NEW! Knipex TwinGrip Sizes 6" & 10"

[@bannie00]

150s is a must have for me as an EDC

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@bannie00 👍👍. They are what I was wanting myself

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

We are the dipped handle gang with many members! If i had comfort handles on all my pliers my bag would be half circle like a peacock 🦚 because the handles would interfere with each other. Size does matter!

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@MattHmm-rq6dn I agree

[@walley2637]

certain companies seems to be head and shoulders above the competition, Knipex is one of them. i also have Veto pro Pac bags full of Klein, Wiha, Wera and Knipex. I have the 8" twin grips on order and cant wait to try them.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@walley2637 they are.. at least for pliers in my opinion. Every pair of pliers of theirs I’ve tried is the best one I have at what it does

[@StevesWoodshopandToolRev-sk7vg]

I see the larger pair as a straight handled pipe wrench for 1/2”-3/4” pipe

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Yeah I think that’s a better use for it for sure 👍

[@tonyrulez69]

Yeah but even a 125 Cobra can do that. And I don't see the benefit of a straight design in piping.

[@k1_w3]

The 200mm twingrip is one of my top 5 hand tools. I’m going to have to get the 150’s to replace my Engineer PZ-58/6.25” Vampliers in my tools bags. The Knipex textured grips are the best.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I wasn’t sold on the texture at first for cleaning purposes… but they are better for use so they grew on me

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Me too the twin grips were a repayment for my engineer screw removal pliers. It wasn't that the engineer didn't do a better job on that one thing it was the knipex were a better overall for many tasks besides stripped screw heads.

[@k1_w3]

@MORGANSMaintenance Yeah, the textured grips are harder to keep clean, but they were my favorite the first time I got my hands on some. I like the regular dipped grips too, but they’re a little slippery sometimes. And the Engineer/Vampliers grips are growing on me, but they don’t seem as durable, and they’re the most difficult to keep clean. We’re living through a golden age of tools right now though, so I can’t really complain about all the choices we have due to brands innovating to compete for market share.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@k1_w3 I agree on the Golden Age 👍

[@k1_w3]

@MattHmm-rq6dn Agreed. I like to carry tools that check off more than one box in my tool bag. The twingrips check off slip-joint pliers and screw removal pliers. Same thing with the Engineer PZ-60’s checking off long nose pliers and screw removal pliers.

[@projectpinehills]

Good video, I’m more interested in the 150mm than the 250mm. The sweet spot with that tool is the 200mm - 8”.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@projectpinehills 👍👍… it probably is

[@projectpinehills]

@@MORGANSMaintenanceI’m eager to see what you think after you use them a while.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@projectpinehills 👍

[@fuzzman2000]

I agree with you on the cobra style dipped grips. I would prefer if knipex used that style grip on all dipped handle pliers.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I wasn’t sure I liked them at first because I’m a neat freak.. but they are better 👍

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

A great video, Sir.knipex, is one of my favorite tools just like Klein. A great video on the Veto pouch as well.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@paulmarsdensr1095 appreciate it 👍👍

[@briansavage932]

I've got a 125 Cobra and a 125 pliers wrench in my Vanquest FTIM 6x9 EDC bag and I think the 150 twin grips will complement those nicely. Though I do wish they had an even smaller 125 twin grip to match my other two, but I can see how that might further limit their functionality.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I’m glad they did 150 instead of 180… 180 wouldn’t fit in my vest

[@csimet]

Owner of the 8" 82-02-200 (soft grip) here... love them and my favorite pliers. A bit pricy, so I don't think I'll get any of the other new sizes, but they are in my bag at all times. Perfect for getting at screws.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@csimet 👍👍.. the 8” is probably they best all around if you only have one

[@JosephSwolin]

Currently restoring my dad’s 1970 Ford Maverick and I found some really old twin grips in the trunk, don’t know what brand they are since it’s all metal and rusty. Work like Knipex though from what I feel

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@JosephSwolin nice 👍

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

When in doubt buy them all! I've seen doc's lbt and a few others for size scale before deciding if I really need them. The big ones seem a little too big for anything I need and are for sure on the non priority list. The small one is interesting i liked that you showed it right up with engineer needlenose. I don't see needing small things like that right away but wouldn't turn them away for a good peice. In the end they did right by the customer by offering the 200mm pair only at first it seems to be a goldilocks size for most people. Your not alone i have 3 pair of rhe dipped 200s so bags don't have to share since I've caught them on sale as low as 15 and 17 dollars a pair.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@MattHmm-rq6dn I think the 8” pair probably is the best overall

[@831savageoutdoorsman6]

I wish knipex would make there pliers wrench in that angle

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

😂… that’s another reason I bought the 3 set.. I could get them faster, because like JG Wentworth “I want it Now!”

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

It's my pliers and I want them now! That's always the joke with that jingle works for everyone. I also think people are holding out for comfort grips since there new and fancy. I've already seen 3d prints for v notch stripper attachments for the new clips!

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@MattHmm-rq6dn yeah.. I just don’t care for them

[@erichoward5565]

Thanks. I have been looking around, thaks to you, I just ordered.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

You are welcome 👍👍

[@BradNeumyer]

I use the 8” fairly often at one of the sites where I do a lot of service work. So many of the screws on the junction boxes are stripped badly…. I can definitely see getting good use out of the 6” to just be more slim in my pocket or pouch as well as getting a bit better access to tight spots. I absolutely agree with you about the 10” probably not being used as much for screw extraction but I’m sure I’ll end up with those eventually too because the 8” are so good all-around I’m sure I’ll find a good use for the 10” in time.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I think our thought process on using these is the same 👍👍

[@willb3018]

That 8" (200) Twin grip gets a lot of use by me. In fact I bought a second to keep one in my car bag. One of the best purchases I ever made. Defintely want the 6". I need to think about that 3 pc set.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@willb3018 they are pretty useful 👍

[@nachoisme]

One thing I think most people miss on is tightening a blot straight on. The screw extraction part wraps around 2 opposite corners of the bolt/nut and gives you essentially 4 point of contact or at least contact for torque on 4 flats. THAT has got me out of a few jams.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@nachoisme true.. that’s why I call it a screwdriver a few times.. but I guess I should call it a bolt driver 😂

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@taylorstapp5855 👍👍.. I’ve been looking forward to getting a small pair

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Let us know how twisting wire at the tip goes with the new 6in. Better yet Joey can do that on a live with some romex and some stranded using the tip.

[@gnic76]

My wish list is getting longer.😂 Would the 8 or 10 inch those work to hold onto a carriage bolt head, when stripped out in wood, such as a deck? Usually I try and lock a pair of locking pliers onto the head.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@gnic76 I would think so… that may be a good option for the 10” if they are big ones like what I’m picturing on a deck. If you grab stuff from the regular teeth and not the front extraction they are the same as cobras and that’s probably what I would use in that situation

[@gnic76]

I’ll stick with my originals for the moment. I’d be interested to see a 5” pair though, which I like for EDC in the Cobra & Pliers Wrench. I find the 4” too small, maybe because I have big hands!

Man I Can’t wait for the 100mm or 125mm judging by the size increments that’s going on I’m leaning towards 100mm this is my prediction because of the Extra Small Slot in the Twin Grip Tool Roll

@@whatfreedom7 engineer/Vampliers have multiple models for different size stuff, some with cutters, needle nose, etc. As far as extraction they all work and perform similar. Just depends on if the other feature of whatever plier you are looking out more useful for what you do

Toilet bolts actually varry alot between 1/4 in shafts to 5/8s. Let's call the average if they can grab a 5/8s nut then sure can.
