Completely agree. I’m an electrician and Irwin is by far my fav brand when it comes to price. Knipex are of course great but that’s like comparing a 2023 Porsche to an 87 Volvo lol.

I don’t care for tools that don’t work! I appreciate your time making tools fail!

That's an intriguing failure. At around 4:57 the teeth you pointed at have about a third of their area stripped indicating that the teeth do not mate all the way across, that would be a pretty fundamental design flaw.

Never used either of those models but I’ve had a pair of Irwin dykes and Irwin “channel locks” that I’ve used for years. Irwin makes great stuff for the price.

So if irwins are roughly $15, knipex are $45, and quality matches price; are there any comparable items that are like $25ish. Knipex set of 3 is $165 on amazon right now

That's one thing you're Knipex will never do!

Knipex actually specifies the 250mm pliers wrench for up to 1 tonne (2204lbs) of jaw clamping force.

Dam. I threw the packaging away so it’s too late to return them...If mine ever give me issues I’ll warranty them. Thanks for this video!

Appreciate the review. Craftsman V Series pliers have the same action, have you tried those? Thanks again for the review

I have the same irwin pliers and my experience is the same as yours, with light use the teeth took a shit. I agree in this case the extra cost of knipex 100% makes sense. That design with the teeth on the side doesnt seem to hold up well. By the way i recently purchased the wiha 32948 insulated linesman pliers, and I am in love with them, but I am just a DIY who enjoys nice tools, would you be willing to test any of the wiha pliers at your job? Id love to see how they hold up in real world conditions with daily use. Also keep it up man, your reviews are the best, the guys that just show me a brand new tool, doesn't tell me shit. However seeing a bad ass maintenance mechanic beating the shit out of something and it holding up makes me feel way more confident in my purchases.

Thanks dude! 😊 and I have a list of suggestions I will definitely look into those! I'll post a picture when I get them! 😁 I do enjoy wiha tools tho

I have both of these wrenches and use them both daily. I haven't had them fail on me yet. They both have their pros and cons. You must have gotten a lemon though, or torqued the wrench too hard, or both.

Interesting. Might be ok for home use . I will stick with knipex. I find I usually run into something that is tight or needs a little extra to break it loose. And knipex gives me that extra!

If you can get the VBW / Stahlwille pliers wrench (they are the same tool just a rebrand), I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on those.

The only issue I have with my Knipex is you have to have the jaws in a precise position to adjust the jaws. I seem to have to play with them more than I would like. The Cobra's give me no issue.

Many of the modern Irwin tools are being made in China and they must have a little better quality control and manufacturing specs because all the ones I’ve bought have held up quite well I am a retired Woodworker and I do almost all my own plumbing , electrical ,and mechanical work and repairs myself so I keep and use a wide assortment of tools and do prefer higher quality as a general rule as I want mine to last for many years of service

Buy right or buy twice

Wow, guess I'll be getting some Knipix. Thanks for sharing. #PEACE✌🏾

Do you know that the Irwin pliers are supposed to close without pressing the button? It’s an auto adjust feature so comparing these to the pliers wrench isn’t an apples to apples comparison. Don’t get me wrong I love my Knipex comfort grip 7.25” pliers wrenchs, but to me it looks like you don’t know about the Irwin’s auto adjust feature on these pliers. The Irwin V-jaw pliers don’t have the auto adjust feature on them & that’s probably why you would think these were supposed to behave the same way. & I don’t think Knipex has made an auto adjust pliers wrench yet, they have cobras that auto adjust but that’s it I believe.

Same kind of design as those channel lock 430 things you had before and also look like something from my kids Bob the builder tool belt....

Looks like it was made in a medieval foundry.

Really the baseline criteria for a functional tool aren't that high, holding on to a fastener without disintegrating is kind of a big one though. I'll hold on to my € 1,89 sloppy adjustable wrench from the grocery store for now.

These wrenches ain't angled right to get into anywhere with a lot of force applied. I got a set of knipex but finding myself reaching for my Cresent a lot more.

👍 ℹ️

That's sad for an Irwin product.. Most of my Irwin tools are pretty good quality, but those look like Kmart made them.

Yeah warranty doesn't make a tool great, you don't want to be all the time going to change your tools because they break when working. The Irwin didn't look like it has a strong grip action like the knipex 10:1 ratio of the jaws

Simultaneously good and the SUPER -WEIRDEST tool / tools (pun intended) video I have ever seen. Never seen a banana and ?Kiwi? s incorporated in a hand tool video. It seems way to coincidental that at 3:15 a banana appears (strangely) out of no where into close range and shortly after a Kiwi is shoved into close range view until being united with a 2nd Kiwi in a phallic configuration at 4:11 and left on screen for the rest of the video. Later at 8:04 (when banana and Kiwis are disrupted) you claim you just "bruised your banana" and make sure they are back in a perfect phallic shape. Did you use the banana because you were fresh out of egg plant??? Either you are A) just plain bizarre B) trying to increase viewership through subliminal messaging OR (for whatever strange reason) C) doing your "tool" review innocently among 3 pieces of fruit that you like to keep really organized. If "C" is your answer, you might want to STRONGLY consider seeing a therapist. Either way, (in my opinion) there is one to many "tool" s in this video... OK review, but VERY freakin weird video in my book... jus sayin!

I wouldn't buy a tool with that big of a forehead in the jaws anytime soon, it probably takes more space around a nut then my 24" stillsons, back to the drawing board for Irwin.
