In my country it was common to use the old Crescents with yellow plastic material handlers. And the Channnelock blue were the top, I haven't seen them anymore since a while.
@@AddictedtoTools yes, I work on building maintenance, mainly electrical duties. Also work in residential and commercial construction. I'm in Costa Rica. But it is kind of difficult to get some good tools in here. If I want some tool from a decent brand, I need to import it, and pay a ridiculously high amount in taxes. But I really love to work with good equipment. I've always thought that a good piece of tool makes half of the job for you, besides the results are better and more professional.
Cheers for the reply. Great to hear that you’re in the industry. And I definitely agree. Quality tools can be beneficial with time and longevity of the tools themselves. It’s hard though when you have to import the tools. I have to pay extra being in Australia also. But it’s worth the money in the end. Thanks and keep up the good work.
I've always wanted to give knipex a go. I bought high leverage side cutters, multifunction pliers which are the BEST replacement for long nose, and then the pliers as you have. I'm really struggling to strip cable with them compared to channel lock and Marvel's, though they cut pretty nicely.
from australia too im an apprentice i had marvel cross cuts or linesman pliers, channelocks and marvel combination pliers what do you think of cross cuts
I’ve never actually owned any, but I’ve used them a few times over the years. I definitely rate them. I’ve been meaning to grab a pair of marvels to try full time. Wiha have also just brought out a pair which I wouldn’t mind using. What’s your thoughts on them?
I’ve used some for a bit now and they can be used to strip cabling but they are definitely sharp. Some people even blunten them to make it easier. I find pinch cut a lot easier. Comes down to your own preference and practice
I got some Wiha, Best pliers Ive had, beats; Kliens. Don't bother with short handles get 200.mm/ 8" at least. With your channel lock, take off the plastic, clean the metal and glue handles on with Araldite super strength. Don't by new pliers and cut a live wire, that pisses you off..
Hey Matt, thanks for doing the video. Yeah it drives me crazy when my handle slides off like that. I didn't actually realise that it doesn't happen on all pliers. I think I might go out and get a set of the better ones now that I've seen how much better they are. Well maybe I'll wait for a sale hahahha Cheer Ben
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Peter Landyn i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Marvel or Wattmaster think they are the same different name but once you use them you won’t look back. I used Channellock for years handle slips off on some, and go dull quickly.

Do you work in a trade?

I have had trouble with channellocks jamming up wont use them any more .
The knipex are great.
I thought a lot of Aussies used the Marvel pliers. Cable shear and linesman in one.
Would love to try one.
Marvel sheer and channel lock pliers are equally the most popular in Australia
My dad has the orange ones and I like them in starting first year with him next year
Very nice. Good luck with starting your first year.
Are the KNIPEX the 200mm ones? model # 03 06 200
They are

@@AddictedtoTools my boss told me apparently their too sharp to strip 1.5 and 2.5? And that I should change to normal combination pliers???

I like the wiha pliers. A little on the large size for me though.

Yeah I thought the same thing. I don’t know any other pliers that this happens too.

@Peter Landyn It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out !
I am addicted to tool specialty klein tools brand that here in US is one of the most use in the trade
Matey try German made, wiha or nws if you use them all the time/are an electrician.
Nice review! 👍
What’s the model number of the Knipex?
Thanks mate. The part number is:
A-12098-EINS
@@AddictedtoTools that’s looks more like Klein part number, not Knipex. LoL
Sorry mate. Totally miss read your comment. The part number is:
02 06 200
@@AddictedtoTools thanks, I thought so and already ordered! 👍
I never thought about that, 1 set of channels with removable grips is all you need to have all ur tools 1000v rated
😮😂
Don't try this though 😅
What size are those knipex
200mm. So they’re on the smaller side for combination pliers.
I have mostly Knipex and Wiha and i cant knock em. Their awesome. Great video mate.
Definitely can’t complain. Always gotta get the best👌
Wiha have some excellent electrican screwdrivers, i love them here in the UK
Agreed those channel lock grips give you the shits. For Americas most famous pliers they need to step up. Definitely knipex from now on
Cross cut Marvels for the win
Running fluke pliers atm, Probly best iv had been running channel lock for 10 years
Marvel pliers for the win
Just picked some up yesterday 👌
@@AddictedtoTools had a set of the cross cuts since I was a 1st yr. 3yrs later still going good
Good to hear. Can’t wait to give them a good go.

They are not insulated
