Vice: you can use the pliers to hold something, and then close them back up into the tool. The tension of the tool storing away will vice the item in place. Soldering wires, holding two items together to let the glue dry on, hold a flashlight for hands free use, ect.
Good tip
Super ideal! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your tip!
Wow no kidding, as soon as I read this I thought "no way- this might actually work" and immediately had to try it and you sir were 100% spot on and this is brilliant 👏 I now have even more uses for my Swiss champ lol as if they don't already do enough 🤣 I love these things! One day I'd like to own that really big Swiss army but for now I've got a few Swiss Champs and they literally serve most any purpose I could need from them...
@@kevinAuman1 What I appreciate about these tools... the tool count is not the limiting factor. The SAK's pocket size is not the limiting factor. The metal quality is not the limiting factor. We the user, are the limiting factor. 👍
I feel like Swiss Army Knives are one of the few products made by big companies nowadays that are made to last as much as possible rather than break easily so that costumers have to buy new ones all the time.
Great in a vehicle for pulling those tiny fuses...
Super hint… thanks a lot!
Shoud be a small size plastic tool in most Fuses boxes thers a also there's a reason why it's made from plastic🔥 ☺ but i see what your saying fantastic idea 👍
i used it once exactly like that, because fuse was stuck and so was to fuse removing tool...
Used mine to pull the fuse for my swimming pool. Works perfectly
Felix Immler= the most enthusiastic personality on TH-cam!
Thank You for your informative and fun-to-watch content Felix.
Comment #2: I never forget those two videos of the marine biologists extracting a plastic straw from a turtle's nose, each with their respective Swiss Champ, using those pliers.
I found that it was a better pair of tweezers than the actual tweezers! I had to remove about 100 cactus needles from a camper one time! The tweezers didnt have enough great p to do this!!!
I always thought the Pliers felt solid, were well-made, had VERY precise tolerances, and were and very high quality
I've used mine, in my work, maybe once a fortnight since 2009, when i was gifted my 'Angler' SAK (even though i don't use it for fishing)
They're still perfect, despite the extreme 'abuse' i've sometimes given them, in my occasional daily line of work
Well done Victorinox,
Cheers Felix - You Rock 👍
Thank you so much Thomas!
As a computer tech I have the cybertool the pliers have been invaluable for all sorts of handy uses. Even crimping electrical spade terminals.
Its been too long since Felix has made a tips and tricks video, great to see the series back!
You can dunk the pliers head to alcohol, and then use it as sterile forceps like in a medical emergency situations.
I will now use my pliers more , thanks Felix ⚔️👊👍
Super… thanks a lot!
Жизнерадостный человек, который занимается любимым делом. Не жизнь, а мечта 💪🏻
Это да!
Thanks for this wonderful Feedback!
Great ideas! I’ve been using mine as great fishing pliers too. Here in the USA, we have many new medicine bottles of pills where you have to remove a tab under the lid. Sometimes they are hard to grip to pull off, but these precise pliers make it easy :)
Thanks for your interesting Comment
This sounds painful, but is very effective. I use the SAK pliers as tweezers to remove hair from my nostrils and ears. The pliers can remove very short hairs from difficult to reach corners. They also remove clumps of hairs, and not just one or two like tweezers do. This is actually my main use for the pliers.
Thank for your intersting Feedback!
I thought I was the only one that did this!!
Used to use the scissors but after nipping myself and creating a bloody mess right before a meeting, I now gladly tolerate the pain of pulling out the hairs. And it doesn’t leave “stubble”.
Can you use the removed clumps of hair as tinder to start a fire???
You're right, but the thought makes my eyes tear up. 😅
I think the Turks solved this problem hundreds of years ago- Rick Steves went to a Turkish barber shop and they had basically a smoldering q-tip which they used to trim/singe the hairs
@@bobkrohn8053 only earhair has enough wax for tinder.... LOL
Wie immer sehr Ideen- und einfallsreich und toll gezeigt lieber Felix! Zum was kleines reparieren auch immer prima! LG Sepp
Danke mein Freund! LG
I use mine all the time on my Swiss champ, as a matter of fact I loved it so much I bought a 2nd Swiss champ and I keep one in each vehicle also have an old one in my junk drawer that I'm constantly reaching for....
Don't like to go anywhere without my swisschamp. This makes all the sense.
Swisschamp is the “resident” SAK in most of my EDC bags and autum/winter coats.
Nice one Felix I bet you thought I disappeared No, I’m still here good review till the next video Ciaooo bye can’t beat a Swiss Army Tool in my opinion
Finally pulled the trigger on a champ and I have to say am loving it over my compact 😂😂 it's realy annoying me how all my cheep tools don't rust like my leathermans but in the UK so be the champ lol thanks for the video mate I can live with small non rusting pliers if I need a decent set as you know we grab the knipex 😂😂👍
I often find the pliers useful when undoing knots ;)
I heard sometimes there good for holding small particles of a plant rolled up in Paper and set on 🔥
Thank you, now my handyman is even more handy =) love your videos
Thank you!
We like to eat sunflower seeds but the shell is sometimes too hard to break with our fingers. For some reason we don’t do it with our teeth .An ordinary nutcracker is too big , even a pair of pointed nose pliers is too big . But the plier you describe is ideal. Long live Victorinox. !
Thanks for your fantastic idea!
What the Victorinox SAK pliers lack in size, they make up for in dexterity. I love that they're sprung and you get excellent control with the large SAK body to grip and thumb operation. Much better for many tasks than larger unsprung pliers, in my opinion.
The Swiss Work Champ has been my EDC at work for nearly two decades.
Partly because those little pliers are so darned useful.
Love your videos, and got your books.
Cheers, from Chris in Cornwall UK.
Thanks a lot for Your Support!
i thought the queen didnt allow these in England?
@@trappistachel
It's a bit of a grey area.
But basically if you're at work and it's a reasonable piece of equipment to carry given the nature of your work, then it's legit.
I'm a gardener by trade. I have alot of blades tools, axes, saws, shears and my knife which is all legally allowed for work.
But if I wasn't working andwent down to the pub or shopping whilst carrying my Work Champ, then that's where an offence is being committed.
So on those occasions I have a shorter non locking Swiss Army Knife in my pocket, that so long as it's not used in a threatening manner is perfectly legal.
Cheers, Chris.
I'm in the UK i take my work champ down the pub all the time not a problem 🍻
One more use for wire cutter - if u cut wire on 45' u get quite sharp point just by cutting.
Thx for another good and usefull video!
Nice upload as always Felix! 3:30 You can also press the needle against the table or a piece of wood and press the leather workpiece on top, this will give you even more power with thicker leather or whatever you want to sew.
Super idea. Thanks a lot!
For this video, one single like is simply not enough!
Judging by the listing on Amazon, the least expensive Victorinox with pliars is the Tinker at about $42. Next is the Evolution S52 at $54.59 and the Handyman at $58.73.
I prefer the pliers over the wine bottle opener
It’s the Deluxe Tinker my EDC
As an electronics tech, these tiny pliers are much more handy than I expected when I first saw how small they were.
They're very handy for holding things to solder or bending component legs.
One of the best unexpected uses for them is as tweezers, both for grooming and splinter removal.
Hello Edward. Thanks a lot for this interesting feedback!
Subscribed. I have always carried a SAK w/pliers in the field. Folks complain about them, but as you have demonstrated, they are for finer details.
Thank you!
Thanks a lot for your Sub!
Great ideas! How about for car fuses and other small engine repair?
Swiss champ or workchamp or handyman?
I have 2 Swiss champs (1 is a spare) and a Work Champ. I take both with me when I go fishing so I can use both pliers when working with wire for troll baits.
I also find the pliers much easier to use when removing treble hooks from a fish mouth rather than trying to remove it with the hook disgorger in my old Swiss champion and Swiss champ.
Für mich als Angler immer dabei , das Champ . Die Aderendhülsen Vorrichtung finde ich auch sehr brauchbar. Damit hab ich schon etliche Hülsen gesetzt. Klein ,aber fein und immer da. Alles Gute
I think I heard you have to demonstrate all uses of every swiss army tool before they let you graduate high school in Switzerland.
The master at work again!
Thank you so much!
I’ve always liked the pliers, just wish they had them on a simple knife for camping. Something like large & small blades, can opener & bottle open, wood saw, pliers. They would be perfect for adjusting the simmer ring on the Trangia & grabbing a small hot pot.
@alf3553 the Victorinox Handyman has the features you mentioned plus a file and scissors.
@@Gadgeteer22
I have looked at a few of the different models. Love my SAK’s . I picked up 5 camper knives that I found on sale for less then half price, some for me & Christmas present’s.
Thanks a lot for your interesting feedback…
I have a Wenger Buck which has all these except the saw!
Handyman
I received a Champ with the belt pouch as a gift many years ago. My EDC is a Huntsman, but if I'm going camping, hunting, fishing, or anything afield, I bring my Champ. It's like carrying a toolbox on your belt.
I agree,I see it as a small toolbox as well
The pliers are also useful when working with paracord. Pulling short working ends and crimping melted ends shut come to mind. The tip about direction of force application was immensely useful, too. And that fish looked mighty tasty. Thanks, as always, for the terrific video!
A friend got a flat tire on his bike from a piece of wire embedded through the rubber tread to the inside. The pliers on my Deluxe Tinker were able to remove the wire to allow putting a new tube back in while out on the road.
I recently used mine to pinch close the holders on windshield wiper blades to remove them.
Lieber Felix, es ist jedesmal eine große Freude, zu sehen, wieviel Freude Dir Deine Arbeit macht - You´re a lucky man :)
Vielen Dank für das schöne Kompliment!
My fav sak is huntsman and super tinker i use the pliers fir fish hook removal and grabbing hot cans of beans off the 🔥
4.22 as an Austrian (Victorinox-Fan of course ;-) ), I must realy grin and smile at your "Sausage fingers"...😋😉
just got myself a nice Handyman. perfect moment for this video!
Thanks for watching!
@@FelixImmler always
My fingers are too thick to remove micro SD card from my GoPro, and from drone, so this pliers can be very helpful in this case..
Super idea!
The wire cutter is perfect for cutting guitar strings B)
I have watched your many videos, which seemed to make me have an idea to survive only with one swiss army knife. Thank you very much! I've learned a lot from your videos.
I've always liked those pliers. They shouldn't be compared with the pliers found in the Swiss Tool, which are much sturdier. The 91mm pliers is for smaller jobs and have saved the day on many occasions.
That's right. Those pliers are for smaller jobs, of course. While the pliers in the Swiss Tool set is for more serious stuff. Nevertheless, those pliers are all good for our daily usage.
I was 8 years old when I received my first Victorinox as a christmas gift. I put it through some serious abuse being a kid, but absolutely loved it and wouldn't be without it. At 21 I purchased the angling edition and I still have it to this day. It's been used on so many projects and repairs (and fishing trips) that I've lost count. Last Christmas in my 43rd year, my wife bought me a Champ, and I'm still learning all about the different functions. The pliers were a major feature for me - I use them regularly for everyday repairs including jewellery. The crimpers are a fantastic edition for fishing and making rigs, especially sea fishing when crimps are needed to secure tough rigs. Thanks to this video, I only just learned about the wire cutter feature at the base of the plier opening. Stay safe and well Felix, I loved this and many other of your videos!
This is a great tutorial video. It arrives before the arrival of a Victorinox Mechanic that I am buying.
Ich habe gestern schon zum dritten Mal mit der Zange meinen Euro aus einem Einkaufswagen gerettet.
Früher fand ich die verstellbare Wengerzange besser, aber wenn man diese mit der von Victorinox Vergleicht stellt man fest dass die Victorinoxzange präziser und griffiger ist 👍
I'd be the last person on the planet to disagree with Felix, but here I am; the last person on the planet. The SAK "[;oers"are a step above shit. I didn't see anything in this video that I couldn't accomplish with something else, be it another SAK or a bandana. If I have to make a fish hook from a paper clip, I've got no business fishing. If I can't lift a hot pan off a fire without a bandana, I don't belong anywhere near a heat source. I I've learned a lot from you, Felix, but this time you're wrong. The SAK pliers are a joke without a punchline.
Thanks for your feedback!
Another EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT VIDEO!!
That makes me happy. Thank you!
For me I have the SAK Handyman for light work and the Leatherman Wave+ for heavy duty... My perfect Tool kit no matter where I am.... Love My SAK Use it everyday.... And LOVING Your vids Felix..... So damn informative........ Thank you
Thank you so much!!
i use the pliers on my Handyman to change nozzles on my 3D printer, since i bought a bunch that didn’t match an wrench i had. underrated tool imo
I've been looking for a pair of pliers mainly to use as a pot grabber on my mess tin, I know I could borrow one from my trangia mini but where's the fun in that? I never knew victorinox had one the mini knipex ones look well handy though
Yes , they work well. Not for heavy duty... bur for camping stuff they work well.
Love your videos and your enthusiasm is contagious.
I would like to see a 1.5mm hole at the longer end of the pliers. that way you can test if the wire is bigger. And it shouldn’t impact the too strength.
Siper idea...thank you!
Thanks, Felix! I was very undecided between choosing a SAK with a metal saw or with pliers. This helped me decide I would get a lot more use from the pliers. You are a Meister at making videos that are entertaining and packed with great tips. :-)
I want to get a Swiss Champ, but it is costly and very wide. I just bought an evolution model to get the locking blade and screwdriver.
hello Craig. Thanks for your comment!
I didn't think I would use the pliers very much, but after getting a craftsman model, I accidentally discovered that pliers are handy much more often than I ever imagined.
The same with me!
I am a woman. Last summer I purchased as a keyring small cheap multitool with pliers. After some months I was surprised- how often I have used it!
Now I purchased a Swiss kniwe Handyman model with pliers, saw, scissors, etc.
I want to get one good Leatherman multitool, too.
I think- 3 multitools will be the same as own a big tool box in my house.
@@MSkachenite yes!! I have a Leatherman charge that I keep with me everyday, I think it's my favorite Leatherman.
@@knifecharlatan8912 I am looking to Leatherman Surge now.
There are changeable saw blades and changeable diamant file. If you want, you can use there very long saw from BOSH collection, too.
Huh... with pliers like these I might actually go fishing. I love fishing but I am deathly afraid of touching insects or worms, so the pliers would be great to grab the worm and put it on the hook. I think they are disgusting and filth so I don't wanna touch them. Especially if I imagine I accidentally stab my finger with the hook and the worm's guts spill into it 🤢
😂
I've had my Swiss Champ for probably a couple of years now and I'm STILL learning things about it.
Hallo Felix. Gibt es eigentlich ein (qualitativen) Unterschied zwischen den Victorinox und den "Wenger" Modellen (Evolution)? Mir ist zum Beispiel aufgefallen, das die Klinge beim "Wenger Modell" schmaler ist. Kannst du dazu mal ein Video machen? Mit freundlichen Grüssen aus den Wallis
While watching videos like this, I use my pliers to open any unopened pistachio nuts...
Thanks for your Inspiration!
I waiting for this video!
Thanks!
I just want to share that I am born American and lived in the US my whole life (aside from a once in a lifetime 3 week trip to Germany, Switzerland and Austria).
I never understood why so many people around the world believed the metric system was better until I recently got a Victorinox SKA. It's so much more visually intuitive making it a lot less prone to measurement errors. I can't believe I am finally only learning this now and that it's all because of work with my SKA. I wish the imperial system would go away but the US is way too involved with it. It's everywhere here. 😩
Anyway, thank you Felix for these great videos. They've been a huge inspiration for me.
With my Wurstfinger 🥰
😂
“Sausage fingers!” 😂
😆
Spectacular job Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and hello from Detroit Michigan USA brother 👋👋
Really enjoy this series, Sir 😊 Great job and indeed very inspiring.
Greetings from Israel
That fish looks so delicious.🐟 😌👍🏻
Yes… i like it too
I have always considered the pliers to be the weak point of SAK features, this is the one area where Leatherman excels over Victorinox.
But you're comparing what's essentially dignified tweezers to full-size pliers. A proper comparison is SwissTool versus what Leatherman offers. My personal experience tells that the swiss multitools are far superior in quality and finish.
The Swiss Tool is the one you should compare with the Leatherman, not the 91mm Victorinox pliers. The Swiss Tool is much better than the Leatherman as well.
Multitool pliers and knife pliers are apples and oranges. Each made for different work. Not a legitimate comparison. Like testing a scalpel against a two meter scimitar. With respect.
Aaaah, Nice one Felix
Few things i didn't know !
Top Man !!!
👋🇧🇾✌️Hello, Felix - Mr. VixMan 👌. Thank's again for a great tips 👍👍👍!!!
Thanks a lot!
Danke für den spannenden Beitrag. Kannst Du mal erläutern, welche Messer Deine Lieblingsmesser sind und warum das Swiss Champ nicht dazu gehört?
Ich mag das Victorinox Huntsman. Das hat alles was ich im Wald brauche. Aber das ist sehr individuell. Das Swiss Champ ist mir zu gross. Aber wenn Dich das nicht stört.. das ist das Swiss Champ natürlich klasse :-D LG
First comment
Thanks Kevin!
Thank you again on a great video! We are glad to see you highlight the use of the pliers. We use them frequently, especially for cooking at in the woods ( I use a plate as frying pan and the pliers as the handle) i also use the pliers to work a wire around my pot to make a handle so I can hang the pot over the fire. I own many Victorinox knives but mainly use the Hercules ( modified the scales and screwdriver, thanks to you again!) and the Evolution 52 (modified as well and is almost like a mini Hercules) Cheers from Canada!
I think the more adjustable Wenger pliers are more versatile without taking up more room on the knife.
Yes, this is True…
Wenger pliers are thinner which make them even less sturdy.
The adjustable Wenger pliers have their uses, but nonetheless I prefer the Victorinox ones since they are less “fiddly” for me.
4:22 "Sausage fingers"... lol
Awesome uses of the pliers my good friend. You always surprise me with new ideas. As another usage of the pliers I'll recommend it as a holder for your nipple piercing you wanted 🤣🤣🤣 clamp the rusty nail in the pliers and whack with stone....like you showed us with the small nail. 😅😅😅
Just kidding.....
You can spread open the pliers when you have a broken socket from a lightbulb, to remove it. With that trick I've removed quite a lot in the past. Just make sure to switch the Power off before you remove a broken lampsocket (the Metal Part of a lightbulb). But it works like a charm.
Have a great day buddy. Looking forward to your next Video.
Cheers, Mike
Btw, soon to be close in your area again, maybe we will make it this time for a cold beer. 😁🙌🏻
Hey Mike. Was für eine Freunde von Dir zu lesen! Ja... das verdammte Nippelpiercing.. haaa ha haa das bin ich noch schuldig.. was....🤣🤣🤣 Danke für den Lustigen Kommentar. Bis hoffentlich bald wieder mal!! LG
Cool
Thanks!
Is there something like this with pliers and scissors, without other tools? I have been carrying a Classic (the most simple and small) for decades, the only thing I miss is pliers. If I want pliers, then I have to go much bulkier and heavier.
I had a swiss army mechanic 20 years ago. One of my favorite of all time , but long lost and discontinued. It was my first introduction to the piers.
It would be nice if the mechanic were to be made today
Not a heavy duty tool but definitely a handy duty tool ❤
i agree..
Pulling or plug in tiny connectors on a Mainboard.
Thanks for your hint!
I bought this 33 functions victorinox it is fantastic 👌
Thanks a lot Kate!
It’s a super tool, incredibly
The pliers are great for taking out those super tight knots
It can also be used to reach in between two objects that our sausage fingers can't . For example, After making that fish hook, I dropped it in the crack on the granite surface I was using for my work surface. Thanks, as always for your work and thoughts. Be Well and Good Journey Richie
Thanks a lot Richi..
I always go fishing with paper clips !!!
Haaa ha haa it's not true...
Not going to lie, I've seen them and thought they were silly, no comparison to the Leatherman tool in my other pocket but wow, new respect for them! Thanks!
Victorinox SAK pliers are very underrated. They are criticized for their small size, but I find them way more useful in everyday life than the large pliers of plier based multitools
I make jewelry and I have found that for the type of jewelry I make these are the perfect combination of bending and cutting
Third :D
Thanks for visiting my Channel!
Hello, Felix - great video! This is a great resource(as are all your videos), so I can better use the pliers in particular and SAKs in general...you make the subject matter fun and interesting...thanks!!
Always a revelation watching one of your videos, great information. Thank you Felix.
Thank you for such an imaginative video. SAKs are the best.
Thank you very much!
Second 😃
Congratulation😁
Ich you have to make a Video for the use of a Tool, Something ist wrong. ITS Like making a Video for the use of a chair
