which is better?! knipex 5" cobras vs knipex 5" pliers wrench

[@Fuhrmann53]

you need both, they are awesome

[@willfitzsimmons8955]

I just got the 25 01 140s They are small long nose pliers with cutters. I pair them with my 125mm pliers wrench. Perfect combo I also carry the 87 01 180s on my belt Great video!

The question is flawed they are both excellent, each is better at its own job, if I could only have one it would be the cobra, it can get more done overall.

Awesome video man! Now I need a pair of pliers wrench! I have the cobras in multiple sizes! Thanks for this video! 🤘🏽💀

I like the 4” pliers wrench because it doesn’t have a button. It’s easier to get it to just the right size. I have the 4” and 5” water pump pliers. I prefer the 5” water pump pliers. My EDC is both the 5” water pump and the 4” pliers wrench. The 7” pliers wrench and 4” water pump are nice but less commonly used by me.

Both excellent. For me these are the smallest practical size. The 4" versions are just too small for most tasks (at least the things I do).

[@kabuti2839]

Looks like a good design. I have a big assortment of vintage pliers & those are similar to antique 'PlieRench' pliers

Knipex 86 05 150 S02 is a 6" pair of the pliers wrench with roughened jaws. It only comes with the multigrip handles but like you I would remove them. Also, the 150mm pliers wrenches have a 1" capacity.

[@eduardosandoval460]

I use the pump pilers for 1/2 inch rigid and 3/4 emt ans the plies wrench insted of a crecent for nuts i dont have to torque down too crazy

[@nitrorc4life1]

@8:20 A pair of 6” or 5” twin grip would be perfect for me

[@thelred-ph3lq]

Sir, if you don't mind them having yellow handles, Tsunoda offers 125mm Diagonal Cutters, Linesman/side cutting pliers, and long nose/needle nose pliers. They are good quality japanese tools.

[@austincalhoun6429]

Lmao I was looking for the black grip until I heard you say heat shrink.

[@ethanwasme4307]

both serve different purposes though? i'll continue watching

[@oilandfireguy1739]

I love my plier wrench, use them every day. But id have to disagree with you, the cobra can also grip round objects well. The teeth grip very well. I prefer to use plyers wrench on nuts and bolts so that they dont get marred up. But on rust bolts (or even really tight ones) the cobras win hands down.. even tho the plyer wrench had a stronger gripping strenth, as you put lots of pressure to loosen the nut or bolt, by design it starts to force the jaws open requiring you to use a lot more hand strenth to grip the object, this doesnt happen with the cobras, you only need your hand strength to bite into the metal, not to counter act the jaws being force open. Twice today i had to switch away from the pliers wrench on the fitting of a tight pipe to using the cobras rifht on the pipe.

[@johnossendorf9979]

I carry both.

[@normanedwards7220]

It is a " horses for courses " thing , ....racehorse , or carthorse ,

[@timbledsoe6737]
