This is the way to finally get a US electrician to use a Knipex tool.

Keeping my Knipex Cobra & Pliers wrench 😅

I've heard major issues with the hardness of the teeth on this and they strip out within the first few times you use it. This is why I only buy Knipex. You never have to worry about that with them.

I love knipex ❤❤❤

Knipex will always be the pioneer. This is a great tool.

Nice clip. Interesting to see Klein copy and slightly modify the designs for two different Knipex tools. Where are these made?

That's....actually really cool

I love how the button to unlock it is much lower on the handle.

I could see it being good for someone who works out of a bag a lot: my concern with the jaw coming out like that is it's not going to be as rock solid as a knipex.

It's also a hammer when an electrician needs a hammer. Literally anything they have in their hands become hammers

When I ran a franchised tool truck route, new tools like this plier would be brought in for 'show & tell' to the customers as an opening to make a small impulse sale and generate the conversation towards selling more tools.

I hope they make a 4 inch and 5 inch model💯

I've had a Pittsburgh adjustable wrench like that for years, best $10 I've spent on a tool. Amazingly strong for it's size and the pipe side was able to twist a 3/4 thick steel rod 😮 i thought it was slipping, nope! The solid rod was twisting 😊

I will happily keep both of my Knipex Cobra and Pliers Wrench.

I like the rear button. Wish Knipex had of done that before i ordered all 8 of them..

I always love a good plier-ranch

Reminds me of the RoboGrip pliers from Sears back in the 90s but without the automatic adjustment feature 🤔

As long as the work environment isn’t gritty dirty, hell yeah! I can see that slide channel gunking up fast.

Poor vice grips being neglected since the new guy came through the door

Love the plier wrench from Knipex, wouldn’t mind a cheaper one for work specifically, but the 7” is the most useful and the knockoffs are all larger

That is a pretty clever improvement to parallel jaw pliers 👍

You had me at the adjustment button

So basically Klein went China mode with Knipex.

Really awesome!

Love my Klein tools, but I've got a lot tied up in my Knipex stuff. For a compact tool bag. This would be cool.

I love my knipex version of this minus the removable jaw

I love these plyer wrenches but have serious concerns about that removable jaw

Knipex is the way. I stopped buying Klein when they went Chinese

Okay. So, I don’t have to use my $7 t shirt anymore when I don’t want to damage something? Sweet! This is revolutionary!

For all the "Klein copied".. look up Joseph Eifel's patent history. He was a Chicago based inventor that developed over 100 versions of this tool eventually founding the "American Plierench Corporation" in 1916. After APC dissolved there were many Japanese companies that modified the design in the 80's very similar to the current platform; but they were mostly cash-register, low quality, trivial tools. Knipex pushed the design and quality to the next level making a robust and refined design, but they certainly weren't the inventor's of the platform. With this new Klein design, Klein appears to be pushing this platform to yet another level as Knipex did fifteen years ago; same size, two functions. Forged, machined and assembled in the USA to boot.

When he flipped that, why did my mind go straight to sigorney weaver in Alien 😂

Love these pliers

finally, Klein copy Knipex designs! there is the sample!

I see a lot of one jawed tools kicking around in the future

Nice idea but I’d rather buy 2 fixed version of this rather than the reversible jaw, just seems like it’d be more stable that way

Man they were LATE to this party. Hard to copy a tool and not get sued I guess.

5" version to fit in an edc kit please.

That button is nice

Can't wait for the HF version to drop

Some people will like this new model but real craftsman who appreciate a quality product will always lean toward Knipex.

That’s beautiful!

"Id lose that piece" -my helper

"mooom can we stop and get some knipex" "Son we have knipex at home" ^^^ the knipex at home 😂😂😂

the smallest knipex ,fits the nut of my argon reducer

Klein trying to keep up with knipex, I like it!

Looks like the Diablo logo when it transforms

To me the “multipurpose” tools just seem gimmicky and seems like a weak point in the tool. Buy a pair of separate Knipex Cobras and Knipex plier wrench and you won’t regret it

If Klein has a 22" I'll happily buy THAT one, as Knipex decided they don't want full sets to all match sizes and it bugs me. My drawers need symmetry lol

That’s freakin genius… how much do they cost?

That's Bloody brilliant!

A nice take on the Knipex

Can’t wait to see a pipe ranch 🤔

Dam i want 3

This wrench strike me as a Klein take on the design of the vintage Craftsman Robogrip. Love Klein, love (vintage) Craftsman. Neither one has ever failed me.

Knock off of the Cobra's, with a twist? Jury is still out on durability?

Klein makes some of the finest tools out there, bar none!

That's really cool but reminders me of what Ford is doing with the full-size bronco to the Jeep Wrangler copying but giving it just enough to say it is better. Klein was my first tool love but Knipex is my everyday carry and use.

Same thing basically as a craftsman robo grip. Nothing new but is a great tool to have I use mine all the time

Looks like something a office worker would buy. I love my klein linesmans and somw other stuff but knipex just has them beat with channel locks

The slide groove and the leverage nub are both going to strip.

These would be good for alignments

I need this. 😂

Klein and channel lock are both finally making knipex designs to prove to those krauts that us made is still better. Good on em

I have this tool I will say I wish the top had some teeth. Tightening compression couplings isn’t as easy when the top of the jaw slips out.

father's day coming up, boys !

Captain Kirk just yelled out, "Klein!!!!"

I think Funk would approve

I got these today, and I can put that jaw back on. No, I’m not mentally challenged, and yes, I’ve been in construction for 20 years. Getting knipex cobras 🐍

Brilliant !

great tool just surprisingly heavy

I kinda like it , hope to see a smaller version soon . Of late , Klein has stepped up their fit and finish game !

DAMN! Wheres the mini, EDC size one. Thatll be a game changer. Knipex cobra sized.

Wait till you lose the detachable part.. prob costs more to replace that than buying a whole new one 😂

Now I do like the design, definitely the thumb adjustor compared to the button on knipex, but knipex are way more durable. Put mine through hell as a ture factory machine technician, and they are still in amazing shape

Judging by the design, that tool would be warranty central for me

I have both and I'm pretty sure the Klein's only got to 1 and 3/4 but the adjustment is way quicker in my opinion

I could have used these when I was in the work force. Would have saved some room in the tool pouch.

So do you think it’s better than the Cobras or will you still grab your knipex for damn near everything

Best chinese made plier wrench

First time I’ve ever even seen a plied wrnech. That is so cool

That is so cool.

I use use good quality Rothenburger pliers and i have never once thought i wish these things had a flat face. It would be faster to grab the right tool out of my bag than root around with these things

It's the first time I see hex bolt with pointy screw.

That is slick! 🐺🔧

Great tool of it’s made well could be a great thing I am gonna definitely try it out

I want one.

Knipex knock-off 😂

I have a set of Erwin similar to this, but not where you can turn that part around. I love stuff like this!

Love Klein tools ❤

Inspector Gadget already has one on order.

It's great if you never haul it in a pickup and take it out of your tool box and the jaw is down in the bottom of your tools

Knipex will have a lawsuit shortly. Bet.

pipe will still role on the upperjaw

Anyone else thinks it looks like masterchief in pipe mode?

I’m inkleined to get this tool

Still would buy the Knipex brand.

Klein took two of the best pliers from Knipex and mixed them together😅. I will give it a try

I like the idea I'm just not so sure how long they're going to last

Wow, my mind was just blown!! How much does it cost oh, I'm too lazy to Google it lol

When you flipped it looks like Godzilla
