[@ronshekelson]

I did a similar test with nippers. I had Channellock and Knipex.. The channel lock had trouble cutting nails with hand pressure. The Knipex did not.. To be fair the Knipex had a different design with narrower cutters and longer handles.

Wranglerstar you should try the bacho mini bolt cutters they are even better then the knipex

you should rename this to how to make 2 minutes of content into 18 minutes of video. Ive watched a lot of your videos lately, this is a complete disaster. the music is annoying, you repeat everything so many times, you rample so much. sigh... KZbin doesn't know what people want. Look at youtube rewind. Stop trying to feed their algorithm. Real viewers don't want overly long videos. Sure the algorithm will get you views and low interest subscribers. The subscribers you gain playing to the algorithm will be low quality. they won't watch all your videos, they certainly won't donate to you. If youtube decides to stop recommending you, then your low quality subscribers won't share your videos or help you grow.

Cody, this was a great video and I was truly impressed with the Knipex cutters. You have to admit, if you can't cut it with hand pressure, you aren't going to be using side cutters anyway.

Some of that old stuff is really high quality. I have tools from my grandfathers that are at least 90-100 years old. I have some even older handmade tools. They all still work. They were very solidly made. I don't use them because they are too cool to risk breaking, but if I really needed them I know they would work.

[@zapanjormas4787]

i think the difference between chinese-like tools and pro tools are not well described in this test. Nobody want cut hex with simples cutter... But the difference is on life of the tool. If you need to make some electric wire cable cut, chinese is ok. If you want to have one tool that you use always and always work like on first day, or if you are a professionnal, you should consider buying pro quality tools. Personnaly, i have some chinese, pro, and very old tools. each of theses have an use. and if i know i could loose it, or i will use it only a few time, i choose chinese cheap type. for the others, i prefer put some bucks on them ;)

Got a pair of Klein side cuts and never looked back, abused them just as much if not more for a longer period of time. I had the knipex for about a year or so and have been running the same pair of Klein side cuts for 3-4 years and they still work great. They could be replaced for excellent performance but they perform well as is.

Along time ago my business sold and installed CB radios. Part of the install was tuning the antennas which often meant cutting the stainless steel antenna whip at the bottom, the thickest part. This stuff is extremely hard to cut. I normally used the heavy side cutter linesmen pliers, the good quality ones would cut them with a lot of elbow grease and no damage to the tool. Pick up a cheap set though and they not only wouldn't cut the antenna, but it would leave a perfect little crescent dent in the cutting surfaces. LOL .

[@Marcel_Germann]

@@KodyAWSOME And here in Europe standard is 230V (+/- 10%), and some appliances with a high demand are running with 400V if it's a three-phase system. In some countries in residentials you'll find single phase power supply only. Here in Germany three-phase power supply is common, even in residential buildings. That's the reason almost every electrician here uses insulated tools. And Knipex is the standard brand for them, but here they are much cheaper. The diagonal cutters shown here are round about 20 Euros here, which are 22 US$, the value added tax of 19% already included.

I still use them to this day (Although they became my back up pair bc I cut a live wire my buddy told me was 'not on", when he just switched the wrong breaker in his home electrical panel, off) - But, I could EASILY do this same thing with my 10" side cutting knipex pliers (8" pair seen in this video) - They really are the best in so many ways...Just the weight alone compared to Klein or Greenlee, southwire, Ideal, etc is half!

As an IBEW wireman all I use anymore is Knipex. They are lighter sharper and almost as tough as Klein

[@absolutez3r019]

I've noticed Klein Tools have dropped in quality in the past few years. I've had 2 heavy duty linesmen pliers crack cutting 1/16 aircraft cable, and a brand new #2 Robertson screwdriver break while tightening an EMT fitting

As a guy who lives on the east coast, I can say that yes, sadly I have used a machinists vice as mechanical leverage on a pair of cutters before. I was out of hacksaw blades and I needed to cut out a section of 16 penny nail to use as a rivet. I'm happy to say cutters on my father's needle nose pliers survived without even a scratch.

Would love to have seen the Knipex latex test once again at the end. This said, I have electronics side cutters that have blade marks from thicker copper wires.

Down south we yell "Hey ya'll, watch this" before doing something like this!!!!

[@KennstDuKarl]

The result makes me very happy as a German. :D I use a lot of Knipex tools myself and am convinced of the quality.

[@TheRedneckAtheist]

My favorite pair of side cutters is from ACE and for one simple reason, they're spring loaded.

[@spencertaylor144]

I love my knipex cutters. They are just as good as the day i got them, and they have been through a lot. I would love to see the same test vs the channellock cutters! Channellock is my go to for hand tools now, good quality, less expensive than the knipex, and made in usa!

He was taking shots at Nazis. Stop being so f*cken sensitive, ok👌

[@ark2364]

Nothing to do with Nazis, it's a well known fact that German tools, machinery, equipment, etc are very incredibly well built and are able to endure a lot of stress as opposed to other countries.

I still love my Knipex pliers from 40 years ago. Living in Stuttgart and looking for Channel Locks, Knipex was all they had. Hesitantly I bought it from hardware store in my little town. Von Der Meisterrasse gemacht! LOL.

@Wranglerstar You know... if you buy a piece of 3/8" plexiglass from the glass store and make a wooden frame for it you would be protected AND be able to see what your doing. Same for your cameras. If you put a thin 1/16 - 1/8" sheet in front of the camera it's well protected.

At 2:16 you mentioned the other tools in the set the “flat bill pliers” you called are actually linesman pliers slight difference (kinda like calling something a sawzall or reciprocating saw) but felt like if someone wanted a pair they should know what the difference is great vid and throughly impressed with the results
