KNIPEXupdate Spring 2023

[@lanewillhite]

​I'm not the first to ask for it, but having some smaller Twin Grips for Everyday Carry would be amazing. I have the 180's in both grips, but would love a 150 or 145 size that's more pocket-friendly.

[@asamunandri]

[@Jeffopar]

As an aviation mechanic I use your product every day. Your quality and designs are outstanding. Thank you so much.

[@DaveJaJemTV]

I was waiting for the metric forged strippers like a lot of people, but very sad to see there are no threaded screw cutters, similar to the imperial 6-32 and 8-32. Hope to see these added in an update one day as 3.5mm and 4mm are very commonly used in the uk

[@adoughertycontracting7243]

Was just about to write the same thing.

[@ΣωτήρηςΔιαβατης]

i love knipex pliers great tools i can't wait to see what new is coming out

[@fuloplehel]

Nice tools, I already have the 145mm needle nose combi pliers and is one of my favorites. The forged wire stripper in this metric version does not have the screw cutting holes like the imperial one. For 3 and 4 mm screws would be great. And a smaller twingrip xs version to complete my xs tool pouch. 👍👍👍

@Hand Tool Reviews Did your therapist teach you that word? Following me around YT is creepy bro. Looks like you should book another appointment.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Looking forward to seeing that X-18 backpack and the new needle-nose combination pliers. Great presentation!

[@platoscavealum902]

👍

[@beauxtx1959]

The 'three points-of-contact' is a brilliant innovation. I love it in my small needle nose combination pliers.

[@platoscavealum902]

👍

[@danstheman33]

I still have no idea what they're talking about with the convex / three points of contact thing. Can you elaborate?

[@gf2e]

@@danstheman33 I think it’s: Get a normal pair of needle nose pliers. Try and hold something long and thin like a round metal rod that’s facing the same direction as the pliers. The pliers will be touching two points on the item. It will easily rotate sideways. The three point design adds a bump to the pliers. There’s a part sticking out on one side and a matching concave hole on the other side. When you hold something long and thin, the part of the tool sticking out contacts the item, and on the other side two points of the pliers touch your item. It doesn’t rotate very easily.

[@yt4krist0f]

Great quality tools designed for use... Thanks Knipex for your effort!

[@yt4krist0f]

Can you name any specific cutting edge innovations regarding pliers from other brands?

[@KNIPEXofficial]

Hi there! Great feedback, we really appreciate it. Everyone has his preferences, and that's totally fine! Kind regards from Germany

[@EngineersPerspective701]

The forged wire strippers are absolute dynamite. Love them. Looks like the needle nose combo pliers are taking a play out of the Leatherman playbook. No doubt much stronger and more capable especially with the high leverage pivot

[@inq752]

If youre talking about Leatherman multitool then this is an absurd claim. As if the Wera Koloss will be replacing hammers and ratchets altogether.

[@EngineersPerspective701]

@@inq752 I’m not claiming anything will replace anything else. I’m just stating the plier design is very similar to what Leatherman popularized with a needle nose section, open round section and wire cutting section.

[@Gman737e]

I love Knipex

[@natewesley8507]

I sooooo love a high quality tool that actually does what it says it does thank you for what you do

[@BuiltByN8]

Love the look and layout of the backpack. Looking forward to all the new stuff.

[@TheTomatobo]

Short summary: 1. Absolutely new backpack. 2. Robust 26 move = B&W toolcase JUMBO 6600. 3. Electric vehicles set - nothing new, one more case set. 4. Needle-Nose Combination Pliers 08 26 145 have grown to 185mm. 5. Forged Wire Stripper added VDE grips and plated chrome. While chromed, screw cutting holes was removed🫢. The most funny could be after 2:22 but unfortunately the plan was cut off 🤣 And anyway… Knipex am besten Werkzeug!❤️

[@black.phoenix.]

I'm surprised I was not the only one realizing that Robust 26 Move was the Jumbo 6600 from B&W. I use their type 6700 non JUMBO with the laptop and pocket attachment on the lid and their divider system on the bottom. Them all my measuring equipment, plus tools go inside each divider in their own pouch/transport cases (Wera, Fluke, Knipex, etc). They are good cases, at the level of Peli/Pelican offerings without the Peli/Pelican price.

[@anindividual3889]

Your tools have been a staple on my family's farm for years. Especially the cobra water pump pliers. I think we have every size offered. Looking forward to buying a pair of the nippers and those wire strippers in the future.

[@KNIPEXofficial]

Hi there, wow that's so cool! Thanks a lot! Let us know what you think about our new products once you've tried them out!! Kind regards

[@JoelLabosier]

Excited to see the new tools!

[@Bestoolsrb]

Oh new things from Knipex 💪 greetings from Serbia 👋👋👋

How about the Twin Grip in a smaller size and needle nose. And maybe in a really large size, like 400mm, with jaws like wolf jaw tongs.

[@vinaykumarjain9745]

Great Tools; very good update by Britta, Bradi & Nico

[@adjutant]

The needle-nose combination is legendary. Right up there with cobra and pliers wrench as a MUST-HAVE knipex pliers. Most people have leathermans as their edc pliers, this one's in the same style but 100x better.

[@Notmy00000]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍from🇳🇱NL

[@mattfleming86]

I wouldn't say that Knipex strives for perfection. They achieved it. Your tools are a pleasure to use. They are well engineered. They are very durable. I use them and abuse them. I do maintenance/repair for our business AND we have a small farm. There is seldom a day that at least one Knipex tool does not spend time in my hands. They ARE expensive, but the time and frustration I have saved makes it more than worth it. Thank you for making my life easier. Edit: YES. You have the combo pliers with the plain-dipped handles (I have a type I guess...) It will soon be time for a KC Tool order.

[@mattfleming86]

@Hand Tool Reviews No. Just bought the pliers wrench about 3 years ago and FINALLY discovered what I had been missing. I havent regretted a single knipex tool I have bought. The only other tools I have that come close are my golden-era american tools-which are getting hard to come by and after 50-80 years finally getting beat up. There is great stuff coming out of japan and taiwan. Wiha, wera, hazet, starett, etc. make great stuff. Snap on is great but I prefer to keep at least one of my kidneys. Lots of people make great tools. But dollar-for-dollar (substitute your own exchange rate here) Knipex sets the bar REALLY high.

[@mattfleming86]

@Hand Tool Reviews I've personally seen zero. Now considering that it appears you have went up and down this comment section giving everyone the same copypasta troll crap, i'm going to ask who do you work for/who sponsors you? If you're going to claim that you don't- provide some details of those issues you have had. If you're going to troll, at least be helpful and informative. I can only speak from personal experience-which has been flawless. Edit: yup. went through your catalog. You review everything except knipex. "Show me the incentive, and i'll show you the outcome"

[@johnmoorefilm]

180 needle/combo! yeah baby🎉

No screw cutters?? Gutting . A 3.5 and a 4.0 would be great together with the spring system from the electrical installation pliers . Then that would be innovation! Please bring an update knipex !!! I love my installation pliers but I find myself needing to get other tools out to cut screws and twist cables in addition. These in vde with a spring and screw cutters + a 200mm pair of diagonal cutters would be incredible!!! And would complete most of my cable work without carrying too much.

It would be nice if you enlarged the twin grips 1 inch longer, removed the screw extractor v, and replaced the jaws with cross hatch teeth. You would have in your line up, one of the best slip joint pliers on the market.

[@colinmurphy9865]

I work on industrial sites that include Food Industry Sites which have high hygiene areas that have restrictions on what may be taken into these areas. Some sites have multiple high hygiene areas that build on one another. Is the Backpack Tool Bag able to be cleaned and kept clean so as not to bring on site any bacteria and viruses or dirt that is deemed to be a health risk? I carry out electrical safety inspections and consultancy services to my clients, so the types of tools and equipment I need on site changes depending on what I'm doing.

[@tomaswagner3666]

I’d also appreciate crimping jaw on the new forged wire strippers… in central europe, we should use ferrules for alemost every instalation with stranded wire (i think it’s because of our CYSY cables, which are made with wery thin wires).

[@i_know_youre_right_but]

Knipex are taking over the tool market for electricians in the UK. No one has had a bad thing to say about your brand and your tools are like no other. The only brand that comes close is Wera. Germany are #1 innovators and manufacturers!

[@ivailotrifonov8246]

I will love to see this backpack in Bulgaria so I can bay it. I put it in good use for me every day knipex tools.

[@ThisTall]

I love Knipex design performance, but after I bought 7-8 different pairs last year, I have to say that I’ve had pretty poor luck with the ones I use the most in blade hardness as well as accuracy of grind on a pair of the new twin grip pliers. And I’ve found at least 10 other pair in stores that have the same grind issue.

[@ThisTall]

@Hand Tool Reviews ya I’ve had soft metal issues on jaw teeth and blades on a few pliers. I used a pair of flush trim pliers only for cutting 18 & 23 gauge brad nails, and it dented the blades pretty bad. And regardless of use I know it’s a quality issue because 100% of the denting is in 1 blade and not the other, so one is hardened just fine. Next time you see some new twin grips, look at the grand of the tip, every pair in 3 tool stores I’ve found are ground a few degrees out of square, and they’re not even all the same, some are 3° and some are 5°. It’s sad because no other companies design engineering comes close imo.

[@dd5617]

When you say grind do you mean they don't line up when closed? There's a trick to locking it fully and it does snap parallel, if you don't click it fully home they naturally don't sit straight

[@adelarsen9776]

@@dd5617 Hello DD, Are you using Twin Grip pliers and if so what is your thoughts ?

[@DodPaDinSkulder]

A little too late on the backpack release. I do have literally just about everything you make. So i will probably buy one but I already have a Veto Tech Pack Wheeler and you will have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

[@pawelelektryk2985]

Those combination pliers are dynomite,but they are missing the 6-32 & 8-32 screw cutters and to me the handle should be curved for a more ergonomic grip.I find the 'straight/flat' handle not very comfortable.

[@tomaszleszczyowski5274]

[@jeffreywolf5235]

Proud to say I have one of those butter-like electoral installing pliers. Things are great.. I can't stand companies like harbor freight in the United States that does nothing but copy incredible manufacturing such as Knipex and Snap On. Then they come on KZbin and think that they're pliers because they look exactly the same are going to be the same quality. But yet the snap-on sell for $100 online you can get them for $12 at harbor freight and you're going to be back a dozen times to replace the warranty (at least they do warranty them things) but all that travel for warranty work if you went through snap-on originally it would never happen you would get your job finished and not need to go back and forth a dozen. However if that snap on brakes and you don't work at a shop you're really screwed because there is no warranty. Typically they're not going to break the snap-on pliers, unless you're abusing the hell out of them.

[@DomDavidson]

Wait snap on doesn’t have a warranty if you are a diy guy? Also if harborfreight didn’t rip off the pliers wrench and cobras i would have never bought a pair of real Knipex. I enjoyed the harbor freight versions so I went and bought the real ones that are just better and smoother. However I didn’t like the 3 position pliers so I didn’t waste the money on a snap on but I am looking at the talon versions of them I think that’s what that tool needs in my use.

[@danstheman33]

A big update video for just two new pliers (and not really new, just new sizes of existing pliers) plus two new cases seems a bit excessive.. Don't get me wrong, I don't think they are obligated to pump out new products every year just for the sake of it, I think that's silly. But this seems like unnecessary fanfare.. Also I wonder why they eliminated the screw cutters from the metric wire strippers? I love that feature on my pair, that's one of the best things about it, so it seems like a strange feature to remove. I'm in the USA so I don't really care what happens with the metric version, I just hope they don't plan on eliminating that from the Imperial design as well.
