I've had some of these in my toolbox for many years. And I worked on airplanes for 42 years I found that they don't slip like a crescent wrench should never use a crescent wrench on an aircraft :-)

im use also in aviation sheet metal workshop to squeeze AD (soft) solid flush rivets to max.5 dia :-). Some times it does not sense to prepare rivet hammer for few rivets, faster and better is to use Knipex :-). Best Regards from Poland. Pozdrowienia z Polski :-)

Great for straightening sheet metal as well. Worked up to 1.5mm aluminium for me without any problems.

True, good point! Straightening wire, is another use I get often from these!!

These are great tools, bit on the spendy side but well made and you get what you pay for. I have the 5" & 7.25" set, the 5 is a little small but I think the 7.25 and the 10" would cover just about everything anyone would need

You are so right about these. I use them all the time.

I'm a pipefitter and love my knipex cobras! Great video, I'm always looking for an excuse to buy more tools...lol 👍

Yes! I remember these from one of your SLL build vids. I’ve been keeping my eyes on a set of these. Just have to save my 💵

I bought the 'medium' size (10" size) of Knipex Pliers at Home Depot (they only have that one size on display in the store). I bought one and I liked it so much that I bought a second one. Then I noticed that the handle of the tool is great for when you want to apply a lot of torque to a nut/bolt (the way an adjustable wrench would), but when you only want to apply a bit of torque, the handles are a bit too long, so I took one of the wrenches and I cut off 3" of each handle, now it's perfect. Its now like the 7.25" set that Knipex already sells.

Dude I don't think I have ever been sold on a tool so thoroughly & so quickly. Only other tool that comes close was the Milwaukee fastback folding knife with the screwdriver bit holder, but these pliers solve so many problems that drive me nuts I honestly hate that I don't already have a pair, and I've only known they exist for 7 minutes now.

Right on. Do you want to know something crazy? I just picked up that fastback with the screwdriver bit holder. I learned about it a couple of weeks ago and bought while at a plumbing supply store. So great learning about excellent tools isn’t it👍

Thanks for the size recommendation at the end.. Was stuck debating if to choose the 7" or the 10"..

Excelente vídeo cara. Eu amo essa ferramenta. Versátil, leve e extremamente ergonômica. Eu tenho uma dessa e comprovo sua praticidade. Obrigado pelo vídeo interativo, de fato é melhor do que um "MONKEY WRENCH".

good video! if you ever need a video idea, it would be cool to test the speed and torque vs a regular adjustable wrench.

Thanks for your review. The one you use the most, the small one in this video..is it 180mm ?

They’re good for pipes, and a I also like that the alloy used allows a slim tool, with jaws that can fit between parts that normally are hard to get to without buying an expensive, individual size, thin head wrench.

Knipex are the best

You compared the opening of the jaws, with the Knipex handle in closed postiion, their jaws can open more than that, thus can do bigger nuts.

They're like an upgraded version of channel locks right?

A monkey wrench here is a heavy duty beast with teeth that can grip on a round pipe / bar. And we call an adjustable wrench a shifter. Going to get some Knipex pliers as soon as the budget permits, they are a bit pricey but money well spent it seems.

What size was the smaller ones you showed please.

In my aprintership I had a smal tool set on my own while working with my master. Thatfor was the idea to cover a big range with not so much to carry. The set had the midsice of this and the kobra and the electrisian multi pliers and the multy e-screwdriver from Wiha and in the toolcheck pro from Wera

Good attitude and presentation. One small piece of advise, if you don't mind. If your video title mentioned "Knipex Plier wrench" or at least "Knipex" you'd get more views.

Adjustable wrench======= Shifter in Australia.

See per their rep at a tool expo... German company so German pronunciation is Kaneepex. However I was pronouncing them Nypex. Thought is sounds cooler and since we pronounce Volkswagen wrong anyway do we really have to since in English language the “k” is silent before an “n”

please advise, if the budget is limited and you can only choose one, for bicycle repair and can be taken for backpacking, which size should you choose?

Get the 7.25" size. I find the handles on the 10" set are just a bit too long for most situations, and the 5" version is just a baby and can only work on the smallest of nuts/bolts.

Agree, it is fine tool for lighter stuff and quick working. But a bit weaker and more bulky than good old screw adjustible french wrench where you can put a one or two meter pipe on it and grab it really hard without breaking it if you are trying to unscrew some large 50mm radiator rusted screw or similar stuff :D These will bend at some point. Also the Knipex price is a bit higher. Usually you can buy multiple "crescent wrenches" for a price of one of these :) Knipex wire cutters and many precision pliers are arso very nice tools. And Cobra pliers for pipes with nice sharp teeth that won't get dull in years.

Ok taking ur word and ordered a small one 😂 well see lol

Likely more; can't really recall when I bought them. If you read the comments here, the tool guys all own Knipex pliers. As this was new to you, then you are most certainly not in the tool community, which begs the question as to why you decided to respond to my comment. This could have gone so differently. Apparently, the host of this channel also has a much bigger knife making channel and this is his personal space. Fair enough. Had he said that, everything would have been clear. But that's not what he did, after showing us his brand spankin' new plier wrenches and talking to us as if we're ignorant as to the tool and its advantages, when it's brutally obvious that it's pretty new to him.
