Knipex vs Channel Lock - FULL Comparison

[@corygriffiths4394]

One thing I noticed between the Knipex and Channelocks is whenever you grab a hold of a bolt head the Knipex handles aren’t spread out as far as the Channelocks which actually gives you better leverage whenever the handles aren’t spread out as far.

[@selgoog8251]

My brother lost his ability to lift his good arm for a while but being a handyman he can't stop working on things. After seeing a tool show feature it I decided I'm going to buy him the Knipex because you can pretty much use it with one hand. If its locked on steel it can hold your hold body weight. Then lift the top handle it releases. ...Thrifty Garage thanks for your comparison and tool close ups.

[@BassWhoopinFishingTeam]

I use the ChannelLock 420s and the Knipex 10” cobras. Love both. Each one has it’s use. Been using channel lock for over 8 years now. Just started using Knipex. Really love using both. Just gotta find what works for you. Pipe fitter for 2 years and currently an HVAC mechanic for 6 years and counting

[@ThriftyGarage]

I agree!

[@corygriffiths4394]

The Channelocks are a lot cheaper that’s for sure I have about 10 Knipex pliers and all together with the Malco Eagle Grip vise grips I bought awhile back that are USA made all of them together added up to about a $1,000 not cheap.

[@BassWhoopinFishingTeam]

@@corygriffiths4394 yeah I don’t use them enough to justify that. Some people do though and that’s okay.

[@ENCAGED79]

As an industrial mechanic, I was issued a 12” adjustable made by Channellock and a pair of 12” tongue and groove made by Crescent (I always found that amusing) as my first tools. Since then I’ve tried multiple brands of pliers and my go to is the Knipex Cobras.

[@LCAC75]

It may just be the work I do, but I find that the knipex are too hard, they chew up everything I work on. I don't have that issue with the channellocks, plus I think the ergonomics are better as well.

[@hochhaul]

Knipex are nice. Channellock Griplock pliers give you 80% of what a Knipex Cobra offers for less than half of the price. Unless you make a living using pliers, and have some extra money to spend, Channellocks are fine for DIY or hobbyists. I have both and I use them every day. Both have their purposes and advantages.

[@Fiftyfiv3hundr3d]

I have been plumbing for 20 years. I used to exclusively use Channellocks until I was fortunate enough to work with a crew of Germans who only used Knipex. That was 6 years ago and I haven’t gone back. I find Channellock’s shortcomings glaringly obvious now after exclusively using Knipex. At the end of the day it’s personal preference but I suggest giving a set of their pliers a shot. Edit: Reading the response from “hochhaul”, they bring up a good point about price and ability.

[@rawchickensandwich]

I’m a commerical HVAC tech, I carry pair of each in my tool bag, 9/10 times I grab the knipex cobras.

[@groundtogreen1140]

My biggest gripe is that knipex doesn't make straight jaw pliers. I work with a plumbing/mechanical contractor and many of us use straight jaw channels even in applications like you do but there's other things that we use em for like deburing threaded rod, fixing nail plate spikes, etc that just doesn't work well with others plier types. I do own the knipex straight jaw smooth jaw ones for brass fittings or chrome finishes and they are very nice.

[@joshuamclaren7529]

I personally started out in my trade using knipex cobras, overall fantastic pliers. However, over the last few months I’ve brought out my slip joint tongue and groove channellocks just for the fun of it. I couldn’t help but notice that I get a better bite and more torgue in most circumstances with the channellocks vs the knipex. The teeth just seem tougher and as if they grab better. I’m certainly not going off my some test that I did, just personal experience. Knipex are fantastic and I love them, but I’ve been leaning heavily towards channellocks over the past few months. I prefer the thinner handles as the (what appears to me to be) the stronger and better grabbing teeth. (My opinion of course) to each their own. Again This is the slip joint tongue and groove pliers that I’m referring to.

[@corygriffiths4394]

One thing is for certain the Channelocks are a lot more price friendly than the Knipex all of my Knipex pliers were about $800 to $900 very expensive I obviously didn’t buy them all at once I collected them over time but still expensive.

I have been noticing their quality drop over the years. Used to live in the town they are made in. Would never waste my money on channellocks again

Channel lock if you want a pair of clunkers with very limited adjustments that you can also use to beat or hammer something into place or like early early onset carpel tunnel, getting your skin pinched..struggling more for grip on tasks..Knipex for more ergonomical use ,precision, longevity, design, function, tougher metal all that while being lighter.Knipex is superior in my opinion but channel lock had their hay day in the 70’s and 80’s..They are made in the U.S.A though so I guess that’s good but the Germans are getting my money.

Knipex for the WIN! 🏆

[@randomescu]

125 mm Knipex pliers wrench are better for me because i use on hexagonal fasteners of 7, 8, 10, 19 and 22milimeters. sometimes on 20 and 21. it can grab 24 too, but forced. i ordered a 150mm Knipex Cobra, so i can use with no problem on 24 mm hex. i doubt ill ever use on pipes. i wonder if the american made tool can lock on a pipe so u can step on it to apply more force? great review!

[@chaselesser3191]

I think the Nut Buster pliers increase force by way of leverage. So yes you just need to stand on one handle for it to transfer it to clamping force.

[@roadrider7john245]

I am surprised about the comments starting at 1:07 about the tongue/groove performance of each. TG handles the ChannelLocks like he's never seen a pair before. With the proper grip (a bit scissor-like) ChannelLocks facilitate one-hand adjustments (no button to push). And they do NOT "slide back and forth" if one holds the tool properly and sets it down with jaws closed (right thing to do with ANY wrench). Plumbers (or any experienced contractor) working in tight quarters on multiple size fittings know what an advantage that is to just adjust the jaws (by feel) with the working hand and go right back on the fitting. With a push-button/2-handed adjustment would mean shimmying back out to adjust the wrench, then shimmying back in to resume work. PITA. Both are well made tools and should last a lifetime (though the K's push button design has shorter track record). But when expanding my tool chest my hard-earned $$$ goes into another ChannelLock tongue/groove plier. Being cheaper than Knipex is just gravy.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Everyone has their preference. I’ve been using the Knipex for the past 2-3 years and I stand behind my review. #1 Knipex #2 Old Channel Lock #3 New Channel Lock. Our employees grab the Knipex first as well. If you prefer the Channel Lock that is great!

[@oakleave]

If your picking up a set of pliers for personal home use/projects and don’t mind the extra cost, the knipex are outstanding. If your starting out like me in the trades, want a great quality tool for work that doesn’t break the bank then you can’t go wrong with channel locks. If a tool breaks my company will pay for a replacement but I have to buy the original set. If the tool grows legs then that’s on me to replace. Going from job to job, things may get dropped, misplaced, or stolen. You also may or may not abuse your tools, but I guarantee someone else will at some point. They may grab it out of your bag or ask you to borrow a tool and you watch them use it like a hammer 🔨 instead of it’s original Intended use. Drives me nuts. $20 pliers used and abused for work is much less painful to stomach then $60 ones and if the purpose of a tool is to solve problems and make you money while doing about an equal job, then the lower cost 💲 tool brings the highest value. To put it simply knipex get cleaned after every job and treated with dignity and respect. Meanwhile the Channelocks get used like a bar slut, and i don’t mind leaving them like I last left them… dirty and wet.

[@corygriffiths4394]

Cost wise the Channel Lock brand is the same price as the Knipex Alligator pliers if not more.

[@deedeeramone34]

Knipex cobras are not $60, and Knipex Alligators are $23 on Amazon. If you’re in a trade a $9 price difference shouldn’t break the bank.

Knipex has been making Alligator pliers since 1973. That's 50 years. They've been making the Cobras since 1984. That's 39 years. They are not really new to the US market. It's just most boutique tool retailers didn't want to take a chance on stocking a plier that is nearly twice the cost of something people were familiar with. The younger tradespeople want high quality today. Channellock and Klein are running on name and previous reputation only. Their products of late are NOT the quality of the 90's. The German tool makers (Knipex, Wiha, Wera) are making extremely high quality, innovative tools today.

[@Ras-Buju]

​@thooks1234 absolutely correct. I have a 20 year old pair knipex cobras that will out perform all the new tools.

There are valid reasons for buying pliers from both brands. Channellock pliers are less than half of the price of a comparable Knipex model.

[@rickt2419]

You are biased toward the Knipex, nothing wrong with that... just saying. Also, you are right-handed, so the wrench in your left hand is generally with slightly less grip power so more likely to slip; suggest to do comparisons like this, have two people each handles a wrench in hand to be more even or find a more scientific way to do a fair comparison.

Basically, nothing bites like a cobra. If its pliers you're talking about, Knipex is king. Channellock sidecutters are slightly sharper in blade angle making them a little better for stuff like stripping wires and slightly neater cuts. but the tool itself is less durable than the knipex and more susceptible to that clown that picks up your electrical sidecutters and tries to chop a bolt in half or somthing. Along with having, and using both side cutters at work and my experience aligns with all the systematic test videos I've seen that feature channellock vs knipex, it goes this way: Knipex is always more durable, but more blunt. Channelock is weaker, but sharper , and usually sightly more expensive.
