If you're only going to carry one I'd go with the regular Cobra because the toothed plier head will grip things that the smooth pliers-wrench jaws will not, but the pliers-wrench will be much gentler on nuts and such if that's something you encounter. The Cobras will also turn bolts but will also likely chew it up in the process. The big advantage that the pliers-wrench has is an enormous amount of clamping force because of the lever design of the pliers. I really wish they'd make a pliers-wrench/Cobra hybrid.

So the 62hrc is going to cut harder stuff?

I just bought the xs haven't received it yet but I was actually thinking this before I ordered it, hopefully it's not a total disappointment

Disengaged: chokes up to get the shittiest grip with terrible leverage. Engaged: pushes the nail as far into the jaws as they'll go and grabs the very bottom of the handles for maximum leverage. I get what they do but you sure gave a shitty demo.

Why not cut the dowels at angles ahead of time before installation them in the holes? .

I can use it to cut through 4mm steel strips in which I always cut with the side only 1-2 mm of material at a time. I can eat through an abus granite plus folding lock.

~ I just ordered one off Amazon .... for Sockets & Allens ... If I wanted to drive a Screw.. id use one of my 20 Drills instead ...

I use the 61 01 200 high leverage end cutters for rural fencing - as this one tool easily cuts 2.5 mm high tensile fence wire and then will twist and cut 2.5 mm tie wire. Best tool I have had for cutting and twisting in 60 years of farming. Handle opening I hadn’t noticed - and I do use them one handed. I own three different small bolt cutters from Knipex and both end pinches you demonstrated but the high leverage 61 01 200 cutters are my choice for rural fencing.

Premium Price, potato parts.

I use it ALL THE TIME, seriously

Thank you for this great presentation. I am trying to assemble a first aid kit for a fishing boat. The intent is to have a cutting tool to snip either side of a 7/0 hook when they embed in the hands of inexperienced fishermen. Some of the upper end hooks are made of tuff steel. Thank you.

Hola..los mangos de los alicates que sean de aislante grueso si se corta un cable con tensión te pueden salvar la vida,,

I just bought those Wihas because they were on sale for $23. I will see if they can hold up to my work. I’m a Traffic Signal Installer.

Nice review

The R variant says 48 HRC on the handle, is that just for the handle?

Great for my job but I guess when all you do is put screws in blocks of wood with tik tok girl lighting for KZfaq it might be a worthless feature

I have the 180 Cobra and a 180 Pliers wrench. Outstanding tools. So much better than channel locks.

The first American I've heard pronounce "Vera" properly. Usually its like "Hey boi, we got sum of dem weeera keys to test!"

Dude chill... this bag is getting heavy😢

Check 00:48 he nearly finished it and he switched to one hand? See the handle is half way closed.

That's pimp as fuck

Why didn’t they add a little grips

Crescent wrench every time, to break free tight stuff.

Cobra.

I was just listening to this from the other room, and was wondering when Nate Bargatzey started doing tool videos.

Una pregunta el domo de la roca se destruye antes o después de la llegada del Mesías?

Light turn off about 20 min Later

But it actually isn’t useless I can’t tell you how many time I’ve hit the trigger on my Makita just to get the couple seconds of light

Small skill issue with the pliers wrench. Once you get good at both of them the pliers wrench will always be much faster. But if you fumble it around then yeah it’ll be about the same speed.

He stopped uploading after this video 😰

Just picked up the 6" pliers and they are ideal for keeping in my pocket on the job

You can disable the light....

Idk how many times i haven't wanted to stand up and get another light and have tried using the impacts

My first Knipex tool I ordered the other day, pliers wrench, I can't wait for them to arrive. (Apprentice fitter) so they will cop a lot of use

My heart stopped 😂

The best small size in both starts at 125. Better handle and a little more leverage

I agree, the 100s are a bit of a gimmick. I bought the 100 cobra but common sense stopped me buying the 100 pliars wrench. I've never used the tiny cobras for anything. The size I use the most is the 180 in both. I have all sizes in the cobras up to 400 and the pliars wrench up to 300. The 180s in both see 90% of the work.

I think that plastic is high durometer polyurethane

Unfortunately I bought this after realizing they’re phasing the Connect system out for the Build out system. I can’t find the large rolling case anywhere.

Why does everyone pronounce it as ka-nipex? The k is silent 🤦‍♂️

On a serious note, the pliers wrench takes slightly longer to adjust but if you have to do more than 2-3 turns in a cramped space it is night and day better

The knipex are perfect for brass as they dont damage it.

Don't think knipex will be sending u anything... Cresent on the other hand, maybe

If you didn't know in advance the measurements of those blocks, the vinca was much more accurate.

Of course you don't use your Knipex as a hammer - that's what your drill is for 😆

This is absolutely not a useless feature.

Lol he's just upset that his battery died when he needed it.😂

Both handy tools but one size up is the smallest I like to go. These are just too small for many tasks and I prefer the dipped handles over bare.

All hand tools are hammers lol

I like it, but I have no issues using a high CFM Shopvac with mine, except of course how fast you fill it. I often just point it into my garden beds then spread the chips lol.
