A great plier design with the smooth jaws if you have the space for the handles spread apart. How about making one that grips smaller nuts and bolts? I noticed the 2 parrot jaw handles are closer than my plier wrench for the same size nut. Still in tight spaces neither are a replacement for a single handle adjustable wrench in my opinion.
FoodOnCrack The Raptor pliers works great on rusted bolts and bolts in tight areas - especially no automotive applications. With the bottom jaw reduced in size you can rotate it more before reapplying the tool. The Pliers Wrench would also work here but is meant more for chrome and other soft finishes since there are not teeth to mark them up.
@@KnipexToolsUSA I have several sizes of the plier/wrench series. These don’t seem as though they have more than a minor advantage in just a couple of use areas. If the tools weren’t so expensive, I suppose I could justify having sets of both, but otherwise, no. The wrench/pliers seem more versatile, and work very well on rusted screw heads.
I'm confused about the pinch guard, I can't tell what they're talking about or how it works. All I see is the guy quickly moving his thumb away as if there's an imaginary spring, I can't see anything that would prevent pinching.
I don’t really understand the advantage of these over the Knipex wrench/pliers that I use. They do have a smaller head, but otherwise, why would I buy these when I have the others? Are they that much better for this?

Joe Davies I think its because Knipex is a German word not an English one so it doesn't use the English terminology, like the K is silent in Knife. Also I was in Germany last year and I wondered into a hardware store and the people working there pronounce it with a K.
+iShootBandits knife was the wrong example, the k was too long. it should be short and swift like in kick, kim. if this narator would pronounce these words it would sound like ka-ick and ka-im ;)
I never seize to be amazed by the level of ignorance, even and especially since you are living in a 1st world country in the 3rd millennium, with all the opportunities of a modern education system and a world connected by the internet at your finger tips... this is why everybody looks down on Americans. And there is an American posting this exact same comment to every single Knipex video on TH-cam... ahh-ha-ha-haaa. Painful.
The Channellock 410 Nut Busters are 100x better because they have teeth and are like half the price. You’re not going to be loosening any round stock or rounded nuts with a toothless tool lol.
Why didn't they just called it the Parrot pliers :)
I guess parrot pliers just isn't bad ass enough...
preso dos alicate
iShootBandits it is. Same letters, different order
Parrots are Raptors
@@heretolevitateme absolutely, given the gift of flight.
I have a pair of these, they work excellent on damaged bolts... I also like them for tube nuts.
dearmanville h
Just purchased one on Amazon. No more knuckle busters. 👍
Why didn't they call this The Parrott?
knipex are just bringing out better and better tools ,,, slightly larger version would be great too
The pronunciation police strikes again.
This is a excellent tool.

So.. Then what is the difference between this plier and the pliers wrench?

why didnt they use the open side of the wrench on that bolt? or put the the raptor underneath the bolt and see if it would fit. come on now.
I need a Raptor to go with my Cobra!

No matter where you set the pliers
There will be enough room between the handles so you dont crush your fingers
I have a set of Pliers Wrench, the Raptor would still be useful?
These good for toilet bolts or faucet supply lines nuts to remove?

I want this matireal rate
what is the price of Raptor pliers
Wonder how this would do on a seized tie rod jam nut
If the upper head is shaped like a parrot and the bottom is shaped like a beak why is it called raptor and not a parrot?
It's obviously a parrot
hello #knipex #tools it s a good video thx #69plombierchauffagiste #plumber #plumbing
شكرا للتواصل
I wonder how the narrator says "Knife" when he says "kanipex", does he butter bread with a "kanife"?

+iShootBandits They don't say kanipex though. Just knipex.
+OwLoLz um... actually they do several times.

The teeth are what causes you to round the bolt
No shit that’s what the cobras are for
No channel lock brand pliers are better than Knipex. I'm a plumber who uses pliers 100s of times a day and I've tried all brands.
