Those Raptor 87 41 250 are great for getting off rounded or chewed nuts or bolts. The beak makes then better than using standard water pliers

[@Adrianyoutubing]

that "extra" grip will be the standard dipped version only they cannot dip the smart grip, as the plastic would gum up the works. they are injection moulded grips that are fitted later.
as for live work. you cannot turn batteries off. and sometimes you have to have a system live to find the problem

[@manguydude287]

it's vinyl dipped for me, I don't work on any live 1000v gear

[@equanox100]

I wish the bottom grips on the cobras went further up on the handle. Personally. Even on the small cobras, you gotta admit there’s hardly any grip even on the bottom part of handles

[@joemccabe4490]

As for the live work, voltage drops tell a lot more accurate story than continuity

[@bcjcben]

Have you seen or used the Milwaukee VDE pliers? The titanium finished ones, wondering how they compared to the knipex

[@Tooligan2021helloyouTooligans]

Yeah I have seen them, seem good enough I think Milwaukee would only put there name to good products. 👍

Tell us what you prefer before you ask the viewer.

[@FarLanderz]

you forgot the dipped red 1000v handles, but nice video anyways :) part number 27 17 200 for example

[@Tooligan2021helloyouTooligans]

I've seen the 70 (07) 180 never used them not very common here

[@FarLanderz]

[@Tooligan2021helloyouTooligans]
