*sigh* Guess I gotta get the 300 raptors. I recently got the 300 pliers wrench and it’s amazing. The logic of “300 does all the 250 can do and then some” checks out. That’s how it’s been with my pliers wrenches now that I have the 300. I haven’t been using my 250 as much. 180 and 300 most of the time.

I wish Knipex made a 600 version of the cobra. I'm an electrician and I do a lot of large pipe bending/threading, I have the 560s and they are great. But when you get up to 4-in rigid conduit they are big enough to comfortably grab the pipe, however I feel they are just a bit too small to comfortably get around the coupling. The outer diameter of 4 inch rigid coupling is probably getting close to 5 inches or more.

It would be interesting to see how you organize your tool sets ie. Plumbing, electrical, dry wall..etc.

Great video showing the size difference between these tools. Thank you.

They're impossible to beat in terms of value and quality.

Love the 560, it's not as expensive as a quality pipewrench that size and you can use it for in a lot more situations. Last time I used it to pull tent pegs. It grips like noting else and you can almost stand straight using it.

I have the 300 & 400mm in Alligator & Pliers Wrench... they see regular; but not every day use. Wouldn't be without. The larger Pliers Wrench serves as a fantastic 'field press' for pressing smaller bushings, bearings & similar chores. Also note that the 400mm Alligators are configured significantly different than other Alligator family members. Even so, it's the 180mm Cobras & Alligators that see 95 plus percent of my plier use...

I love the knipex cobra pliers, I have one 250mm version with quickset mechanism and confort handles, it is my most used one. The only one missing is the 560mm one. The xl version 400 mm is enough for me. Never needed something bigger. I think they are the most popular knipex tools.

Great channel I’ve been subscribed for over a year and I believe in quality tools like you. However ever time I see one of your new videos my bank accounts like here we go again 😂. Keep up the great videos.

I got the big pliers wrench, the 560 cobras, and two of the 400's

I had a couple of smaller size Knipex Cobras. Then I went into a situation which was unable to remove the stubborn gas cylinder on one of my office chairs with a traditional pipe wrench. Ended up using a 250 cobra with a pair of steel pipes as extension and then the cylinder came off at first attempt. My immediate next move was heading to Amazon and ordered the 400.

Knipex in my opinion are some of the best tools out there. A great video brother. Oh yeahhhh, Knipex.😊

I think pack containing 125, 180 and 300 would very nicely sell

Hello again Doc Thank you for another Great Video 👍

Doc, love all the content you make. One question how many tools do you have? I thought my addiction was bad lol. Keep up the good work.

Great video.

Best oilfilter tool you can buy

i have them all and love them all

The cobras are great for plumbing applications. Especially when access becomes tricky and you can't necessarily fit a large pipe wrench in a tight area.

Another great video Doc thanks

I am waiting for my 300mm and 400mm should come in in a day or two. great video

Mmm, got the 16” lad on the way right now I probably should have gotten the 300 instead, but I also do have to tighten a lot of 3” and 3 1/4” conduit connectors

You may need these big toys if you a plumber taking care of water pipes made of steel in an old block of flats or a sky-scraper. However nowadays everyone switches to plastic pipes and probably a plastic pipe welder is used more often.

I'm getting that 300 Cobra comfort grip. Any day now it's on its way..

Man! How many last best tools do you have ? Great vídeos 😎!

I agree that Cobra 300 have the best ratio between functionality and size. I am industrial electrician and also i do heating plumbing for houses, so in my opinion 90% of the time this tool is enough for doing the job. Of course, every size have a particulary duty, so it is a place for everyone, if the toolbag do not become to heavy.

Great video, if I I to choose ONE cobra it’ll be the 300 mm.

i love the cobra and have a 400mm ones. i will get buy a 560mm for steel piping emergent equip

I'm going to pick up a pair of extra slim pair of cobra 250s to counter my 300s

Commercial electrician and the 400 are hands down, an electricians tool because it clamps down wire for a tight head like no other plier

Subbed...just got my hands on some Knipex, amazing, plires wrenches 150/180/250 and Cobra.s 250 and 100 so far...

"Hey Doc, what size Cobra should I get?" "YES"

i have been searching for the 560 pliers with that textured grip and i was wondering where someone might buy them? the slick grips that all the websites sell dont interest me, only the set of 560 you show in this video! i will special order and wait i dont care, i just want all my cobras to have the same grip

Have you seen the new Knipex quickset pliers?

You mentioned "...that they updated the number of positions". I have googled it but couldn't find any info about an update. Was the update decades ago...or not so long ago? Hope the answer to this doesn't make you feel old ;) Greeting from The Netherlands.

On a side note, now is a favorable time to buy stuff from the European Union because of their energy crisis exchange rates are good.

You have stood on a pipe wrench? I did not think the jaws could take such sideway force.

Do you ever use the plier wrench ?

300 is annoying to carry around in your back pocket. Also the 250 seems more manageable in tight spaces but maybe the difference isn’t that big

Doc have you ever looked at the pipe vice brand? I feel like they might be interesting to you.

waiting for the 1000 mm so i can move the universe

The 7 and 10 inch is pretty much all you need. Anything bigger of smaller then you probably should use a different tool for the job. And I’m sorry, but cobras will never out work a pipe wrench and that’s coming from someone who loves the knives cobras.
