Link To The Awesome Knipex - amzn.to/2O1Fm3g Link To Amazon Basics Tool Set - amzn.to/32KN71A

Electrician for decades here. I test pliers with string. If it cuts string first time cleanly it'll cut copper like a charm.

Had to rewind to make sure he really called the germans the master race lol

This is real danger let me put my coat on and hide behind foam

“Made in Germany by the master race” -wranglerstar

But the question that remains is. Can the Knipex cut the Chinesium?

I cut a section of railroad track out for scrap metal with my grandma's scissors. I'm from the east coast

"You know, you just can't get content like this on television" -Wranglestar

2:32 "Made in Germany by the master race." Lol wtf

“I’m not going to count, that math is too complicated for me” Sounds like a west coast problem to me

I'd like to see if the Knipex can still cut through that shop glove after cutting the alan key.

In all seriousness, the amazon basics side cutters did actually do a really good job. We have to understand that these tools are not made for cutting things like bolts and Allen wrenches etc.Overall great video, excited to see more.

Everyone worried about the master race comment and I’m here trying to find the third camera until I finally realized it was the one I was looking through haha.

I laughed until I had tears in my eyes when you listed the price of the camera equipment and then put much-needed hand. That's quality entertainment right there keep up the good work.

You got me with the $24 Loctite bit. Keep up the great work!

Is it triggering anyone else the way he says knipex 🤣🤣

As an electrician. I have been switching to Knipex. Amazing tools! I use the 8" high leverage diagonal cutters. Making the switch as a tool gets old.

On the next episode... Wranglerstar uses a screwdriver to lift a house off its foundation.

Will you cut the glove again with the Knipex and see if they still have that fine cutting ability?

Jorge Sprave understands sarcasm. And he's iconically laughing

this man said " with the power of the master race" lmao

I dont care what anyone says this should be an add for Amazon.. that tool was amazing for $3.5

Finally a tool i can cut my allen wrenches with!

I bought lots of Knipex tools. I don’t really use them much because it’s just for household repairs, but watching them inside my tool bag is beautiful and mostly satisfying.

My great uncle was an electrician, i inherited most of his tools (my brother got some too) , his Knipex, which he bought in the 50s as a young man, are still sharp and cut like the first day, quality stuff

Flush cuts for zip ties folks separate yourself from amateurs!

Loved this video. So interesting. Love when you do this stuff. The testing. The suspense was better than watching a movie. Great video.

The question isn’t what they can or cannot do, it’s how much of it they can do.

I cut my vegetables with a kuh-nife

Cody, this was a great video and I was truly impressed with the Knipex cutters. You have to admit, if you can't cut it with hand pressure, you aren't going to be using side cutters anyway. I was actually more impressed with the Amazon Basics cutter. A cheap tool that can fare that well has my vote!

I am from germany and it's nice to hear, that "made in germany" is still a thing. I'm actually studying mechanical engineering to learn building things like this. I think the way how made in germany works is, that we always go for the best materials out there and we always use exact tolerances for things like the knipex cutter. Hell yeah.. This is expensive but atleast it holds

The man's rocking a Rolex Explorer in the shop, damn. That's another thing that could've taken some damage while using the vice haha.

I get on youtube... "Let's de-stress." Cody - "Queue stress."

Knipex mini-bolt cutters are my favourite cutting tools. Will cut paper, string, rope, single copper strands, screws, nails, straining wire (HT & normal). And yes, if you push them they'll chomp through a 1/4 mild steel bar using hand-force alone. They're just all-round brilliant.

I like this series . So many folks were never taught how to do simple things with basic tools. Wranglerstar is helping man kind be self sufficient

The result makes me very happy as a German. :D I use a lot of Knipex tools myself and am convinced of the quality.

Feels bad correcting Mr Wranglerstar. Those "Flat nose pliers" are actually called lineman's pliers. They are used primarily by electricians for splicing and cutting wires.

"it cut it!" I think this is the most excited ive seen you on camera😅👍

"Much needed hand" Love it. Also loved busting out the mosko jacket out of fear. Superfabric to the rescue!

One of the best vs. videos yet. You really went all out on this one Cody. Tons of fun.

At least us east coast guys know how to say "knipex" 😂

"I'm not gonna count, that math is too complicated for me." hahaha

Hahahaha I had to rewind and listen to make sure I heard what I heard when he said "The Master Race" comment hahaha

Klein’s are the best side cutters I’ve ever use they cut through 16 penny nails with ease

"East coast guys are sissys" *hides behind a foam mat*

Add some American made Channellock cutters to the challenge.

I cannot belive I spent 18 minutes watching somebody testing a pair of cutters.

5:15 “my Jeff” 🤣

You should have tested cutting some of the toupee fibers😂

Typical west coast guy, “not enough hand strength.” To busy making gourmet coffees. Awesome video as always Cody.

I am a rental equipment technician, carry side cuts in my pocket daily. Had a pair of knipex side cuts and wore them out to the point that I felt the need to replace them, similar to the snap on ones that you mentioned. Got a pair of Klein side cuts and never looked back, abused them just as much if not more for a longer period of time. I had the knipex for about a year or so and have been running the same pair of Klein side cuts for 3-4 years and they still work great. They could be replaced for excellent performance but they perform well as is.

"The power of the master race behind us"

“Those east coast guys do this stuff all the time”. I about fell over.

"guys on the east coast do this all the time" 😂😂 infact that's an average day for us pennsyl-tukies

@Wranglerstar You know... if you buy a piece of 3/8" plexiglass from the glass store and make a wooden frame for it you would be protected AND be able to see what your doing. Same for your cameras. If you put a thin 1/16 - 1/8" sheet in front of the camera it's well protected.

Your enthusiasm during the test absolutely made this!!

I'm in germany for work right now... I love when the techs here lens me their Knipex by the way, it's pronounced K-nee-Pex. the k isn't silent and the i is a ee

2:35. Master Race! 😂 the internet troll are going to go crazy.

What a demonstration. You are a kid at heart just like the rest of us haha great video

These videos are amazing. Honest reviews.

I wish you had tried to cut a zip tie and the glove after putting the side cutter to the test.

how about a test between the cheapest night vision on amazon and a generic gen3 pvs-14?

Omfg best video on YT. Your honest reactions to the hex key was frickin priceless!!! Im a hard working American like many YT'bers and I enjoy tool reviews but this sir... THIS is gold! I love the setup, the price tags etc. You nailed it. I already forgot the end results becauae your reactions to the cutting was too good.

Great test. Thank you.

I was impressed and still buy the cheap Amazon tools. They will hold up well for what I do.

Down south we yell "Hey ya'll, watch this" before doing something like this!!!!

As somebody who lives in a suburb in the midwest and wants nothing more than to escape the hell of everyday corporate work, I wish I knew how to go from here to living in a beautiful remote place like you are and doing the things you are.

Hey Cody! Cool video, the results are about what I expected. I actually bought a cheap set similar to the amazon ones (probably made in the same factory) just for jobs that might damage my nicer side cutters. It is sometimes handy to have those super cheap tools that maybe arent as good, but at least you aren't concerned about losing them down the back paddock or damaging them on something that you didn't expect to be high tensile.

you won't let anyone borrow your log splitter but you loan out the electron microscope? :)

Doug Marcaida would be impressed. Also, math must be more difficult on the west coast.

lmfao the big bolt. I was like wtf ive never even considered using side cutters on that.............

Dude's really positioning his head point blank to potential steel shrapnel and shielding it with a thin foam sheet. I was half expecting him to say "Welcome to my laboratory where safety is our number one priority!"

I wouldn't feel so safe hiding behind a foam board 😂😂😂

Those look like some crazy good cutters, I don’t mind paying a higher price for something I only have to buy one time!

Gerber VS Leatherman multi-tool! I was issued a Gerber (MP600) and swore by them. Then got a Leatherman (Wave) as a gift and like it much more. Made the Gerber feel almost like pot metal.

About two years ago, I wanted to see (and prove) to my co-workers (I am an electrician) that Knipex had the best Hand Tools! - We LIVE by our Side cutting pliers (Dikes or Diagonal pliers) and our Linesman Pliers (Some call them 'Kleins", Side cutters, Linesman, etc) - I used my regualr red-dipped handle Linesman by Knipex and was about to cut a piece of 1/4" threaded rod, with a massive dual hand grip, with NO MARKS DENTS OR CURVES made to my pliers. I still use them to this day (Although they became my back up pair bc I cut a live wire my buddy told me was 'not on", when he just switched the wrong breaker in his home electrical panel, off) - But, I could EASILY do this same thing with my 10" side cutting knipex pliers (8" pair seen in this video) - They really are the best in so many ways...Just the weight alone compared to Klein or Greenlee, southwire, Ideal, etc is half!

This was a my favorite video so far. Love the banter with the east coast! I’m from wa so it’s fun

Cause nothing says body armor like a piece of foam!

knipex pliers are amazing, im a mechanic for ford use them every day no problems for the past years

I'm glad you did this comparison, Cody. I am a beginner and want to have a decent tool kit for DIY project. I am now confident to buy the Amazon basics set, based on it's performance in your demonstration. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up from me! 👍

Great bit of torture video Cody!!!😊.

I love how he calls Germans the master race

Chalk lines would be a great thing to test. I have been looking for a good one for years and haven't found one that works for more than 20 minutes on a job site.

I’m so glad it didn’t destroy your Loctite bottle! 😂 I really enjoy your tool torture test videos.

On the East Coast we don’t bother kidding behind the foam board. YOLO

"Made in Germany by the master race" next episode we find out wranglerstar might be a neonazi

I was waiting for the half inch rebar.We out in California need to reinforce all our building for the BIG ONE ,OR maybe use a set of cutters to get from under an overpass. thanks for the videos as always great stuff.

Entertaining and informative. We gather as a family and watch Wranglerstar videos!

Insert 7,845th joke about master race. Insert comment to make me look like I have original viewpoint.

Wow! Built by the master race? Interesting choice of words sir.

I’ve been using Knipex hand tools as an electrician for more than a decade. The difference in quality is apparent even when compared to good tools like Klein, the Knipex is noticeably better. When other guys balk at the price I tell them “think about how much you spend on beer or going out to lunch, these tools will last many years and make your job more efficient and enjoyable while putting money in your pocket.”

I have a pair of the knipex but the vde version, used them to cut a false ceiling grid frame, didn’t even leave a mark

As an IBEW wireman all I use anymore is Knipex. They are lighter sharper and almost as tough as Klein

12:10 and this is why we watch KZfaq

My dad and i have a knipex for over 10 years(montly use), and it still works like a charm!

My brother works on wind turbines. The nacelle is 300' high, where he accomplishes his tasks. He accidentally dropped his 6" Knipex "Cobra" pliers from said height down to the concrete pad below. They were fine. He still uses them to this day.

i would rather the alan key go through my arm than break my camera

Testing side wire cutters. Doesn't cut any wires. 🤯

I must say, I stopped watching your content for a while, but this video not only made me laugh numerous times, it also impressed me with your editing of the video. Very well put together

The Amazon basic line performed outstanding on the cheap. I am going to buy 10 of them for tool kits for every piece of equipment and vehicle that I have. Great job on the review. This was highly entertaining and the scary music was great.
