@@kenzothiazepine Thanks for the great video and follow-up with your preference. I have the 250mm cobra and pliers wrench. For EDC I've been torn between 100 and 125. You're the third person I've seen who prefers the XS design, and that's the last bit of assurance I needed before purchase. Thanks again!

I love these little pliers. They are EDC for me most days in combo with a SAK, when a large multi tool is too much, which is most days.

I just got the 150 pliers wrench with the 125 cobras, with the basically free pouch, which I plan to put both pliers in my 7 in belt pouch, for when I am going on long bike rides or long motorcycle rides. I keep first aid stuff and a few other tools in the pouch currently, so I think these additional pliers with my Leatherman will help me overcome most things that could go wrong. I have been looking at all the different sizes and I think the 6 inch ones would help me the most with my plumbing side work and with bicycle and motorcycle maintenance and repairs. I still might get these smaller ones for pocket carry, or just carry the 125 cobras in my pocket. It's awesome that such a small tool could undo a axle nut on a bicycle. Thanks for the video.

I would say the 250 is the standard size according to Knipex. I dont have such a tool yet and plan to buy only one, so i think the 250 is the correct size for me for most situations at home.
@Spanky84027 ай бұрын
@danbarb9728 yeah, the smaller ones won't grab onto drain pipes but I got the smaller ones to carry with me and the smaller ones are awesome for getting into the tight spots for faucet replacement though. I have bigger 7 inch and 12 inch pliers for bigger pipes and I mostly wanted some smaller pliers for bicycle riding and tough, tight situations that I am always dealing with.

20-25 Nm comfortably by hand. I added a 150mm stainless steel extension bar and achieved 95 Nm, starts to cam out after this.

Nice demo, I think a small piece of tubing / extension on the one handle would also help!

They are excellent and have displaced my little 100mm Bahco adjustable from my go to tool bag. But they may as well be made of unobtanium, they are extremely difficult to source in the UK and the prices are hiked way high, I've seen up to over £75. So if you want one I suggest waiting til the price comes down to reasonable levels. As for the bigger ones Knipex have hinted that the buttonless mechanism is going to find its way onto those too.

Great test, thanks…! But you didn’t test the cobra xs mini…? 15 mm rear axle bolts are one major requirement for me…. Despite the popularity of fixies, it’s bizarre that there’s almost no 15mm wrenches out there…. I have a Pedro’s, but it’s a one trick pony….

How about the cobra? It seems more versatile and also has flat edges to grip a hex nut. I'm a little worried about rounding the bolt, but it seems like the ridges wouldn't make a lot of contact with the bolt

The Cobra is a tube plier, thats how we call it here in germany, its made for tubes only, thats why it has the teeths. The tool in this video is for hex nut, the cobra would rounden a hex nut over time. I have more use in such a hex tool compared to a tube plier.

Are they thin enough to disassemble a wheel hub? As usually, it requires a special wrench.

Those small ones are not worth the money, and compared to the normal size ones, they are useless
@PhreakDarkSoul2 жыл бұрын
Those small ones are worth the money if it comes to weight and size limitations. No one buys such a tiny tool for regular usage. I also have a few Leaterman tools, but they are only in case of "emergency", e. g. during holiday. They all find a nice place in my car, together with other portable tools like the Wiha System 6 281T11 screwdriver set (for screws that can not be reached or do not fit to the Leatherman or any similar multi tool). It is always better to have compact tools, which are a little bit harder to use, instead of having no tools at all with you. A set of Knipex XS Wrench and Cobra pliers, combined with any not to small Leatherman multi tool and a screwdriver set like the above mentioned Wiha set will save your day for sure. For me they are all worth the money and far away from useless. And yes, I used my Leatherman Juice XE6 a lot in such situations already.
