I put some red shrink tube on mine and made handles. Looks more like it’s larger brothers now and the grip is more comfortable too. These are great little pliers.
They're great for what they r but if u will be using u work in any sort of trade that will require u to use ur edc pliers on a regular day basis I strongly recommend that u go with the slightly larger 125mm knipex cobra.
I have these. I do plumbing and electrical handyman and renovation work. I use them all the freakin time. Well worth the price tag, even if they are the perfect tool only occasionally.
The next size up with the rubber grips are still incredibly small and still fit in, for example, one of the back sleeves of a Condor pocket pouch. I found these 4" ones incredibly tiny.
I pair these with the smooth jaw version and carry in a klein leather pouch. They're great at just about everything , and very handy. With both pliers i can turn a nut on a bolt while holding the opposite end from moving.
My 2 pennies- 1. For edc, they should disassemble for easier carry. This would allow us to carry bigger size for the same space expense. 2. Knipex are the highest quality and performance, but irwin and channellock brands are a much better value. The channellock brand handles dirt and abuse much better than the knipex for a quarter the price.
I haven't pulled the trigger on the smaller pair yet, been looking at it in my cart and somehow this video makes its way to me...thanks for spying on me Google
i have been EDC carrying pliers like that for the last 15++ years. Only my ones have red rubber handles, and are about 5% bigger. It is a part of my EDC kit a carry because i daily ride my Supermoto bikes. And with daily riding a dirt bike to work, you need some tools with you :)
I have the 5 inch cobra (not the xs) and attached it to my key chain. The cord through the upper handle and around the lower one and up through the upper handle.
I've had a pair of these in my carry pretty much since they came out. It's ridiculous how often I end up using them. They work in so many situations it's impossible to keep track.
They also produce a similar one, that can open nuts in all metric and inch sizes. They are sold together as EDC tools in a small pouch here in Germany for 65 euros.
Gotta say I just bought these after a million videos like this and I'm returning them asap. They're unusably small. I can't manipulate them with one hand at all which completely negates most of the convenience. Better off destroying my hands like I have for the past ten years. They'll be hard as steel eventually...
FYI, it's pronounced Kuh-nip-ex. They even have a special video on the proper pronunciation. Just sayin. I carry these little pliers every day in my edc pouch. They're pricey but mam are they worth it. I use them constantly. I added shrink tube on the handles of mine to help with grip and give a bit of cushion. I also cold blued where they were bare metal to help with corosion resistance
@@everydaycarry Where I am one of these plus a Victorinox Climber or Supertinker costs about the same as a Leatherman Squirt...so not at all expensive in comparison.
Listen bro, I'll tell you how to say "Knipex". K-nee-pex Okay? Now if you wanna Americanize it you can say: K-nip-ex But the K is definitely not silent.
Unless you're using this on daily basis, i don't see the needs to have this on me. EDC comunity become just like other community; all hype over functions.
Lol well here in Europe I can buy one of these, plus a Victorinox Super Tinker or Climber, for the same price as a Leatherman Squirt so it's a no brainer.
@@greapsoho they've got a shirt out that shows it pronounced as kuh-nip-x👍 it's a cool shirt and can be viewed on Google or other youtube videos. They're really good tools and very well made😁
@@TwoTenTwice thank you for telling me about the shirt. That's cool that they have a north American version! If you ever do decide to learn German or go to Germany( or decide to start watching German tool channels, including that of Knipex) you might be a little surprised👍
@@greapsoho I'm always interested in learning different language and culture. I had a feeling neither of us was wrong. I may have to do some digging into that to see/hear how its pronounced in Germany 👍 thanks for sharing!! A lot of people would just adamantly say you're wrong instead of being open to learning. I certainly didn't know it was pronounced differently there and in north America 👍😁

you can get almost double the leverage with the 5 inch model than the 4 inch model. The 4 inch is pretty bad

How much

I've been carrying a 7 inch pair in my front pocket, doesn't bother me at all and is super handy to have around
So have I l, I think it’s the perfect size for edc and gives you more to offer then the smaller ones
Yeah I carry a 120 alligator for years before I bought the 100s 120s 180s
I carry the 16" in my front pocket
I have 6" lets be best friends!
I love that you can adjust it with one hand.
Thats why it has no button, like the neyt sizes up.
I haven't pulled the trigger on the smaller pair yet, been looking at it in my cart and somehow this video makes its way to me...thanks for spying on me Google
4 inches? That's massive, right guys?!
😂 Yep
Very cool and useful pliers. Good edc.
Knipex ist pronounced with a hard K and a long I.
Every Knipex is great!
Quality made in Germany 🇩🇪

They are awesome. They are also pronounced KA-NIP-EX.
Yup, kuh-nip-ex
not in germany. Just K-NIP-EX
Yeah also the I is not pronounced like nip in German
@Cavallo Do you pronounce Knife/knife/knee with a K?
No. Only in america. German its as @Sea Kyle said Knipex with a hard K
Yes, I would carry that
They also produce a similar one, that can open nuts in all metric and inch sizes. They are sold together as EDC tools in a small pouch here in Germany for 65 euros.
Awesome and handy for so many small jobs 🛠️💪🏼
Yeah.. don’t let it size fool you. It can get the job done! Sometimes….
Sometimes these are a lifesaver
Yes these are a definite must have radar 👍🏼👍🏼 thx😎🇺🇸🤙🏼
I feel confident after watching.
Lots of guys can do a lot with 4 inches.
Im ordering it today
Yes!

I have the little red ones. I have them in my motorcycle bag
Got em. Love em.
Very cool i an going get a set pall
I spent $55 on these. And $45 on the 10 inch cobras. Something doesn't add up.
The EDC meme is consoomer slop advertising.
I keep a set in my wallet. I use them several times a week
K is not silent.
My guy said NYPEX 😂
How much
Kuh-nip-ex (but make the 'kuh' very short, and rrrroll into the 'nipex').
'Nigh pecs' just means you're near pectorial muscles worth mentioning
lmaooo
U have to pronounce the "K" in Knipex.. its not like knife oder knee.. u have also pronounce the "i" little longer than normal
EDC pliers
Did he for real just pronounce Knipex like that 😂
Did he for real just pronounce "made in Germany"?

The 5in one is better though this is the smallest.
Freakin love them ❤
Do you carry them?
@@everydaycarryyup
Did he really say “nye-pex?!?!
why?
Nighpex????? That’s a new one! Lmao. Js the 5” have a way larger capacity and are still edc sized
The price is ridiculous on these. I really want one but can't justify it to myself. JFC
Other brands are good enough. Even have some advantages over the knipex
I already do 😂
They are definitely nice but the price puts me off. It's hard to justify $30+ for something I might use.
Yeah, i can definitely see that perspective
@@everydaycarry Where I am one of these plus a Victorinox Climber or Supertinker costs about the same as a Leatherman Squirt...so not at all expensive in comparison.
I just think you pronounced like that so I would have to look in the comments after the short...
The K is NOT silent
Say it with me, KA-nip-EX, it's a German name. I just saved you a LOT of heckling, lol.
Oh yeah, our tiktok viewers made sure to let us know 😅
@@everydaycarry lol
Every time you said the name I cringed
@@chriswhite2346same here lol
Thanks teach 🤜🏼 😂
You're pronouncing it wrong, the K is not silent.
Kaneepex
Idk man, 4 inches is pretty huge 😅
I think the 125mm Knipex is way better!
This is tiny? I have a pair of vice grips half that size.
Who makes them?
You guys be using these as a wrench.... Use a wrench these are for round objects like pipes or grabbing something like a cotter pin...
Anyone who never had one will wish they got it years ago
The price here in Germany is 21 Euros.
Why would edc guys need this? They already have 7 knives to open amazon packages
Not Nippex
Not Kuhnippex
Its Nyeppex 😂
IT IS A HARD K NOT A SILENT K
nope. If it's spelled like the kni in knife
I'm pronouncing it that way. Nye-pex can get bent
Need m
Price?
I'm getting one lol
Glad to help!
I have two of them... They can't even get my diegrinder tight👎🏻
Can we please say the Company name Properly?
You’re pronouncing it wrong it’s pronounced kin•ip•ex
Nip-ex. Speak English not nonsense.
Listen bro, I'll tell you how to say "Knipex".
K-nee-pex
Okay? Now if you wanna Americanize it you can say:
K-nip-ex
But the K is definitely not silent.
EDC community has to be the most cringe thing I have ever heard
Night pads are for ladies unlike Knipex
It’s pronounced Knipex not Knipex
I don't fault you, but this is exactly what happens when people insist its nip-pex.
Nigh-pex?! lmao
Night pads sounds like its for ladies…
Night pads are for ladies🤣
Night pads are for ladies…🤣
It’s pronounced “kuh-nip-ex”
everyone in the comments is complaining about how you say knipex as if they don't mispronounce solder, volks wagon and croissant all the time
So many losers worried about how you say the name 😂
Kneepex. You pronounce the k as it’s a German word .
It’s not naipex
They are pronounced kinipex
Bahco make a better version.
"Without having to commit to a full size multi-tool." Please, tell me where these EDC people are that just need the pliers.
Kuh-ni-pex
There is no "uh" sound. It's a hard k followed by n.
Tiny? 4 inches is a lot... for a plier i mean.
It’s average
Kuh-nipex B R U H
Now you just need to learn how to pronounce the name
Stop saying it wrong…
Are there any budget alternatives these little bastards cost around $100 in NZ.
Nice steal of content from xcessorizeme
Unless you're using this on daily basis, i don't see the needs to have this on me. EDC comunity become just like other community; all hype over functions.
Y’all are goofy af. Seriously
Ka neep-ex
Pronounced (ka-nip-ex)it is a German company so the pronounce the k
It's German so pronounce the vowels correctly as well...
They are stupid expensive! They should be $10 or less. They cost more than the same larger pliers!
Lol well here in Europe I can buy one of these, plus a Victorinox Super Tinker or Climber, for the same price as a Leatherman Squirt so it's a no brainer.
You pronounced it wrong
they're pronounced kuh'nip'ex👍
It's German ... K- nee-pex.
@@greapsoho they've got a shirt out that shows it pronounced as kuh-nip-x👍 it's a cool shirt and can be viewed on Google or other youtube videos. They're really good tools and very well made😁

Knipex = Kuh-ni-pex is the right pronunciation. The company says so not me
Maybe listen to the Germans again. They don't pronounce i like we do in English
There is no "uh" sound in it.
Just k, followed by the n.
Knee-pecs
