I think they’ll end up in bag sooner rather then later you TH-cam millionaire 🤣 jk Definitely a solid addition to the Klein bag, pricey but for our OCD side of things, worth Also have a couple other new products, one being that impact 11-1 so I may be doing a spin off of yours lol
@@KoolinwithKrauss 😂…. I like that 11-1 Impact.. Mostly just to build my own screwdriver for certain jobs whenever I need to. I wanted the handle more than anything.
I have the Knipex pliers wrenches in a 7 and 10 inch what I love about the pliers wrenches in general is your not marking up whatever you’re using it on where with the regular pliers with the teeth you’re marking up what you’re using them on now obviously there’s a place for both but something more delicate I like using the pliers wrench instead.
As much as I love tools and trying the latest stuff, I find myself grabbing the pipe wrenches about 70% of the time lol always bites and it's the best for turning big valves that are stuck or too hot to touch. That was not always the case though until I found aluminum pipe wrenches, those things are light as feathers.
@@KoolinwithKrauss Hopefully you take this in the fun, joking spirit, that is intended, but you having a 2" max capacity was a key factor in your marriage?
Thank you! Lol yeah I was in a area for work and figured I’d do a search and see if any were available and BAM scored a few goodies! Might just have to order them and have em shipped to store or home, but I get it I’m an instant gratification type person 😂
I have a reversable crescent that has teeth on one side for pipe. They work as good or better than channel locks and they are light. That is the only problem I saw with your new wrench. My tool pouch is as light as possible and those look heavy. Still look like good tool to keep in the truck but let's face it, if it ain't in the pouch it doesn't get used much.
I’ve seen the crescent, the adjustable wrench? I have the crescents over the channel locks, I do keep a set of channelock tongue and groove around for nostalgic sakes lol. They sure do have some heft to them, best for the heavier set of tools on very minimal amount. 👍🏻
I got one of these and the teeth started to be destroyed when trying to actuate a valve. I'll buy another pair to see if my teeth were poorly hardened or if they are just crap.
I sure hope maybe the treatment was just a bad batch! I’d hate to see the teeth fail like that! Only time will tell, the cobra teeth have been through the ringer without issues for me
@@KoolinwithKrauss it may have been the heat treat. It was not just the teeth for the jaw but the adjustment teeth as well. That plier was no longer able to hold onto anything from1"-1.25" . I have since replaced it with a new one. Further testing is required.
Not seeing a need or want for the dual jaw but ok Klein is selling made by knipex tools now I know locally knipex is hard to find in store you have to order online sometimes but Klein is on the shelf so more venues to buy locally from. And wish I broke more tools than I lost or misplaced but it’s nice to have an on the shelf option
Thanks, another review said they liked the icon grips better but for me I immediately know what you mean by stupid day comfort grips. I hate fat grips. Anybody that works on cars knows that any extra width just gets in the way of getting the job done and it does not improve comfort really it just improves slop and decreases Force if of getting the job done and it does not improve comfort really anyway if the handle is shaped right which knipex so far in my experience has great shaped slim handles. Thanks for pointing that out
Cool concept but you’re screwed if you drop and lose that Jaw piece. Just carry both pliers. Knipex makes great stuff. Also…I don’t want to fiddle with flipping a jaw piece around. I’ll just grab my Kobras if I need them on my tool belt. Also…having both smooth jaw and kobras is nice for nuts and bolts. Might as well just have both.
Definitely interesting! I’m a Big Klein fan, but a huge knipex fan as well these won’t replace the pliers wrench at all! But a nice addition to Kleins line up 👍🏻
Absolutely love the cobras, I have about 7 pairs different sizes of course! If you haven’t gotten a pair I would start with the 250’s and I think you’ll be pretty happy with those 👍🏻
I wasn't going to comment at all, but at the end you said to comment if I like the way you say Knipex. I actually don't. I prefer to pronounce the name the way the Germans do just because it's a German company. I don't really care how people pronounce words, but I try to pronounce them the way the native speakers do. I definitely notice for example that a lot of people pronounce the name Kamela different than she or her family and friends pronounce it, but I don't really care either way. Sometimes though, I do get a chuckle when people mispronounce names.
Do you prefer to say it the way they spell it out, kuh -nip-x? Or shorten the k? I was hoping to just bust some balls 🤣 I said it a few times the “correct way” but there’s always a discussion on it, I enjoy the fun!
@@KoolinwithKrauss Wow. Now you got me thinking. I usually pronounce it with a hard K followed by a short i. So Ki-nip-x. But the difference is very subtle between Ki-nip-x and Kuh-nip-x. I have no idea if this is valid or not, but when I wrote Kuh-nip-x, there is a red underline from my spell check, versus there is no red underline when I write Ki-nip-x. That may mean absolutely nothing but I thought it was interesting. By the way, I just bought a pair of Raptors and used them for the first time last night. I'm not sure what I think of them yet, but I'm questioning the main reason I bought them. I think the main reasons were because I thought they looked really cool and they have a cool name. Off topic, but Raptor is also the name of a really cool rocket engine. Anyway, I'm starting to second guess my decision, and I'm thinking that the Pliers Wrench may actually be more practical even though it doesn't have the wow factor compared to the Raptor. So I think I will order the Pliers Wrench and compare the two to see which one I like better. A lot of what I do, does involve hex nuts. Maybe I'll use both of them together because most of my work also involves lock nuts. My first Knipex tool was the Cobra, so I'll have to do extensive testing of all three to determine best use cases. I absolutely love your review style by the way. I will definitely be looking out for more of your videos. You are right up there with the Project Farm guy.
I've seen these not holding up very well and being very unreliable. Most especially where that head comes off and goes back on I think that's the weakest part and that's the part that breaks almost instantly on you.
@@KoolinwithKrauss tldr maybe just start the video by saying that it doesnt contain any useful information. but to be fair, i cant find a single video with this tool where it's actually being used except for one chick who used it to remove some fittings. so youre in good company
It an interesting one… I keep telling myself I don’t think I need it, but it may accidentally find its way into my bag.
I think they’ll end up in bag sooner rather then later you TH-cam millionaire 🤣 jk

@@MORGANSMaintenance it definitely sets itself apart, innovating for sure 👍🏻
I have owned knipex smooth jaw and the water pump style for 4 years and they are by far superior to any other water pump/channel lock style pliers.
Can’t argue with that at all! I’ll take knipex all day first choice 🤙🏻
I got a pair. Replaced my adjustable and channel locks so saved a lil weight in bag
They definitely do the trick! I hope they come out with a 7” pair, couple variations would be nice
Sweet! I didn’t know Klein made these. I will have to pick a pair up and give them a try.
Indeed, worth it in my opinion 👍🏻
This will be cool to have in a bag as the holding wrench with the 250mm cobras and pliers wrench.
For sure, Klein makes a cobra style so I have a bag with those and these 🤘🏻
Just came across the channel. Good stuff. Showing support
Much appreciated my guy 🫡 like wise!!
I like the button location on the Klein, i have a feeling they are going to end up in a few different places
Definitely a fan of the button location as well 👍🏻
Well that‘s not exactly a new invention, they copied it from Stahlwille.
I have the Knipex pliers wrenches in a 7 and 10 inch what I love about the pliers wrenches in general is your not marking up whatever you’re using it on where with the regular pliers with the teeth you’re marking up what you’re using them on now obviously there’s a place for both but something more delicate I like using the pliers wrench instead.
Totally understand! Each tool has its purpose and place for the job! I would take the pliers wrench as well!
チャンネルロックとバーコの良いとこ取りみたいで良いですね❗
私はアリゲーターを使ってますがプライヤーレンチは持って無いので気になります。
しかし日本では価格が２倍～３倍なので円高$安まで待ちます
Definitely a sweet pair of pliers!! Hope you can get them soon!! 👍🏻
Cool to know a fellow tradesman out there across the pond is using the same tools.
クラインは、カッティング･プライヤーを使ってますが網目で噛みつきが良いです。

Can’t beat the pipe wrenches. The aluminum is fantastic. I still find my self reaching for the big oranges, then realize “what the hell am I doing” 😅
you had me 2" max capacity and biting on pipe! Nice vid Bro.
Thanks man 👍🏻 those are the key factors, especially in my marriage 🤣 🤦🏼♂️
@@KoolinwithKrauss Hopefully you take this in the fun, joking spirit, that is intended, but you having a 2" max capacity was a key factor in your marriage?
I notice them in the Kline tool bin at home depot. Going back to take another look.
Definitely worth a second look pops, you’ll enjoy them!!
Awesome way to say kNIpex and I been trying to find a pair of those kleins since I seen they had came out. Great video
Thank you! Lol yeah I was in a area for work and figured I’d do a search and see if any were available and BAM scored a few goodies!

the lever is an improvement over the kworshipped brand, but that flip-over drop-out jaw I don't need. Just use a pump wrench in stead.
For sure I agree! I’ll keep a pair of each and in a pinch might utilize it 🤷♂️ thanks 👍🏻
I got one of these and the teeth started to be destroyed when trying to actuate a valve. I'll buy another pair to see if my teeth were poorly hardened or if they are just crap.

Absolutely agree!! Their like pool noodles on the tool 😂 Knipex textured dipped are my favorite as well! Thanks for watching
Going to use this for an emergency truck kit, not worth putting on my van though.
That would be a solid spot for sure! I don’t use them as much as the true pliers wrench
You almost managed a classic self-trolling video but you dropped the ball once: "Nypex"
🤣 I know that’s a hot button topic!! Thanks 😂

Ya I’ll be honest I haven’t really used the whole flip feature, it’s there if for whatever reason I need it but I just keep it as a flat jaw!
@@KoolinwithKrauss haha yeah we don’t need multi tool plier wrenches
I plan to get a pair !
I recommend s bc o 👍🏻
it may be an intresting pair of plier, but i would not replace the knipex with anything.
Definitely interesting! I’m a Big Klein fan, but a huge knipex fan as well these won’t replace the pliers wrench at all! But a nice addition to Kleins line up 👍🏻
I also do not like the way the Klein handles are shaped. Why would having them touch at the end be good? Idk.
Yeah not sure why the went that direction 🤷♂️ some manufacturers have the reamers on the bottom, think they missed that mark
I got to have em . Those Kleins look really tough . And the flip jaw is a plus. And American steel is a definite win.
Anything Klein I tend to jump on for sure! I think it’s genuinely going to be a great addition 🇺🇸 💪🏻
Nitepex. Love it.
🤣 thanks I enjoyed it haha
Grip made in USA. The plastic grip
Even when you accidentally said it right, you never did get it right😆
Kuh-Nip-X 🤷🏼♂️ 😂
Are the cobras worth it?
Absolutely love the cobras, I have about 7 pairs different sizes of course! If you haven’t gotten a pair I would start with the 250’s and I think you’ll be pretty happy with those 👍🏻
Yes yes and yes they truly are I just bought mine last week and grab like no other I had some of the plumbing guys wanting to buy them where I work at
You should have labeled the individual pliers. Somewhat confusing the different brands.
Noted 👌🏻 I thought the different colored handles was a pretty good indicator and material, I’ll make it happen next time! Thanks
Knipex quality no one can beat. Klein has a long way to go in a lot of products
Agreed! Knipex is my go to 👍🏻
Of Late , Klein has jacked up their act , in re: design and Quality ! That said Knipex in THE Plier Company !
