I have these pliers and they are incredible. No more stripped fasteners. You will never use a crow's foot wrench for brake lines again. 10/10 would recommend

I haven't touched my channel-locks ever since I bought my cobras. I have a feeling the raptors are going to find their way into my tool box soon. Great review.

I will definitely unsubscribe from this channel. I simply can't afford to keep buying all of these incredible pliers.

Very nice tools! I've purchased multiple knipex pliers after watching your videos, my personal favourite is the pliers wrench, but the raptors are great for alignments. Im always using the pliers wrench for exhaust work, removing 02 sensors, egt sensors, etc without spending time a bunch of time trying to find the right size of wrench makes life easy.

Thanks for the video ... a co-worker lent me his, and I KNEW I had to have a set. Your video was concise, and informative... I just ordered one from your link to Amazon, above.

Thanks for the video !! I never paid much attention to the Knipex brand because I thought I could do the same work with other brands like Channelock but I'm sold on the superiority of Knipex. I'm getting these Raptors for when I do alignments at work, won't have to worry about messing up tir rods. Thanks!

Just got a pair of these following your review. They are just as you described, awesome performance and at £19, what super value for money!!!!!

EXCELLENT REVIEW AS ALWAYS!! KNIPEX MAKES SOME GREAT TOOLS

I was starting to get buyers remorse for buying these, but thanks to you I no longer do just have to realise they're a speciality item for certain situations handy to have in toolbox as a just incase.

Amazing set of pliers!

now im not sure if I should get these or a 7 inch set of pliers wrench as a first

On standard pliers you can remove pressure to simply turn the plier without having to remove the pliers

Good review.

Because it has a flat sides,it seems like a handy tool to have available....but will NOT replace my Channellock griplock pliers for round shafts or rounded over bolt heads....plus for the price you get a set of three from Challellock (about 31 bucks for three sizes on amazon)

Also I'd like to see a comparison of the Comfort Grips, the standard Grips and the VDE Electrical rated grips. You cover a little about the grips here, but a more detailed comparison would be a good video. It's quite amazing that you almost never "Um" and "arrr" in your videos, unlike a lot of others. It must be really hard, do you use a script or have lots of bloopers edited?! Thanks.

I am glad you appreciate that. (also --- no scripts....I have tried, it doesnt work. Everything flows naturally as I speak in person). Thanks for watching!

I've used my raptors on several near impossible to move Frozen plumbing parts. That if I didn't have would probably have to be cut off,.

Do you think with similar length bar over the handles If locked On a grade 8 bolt they could tear the head off? Assuming they could be squeezed hard enough and enough leverage. Like the Flank drive style open ends. Looks like they have three surfaces vs two from snap on and wright grip. Four from SK if I recall. The large cobras also could prob give the bolt a run for its money.

How's this plier differ from the knipex pliers wrench?

Hi, what is the name of this device with an hexagonal bar that you are using to test the plier?

Looks very similar to my wilde battery pliers. Only difference the wilde's don't adjust and they have teeth on them.

how do they compare to the plier wrench?

when is the air cat 1250k review coming?

shame those jaws can't grip smaller (nylon nuts...). The only smaller adjustable parrot type pliers I found is that Toler Union multi-tool?

I think some of those things are knit picky stuff. I've never used a ratcheting wrench before. I've always just turned the fastener and had to reset posistion it. I think its the same thing with those pliers

@schmojo33

7 жыл бұрын

The Nutbusters will tear up anything they are going to take off. The Raptors can take off a tough fastener and still be able to use that fastener again. 3/8 - 1 1/4 will cover a large range of sizes and being adjustable, it can fit tighter on a fastener than even a high quality wrench because fixed open end wrenches have to allow for slightly varying tolerances between fastener manufacturers. I have the Nutbusters but I'm now considering the Raptors as well.

@theomnipresent1

7 жыл бұрын

I agree with you on protecting the fastener, as long as it hasn't already been rounded off the raptors could still utilize the flats. My main concerns are the large head needing clearance around the fastener, the length of the handles in tight spaces and the jaws only going down to 3/8". If they made a smaller version I'd definitely be interested, I'm considering the Channellock Nutbuster 307's for those reasons.

@schmojo33

7 жыл бұрын

theomnipresent1 Ah the smaller Nutbuster, I could see that. At that size I would consider the Knipex 8603180 7-Inch Pliers Wrench. But the price difference is quite stark. I'd be curious to see if one offers more leverage. However the pliers wrench would probably see more use as it could pretty much replace an adjustable wrench without the drawback of loosening up and being a bit faster. They do commonly go on sale though since they are very popular.
