I just got an extra large pair of pliers wrench 16 inch and that got me to a union fitting that I could not get my pipe wrench on due to bolts that were too close to it this union fitting, it fit right in there and got that thing loose when nothing else could. Knipex for the win!

[@Pantology_Enthusiast]

To the doubters: yes, you can break a bolt like that. There are different grades of bolts with wildly different strengths. It's actually fairly easy to shear a lower grade bolt when you've got a foot of leverage on it. You can take a guess that he's leaning into the turn and making 200lb of force at 12 inches, that's a 7/16 bolt, so about 4000lb rotational torque on the bolt shaft. I don't see lines or markings on it so it's a lower end bolt. If the bolt had a six lines on the head above each corner, it would be a grade 8, the type normally used on wheels and mounts. A grade 8 is not breaking like that.

[@Robs-shop]

I might have to try that 🤔

[@vzgsxr]

Torque is a rotational force applied at a distance, and 1 foot pound of torque is 1 pound of force applied at a 1 foot distance from the centre of the object being rotated. So if this guy was 200lb and could exert an additional 100lb by pushing, this would total 300lb, and his pliers are 12 inches (or 1 foot). He would be applying 300 foot pounds of torque. How did you come up with 4000lb of torque? This guy isn't putting out any more than about 400 foot pounds of torque.

[@alexhart15]

​@@vzgsxrI think you have to divide by 1/2 bolt diameter to get torque at steel face?

[@matthewnorris203]

I’m soo tempted to just buy these

[@DDayDark]

Well, the reason they are good is the way it clamps. They act like a lever at the jaws creating a reduction = more force, the only con that I see with them the range of movement with each adjustment so you need to be more exacted to get it to clamp but when they clamp down it's with a lot of force more than what you're outputting with your hand.

[@c3h50n023]

When I show how tight and how much force are in there I give someone the cobra grip and a paperclip and ask them to flatten the end of the paperclip. then i give them the pliers and ask them to do the same thing. The pliers always flatten the paperclip the grips don't. Personally I love these knipex pliers

[@Robs-shop]
