I bought a pair of the 7-1/4″ pliers wrench by Knipex a little while back. I liked them so much I went after more. These things aren’t cheap, but man they are some great pliers. Thought I would try out the cobras too. These are both the 10″ pliers.[External image (images.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Good looking pliers Kruton. Congrats on the new tools.
One thing I love my pliers wrench for is for straightening out dented putty knifes or painters tools etc. I hate when my favorite one hits a screw or nail or something and dents the blade. The Knipex pliers wrench acts like a mini metal brake and after a little metal bending all but the worst dents can be smoothed out pretty well!
Yeah, they are just awesome for bending and straighten thing, thightning nuts and a lot of other random stuff.
Probably one of the most usefool and versatile tools I own. 🙂
After having my Cobra’s for about 6 weeks now. They are my go to tool. I haven’t even looked at my channel locks which is a shame because i love them.
I have a fair number of Alligators and a Cobra or two, but I want to pick up a couple Pliers Wrenches…
Those pliers are awesome man good buy bro those are gonna last u a long time!!
Very nice. I’m still waiting on my knipex order to come through 😥

How do you like the pliers wrench so far? I love mine. I have air conditioning class this semester and I guarantee they will get used in the shop.kruton wrote:

I love them. I have the 7-1/4″ and 10″ now and I use them all of the time. I just feel like I get a better grip when I use them. The one thing I would like is the new adjustment button they have now that allows you to push the handle to tighten them. Mine are the style that you have to push in the button to move. Other than that I will probably never use my old Craftsman channel locks again!NicholasShetley wrote:

I already own the linesmans and the installation pliers. Iv been using a cheap no name linesman for years so I decided to buy the knipex and they are very well made.
They look sweet. Had a look on the UK Amazon site and their VDE tool range is same price as my CK tools, both are German companies. Knipex have some nice networking crimpers. Going to have to check them out. Thanks.
Those look nice. I have a pair of Knipex cable cutters, and I love them.
