolt cutter with also a nail pulling capabilities.

[@deepshallows]

Fantastic video. Fantastic Tool. Picked one up even if i didn't need it but can see some use for it for sure. Cheers from down under!

[@rubenmadrid3154]

Now That I saw your video on this tool The many ways to use them. I will buy it I see now that I need these . Thanks for sharing!👍👍

[@wallebo]

Excellent demonstration. Thank you so much. I just bought a pair and am looking forward to them because of this video.

[@LilasTools]

These looks like a super versatile tool, I think I need them! 👍

[@fuloplehel]

I have the red plastic handle version, and is a very good tool. It cuts ceiling anchor rods very easily. Sometimes it is comparable with the mini bolt cutters. By the way I have the mini bolt cutters with angled head, similar with your side cutter. Have a nice day.

[@TrippLilley]

I haven’t used these, or seen them in person, so I’m speaking from conjecture based on what I can see here. It looks like the way the cutting / gripping edges meet the flat-ground side face would allow you to grab even shallower things (like that stubborn staple offcut) by putting them “sideways” with the ground side face down. From that position, you should be able to lift the fastener enough to allow a better grip.

[@lastbesttool]

Absolutely right.

[@ITALIA-333]

La stessa domanda mi facevo io. Grazie

[@Arthur-kq7qr]

I just received these today. They are incredibly powerful. Every wrench I've bought from knipex I always look for a 250mm length. But only found 200mm with this. I see why now. They cut through screws we use at work like butter. That pivot couldn't get any closer to the cutting head. Incredible leverage. Expensive... but buy once..cry once.. knipex quality is superior I've found.

[@lastbesttool]

Glad you like them. I love mine.

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again Doc Thank you for another Great Video.

[@michaelthompson7570]

Have this tool,,makes a great nail puller!

[@thomasgilbert9347]

Thanks for the information

[@dutch3000]

Great tool and ... nice watch, no safe queen. 🙂

[@chrisfyfe9212]

They make a Knipper with a strike face , it can fake it as a hammer ! Personally , I live in Hammer hell ( 6oz Crosspein , 8 oz Ballpein ( with a shortened handle ) , and a deadblow , paired with a jig and fixture plastic wedge . The thing I like about Pincers/ knippers is they offer you a choice , you can cut , or pull , and use a nail set . I always pair the pincers/ knippers with a piece of scrap leather . Ergo , no marking of surfaces !

[@BL-yj2wp]

The model number is 61 02 200 in case anyone is looking for it. Some shops have it listed the same incorrect way as the video title. I've had a bunch of side cutters, but never even used a front cutter, most of them have this weird shape where they can't properly cut things like cable. This seems like something worth a try though for sure, huge leverage and some added functionality. But they don't come cheap, even here in Germany these cost 34€, double of what I paid for the regular 74 01 200. And they are heavy, 435g, almost a pound.

[@lastbesttool]

Fixed it. Thanks.

[@HannesMrg]

I like the calippers in the background. Nice big display! What brand are they?

[@dummkompf]

61 01 200 would be the other handle style. The 3rd and 4th digits of the knipex part # are always 01 for dipped handles, and 02 for the chunky handles.

[@lastbesttool]

Thanks.

[@dummkompf]

@@lastbesttool np but to correct myself, it's only the 4th digit that tells you dipped vs chunky handle style. I guess the third digit is determined by the type of spring/lock mechanism on the handle, based on how the CoBolt's are numbered

[@GeoMak666]

Hey, is the cutting power and general durability as the 6101200 model? Thanks

[@shiniquajones2812]

I wonder how they would hold up to a number 8 screw? That’s what I’m needing

[@vpnguyen1]

Nice review. Also like the submariner

[@gplusgplus2286]

These look nice but pricey. I have a simple small one 6801160 and when cutting a nail (or was it a screw?) I managed to mangle the cutting edge... With that one and any standard nipper the main problem is as you said is the nail has nowhere to go if you try to pull it center.

[@greekveteran2715]

Does anybody know, if these cutters here, cut better (Easier) than the Cobolt cutters? Also, do their teeth chip as they sometimes do on the newer made Cobolt cutters? I'd really appreciate some feedback.

[@escaped7036]

How do you find these compare to the 10 inch cobolt bolt cutters in cutting/pressure on the work piece?

[@keithnowicki2105]

I have a number of nails poking through the ceiling of my cabin courtesy of my roofer. I need to flush cut them to hopefully improve their appearance. Would I be better off using a nipper or an angled side cutter?

[@lastbesttool]

Might want to check the depth of nail first. The nails in many roofing jobs should actually stick through and then some. It holds the roof in place. If you nip them there is less holding the shingles? on meaning they could blow off easier. And as for the trimming, both tools will get is short enough to avoid serious injury. A quick grind on the remaining stub and you would be safe from scratches.

[@georgecroney6168]

An angle grinder would save you a lot of work, nipping one nail is no problem, nipping 500 will take all day and leave you with blistered hands and sore forearms

[@muxmurki1497]

They can pull nails or staples of course, but are not primarily made for that.

[@espressomatic]

sold!

[@AK-IT]

Can this be used to remove car panel clips like push pin clips?

[@DownHillgamer]

Still waiting to receive my regular end nippers. Got a few different knipex packages coming actually, very exited lol lots of stuff I really don't need for the house, maybe some will migrate to the shop but I would like to get my hands on these bad boys or the 8 inch cobolts here soon

[@fitter70]

Does anyone have experience with cutting Oetiker circle clamps with these pliers? I think they would work excellently.

[@dre3951]

Lighting would be a nice improvement to this video.

[@gienekboskonovic7664]

No it is not designed for pulling nails out. I just learned that from Knipex.

[@PhreakDarkSoul]

It is 6*1* 02 200.

[@lastbesttool]

Got it. Thanks for the catch.

[@elliotkane4443]

Nips are a common construction tool, ubiquitous with steel fixers, general laborers and anyone using tie wire. I think thats probably the vast majority of what they're used for. Not pulling nails.

[@waltkosch]

Just get rid of all your tools and replace with Knipex. Has anything beat the knipex in your tests? Seems like every time Knipex seems to come out on top in it's class.

[@rickc2078]

Too rich for my toolbox.

[@shawnp8878]

Back in my day, they were called "posers". You find them in places where one must develop skills over time with equipment far more valuable than their skillset. They have high dollar equipment with but skills not worth a dime.

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

@@shawnp8878 Not in my experience, I've been a carpenter/joiner/cabinet maker for twenty-five years. If I see someone with cheap throw away tools then that says to me this man has zero interest in his trade. It's just a job to him and he's solely involved in it for the money. On the other hand if I see someone with top notch kit then that is someone with a passion for his craft and has real interest in it. I try to avoid the former type and embrace the latter.

[@shawnp8878]

@@Toyotaamazon80series In your experience, tools speak more than skills? Interesting. In my experience, skills pay the bills, and people that possess them, pride themselves on using as little as possible, because one knows not only the cost, but value.

@@Toyotaamazon80series I'm not sure what jobs you work, but I'm trying to think of a time where someone's tools speak to their actual work. Probably the last thing I'm looking for.

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

@@shawnp8878 No, that's not what I said. I buy the best kit because I know it won't let me down when I really need it. I'm not cheap because I don't do cheap work. My craft and my tools are my life, it's like a religion to me.

[@Callelle6251]

Meh, over priced like every thing knipex makes, not really worth for a quarter inch extra space to the side compared to a normal set.

[@shawnp8878]

Doesn't every DIY'er have a 6 figure tool collection? I've got my Amazon cart filled after seeing doc fumble with these things. Super high leverage for staples and finishing nails that are too stubborn for just any nipper.

[@BL-yj2wp]

Overpriced? Sure, they are twice the price of the regular 74 XX 200, but 34€ isn't too bad when looking at other tools professionals buy to increase productivity (or quality of life) ever so slightly. A home gamer using this once in a blue moon just isn't the target audience.
