I ordered the 5”... thinking it would be plenty big for EDC and around the house. I scoffed at it. Thinking I can’t use this tiny thing. I took it to work and 2 coworkers recommended it would be worth keeping. I’m going to order the 7” and the 10” soon. But guess what? Today I couldn’t assemble a bench grinder. My 3/8 ratchet with socket was slightly too large to get over the bolt head in a very narrow spot. I don’t have any quarter inch sockets. This little Knipex 5” worked perfectly. The narrow jaws were perfect for the narrow heads of the bolds. The grip, wow. I can’t believe how much clampage you get with these. No slippage. I love how you can loosen your grip to rotate the wrench without taking it off the nut. I used this to work on my lawn mower this evening ...

This is hands down, MY FAVORITE tool. When in question of bolt size, Grab this. When your have multiple sized bolts and nuts and don't want to walk back and forth to the box, grab this. Need to bend some metal in the middle of a job with out marring the surface, these will do. Don't want to spend money on a 2" socket, No problem. Need to do a press fit of two pieces that JUST BARELY are interference fit, you have these.I received a pair of these when I started A&P school (Aircraft Maintenance), and over my 10 year carrier, at my home, and on my vehicles I grab this most often.

My biggest disappointment about these, is that i didnt either come up with the idea for them myself a long time ago. My next greatest disappointment is that I only discovered these a few months ago. These pliers have changed the way i work. Mated with the straight model, I literally have witnessed my crescent, end, and socket wrenches gather dust. Now i also will be the first to admit that I am not a mechanic, and dont use wrenches every day, but at the same time have a complete set of tools. The other benefit is instead of hauling pounds of wrenches around, i can typically just carry these. Likewise, all but the best crescent wrenches have travel/play in them.

So if crescents are ineffective that forces you to carry metric and English sizes...all of this is inordinately frustrating. The knipex tools adjust and stay where you want them. whats more since they are pliers your grip can close down to make contact if guessed too big. These offset pliers are truly a freak of nature since you can reach nuts/bolts squarely without being in line with them. I have a growing number of knipex tools, and i can safely say that none have disappointed. I wish they were less money, but i have to say buying huge lots of average tools is gets old. I am one of those people who has bought several 200, 300, and even 400 piece tools sets over the last 20 to 30 years. As a result my tool bag would be called a mutt because i have so many breads??. Over that same period i have strategically added more and more high end tools - and i find that i go to them - the tool kits are great for making sure you have all the possible sizes you need, but the great tools are the ones i reach for first.

The knipex pliers wrench is a really useful tool. I'd been eyeing them for years but never bought them due to their exorbitant cost. This year I received them as a birthday gift. The Knipex Pliers Wrench are very much better than a conventional adjustable wrench in that they grip the fastener tighter as more torque is applied to the handle in one direction, exhibit a ratcheting action in the other, have a larger jaw capacity than a conventional adjustable wrench of the same length, and are lighter than similarly sized adjustable wrenches. The Knipex pliers wrench are also a decent pair of pliers. The smooth jaws grip surprisingly well thanks to the 10:1 compound leverage although this does make adjustments a bit fussy. They're also slightly more ergonomic than the ... MoreThe knipex pliers wrench is a really useful tool. I'd been eyeing them for years but never bought them due to their exorbitant cost.

The Knipex pliers wrench are also a decent pair of pliers. The smooth jaws grip surprisingly well thanks to the 10:1 compound leverage although this does make adjustments a bit fussy. They're also slightly more ergonomic than the much cheaper Knipex Cobra pliers I already own. Their only negative is their cost and that was a deal breaker for me. This was made even worse by the availability of the much cheaper and similarly useful Knipex Cobra Pliers. The Cobra pliers are also better than a regular adjustable wrench. They have the same adjustment mechanism, range of adjustment, and also grip tighter with increasing torque one way and ratchet in the other. They WILL engrave aggressive teeth marks in whatever they're used on, although they can be used and adjusted so that this is minimised by making sure the toothed sections of the Cobra plier's jaws are close to parallel and engage opposite flats of a fastener. I still think the use of an adjustable wrench, pliers, or pliers wrench on a fastener is only acceptable due to the necessity of a task combined with the lack of a better option. I see the Knipex Pliers Wrench as a small incremental improvement of the Knipex Cobra Pliers. I would've bought them myself long ago had they only been a small increment more expensive. If you NEED a lightweight adjustable wrench that doesn't slip or mar fasteners then I'd say they're worth it. If not, the Cobra Pliers are less expensive and more versatile.
I have had my Knipex 10-inch (86 03 250) German made wrench pliers for several years. I purchased it at the San Diego County Fair one summer and don't remember how many years ago. I'm a female, and loved the idea that it was smooth on the edges, and small width to fit into small places. And I really liked the push button easy to adjust handle. I use these on most weekends around the house and the yard. They are such a high-use item that I keep them in my kitchen drawer along with my fav combo phillips/flat head screw driver and other coveted high-use things in the kitchen (yes, I do clean it - it's going in the kitchen drawer - and no rust!).This last weekend I needed another pair of them to tighten two irrigation connectors (a mister for my chickens - it is hot ...

Big mistake. So, now I'm on Amazon today to purchase a 7 inch pair. This literally is my top fav tool so much that I'm on here (Amazon) to purchase a 7 inch pair. They are expensive, but well worth it. They last forever, they clean up easily, don't rust and are super easy to use.
Unlike the blue handle pliers, you can't adjust these with one hand. The "Button Push" thing is very sensitive. Push it JUST ENOUGH and you can move the jaws. But push it too far and it's locked. Don't push it enough and it's locked. Very small sweet spot. Also unlike the blue handled pliers, it's essentially impossible to use these "backwards". You must have the handles oriented "That way" to get them to grip the nut flats.You literally can NOT hold the workpiece AND adjust the pliers at the same time.As for the very fine adjustment possible on the jaws, for me it's a hinderance rather than a help. With normal CL style pliers, one adjustment slot is the next couple bolt head sizes. With these Knipex, you have to be exactly on the right adjustment slot or it ...

With these Knipex, you have to be exactly on the right adjustment slot or it simply won't grip the flats.As for the "Exerts 10x the force in the jaws compared to hand pressure". That's probably true but I really don't look toward a pair of pliers to be a substitute for some kind of press or vise. I just don't have a need for the mega pressure.Bottom line, it seems a bit over-enginnered for no good reason. Back to the simpler Water Pumps for me. They're much quicker and more confidence inspiring than these rocket scientist engineered pliers.Thanks - Lumpy
These pliers wrench are excellent at what they do. The smooth jaws go a long way to minimizing damage to the fasteners your working on. The 10:1 mechanical advantage of this design is far superior to the standard adjustable wrench. Because you can rotate them during tightening/loosening, and don't have to keep taking them off the work, things go much faster and damage is further minimized. Good steel, good leverage and good cant of the head all contribute to this tools utility. Their slim profile fits in tighter spots too. The fit and finish of all the parts is excellent. Although the handles are fairly comfortable I still would have liked to see them offered with comfort grips like their smaller sizes have. Thats why I gave it 4 stars for ergonomics.A big plus is ...

These plier/wrenches will last a lifetime and can be passed down to the next generation.
This has become an integral part of my work bag in a short time. The adjustability of the jaws is huge for a tool of this size and can replace several adjustable wrenches. The open and close action of the handle makes a quick release and bites down on the nut like a pipe wrench when torqueing. The pliers are thin to access tighter areas. It just feels good when using and doesn't fight. I might have to splurge and get the 10" as well. This is a great tool from Knipex. Knipex is a little expensive but worth every penny. Tool for life.
I've been slowly building a collection of Knipex pliers, starting with the 6" cobras, then long-nose, etc. These pliers-wrenches seem to be the most expensive that they make, so it took me a while to decide on ponying up the dough . . . and then I got them. These things are absolutely perfect; I was mesmerized fiddling around with them, seeing how all the parts move together in perfect harmony like a steel ballet. Then I remembered that it is a tool, so went on a mad rampage tightening random bolts and garden hoses. They put an 8" adjustable wrench to shame: faster, more accurate, fitting every fastener like a glove. Oh, and they have the same jaw capacity as said wrench (about 1 1/8"). Together with 6" cobras and long-nose, the 6" pliers-wrench makes an unbeatable ...

i find myself going for these whenever an adjustable wrench or channel lock would normally have been the correct tool for the job. channel locks and the adjustable crescent, for me, were always somewhat ehhhh, inconvenient, or unpleasant to set to the accurate size for the work, slower to complete work, and potentially marring or otherwise damaging to the work, leaving unprofessional looking hardware in its wake.whats great about these is, theyre operable within a general range instead of having to thumb in the exact size or open, and hunt for the proper slot, and check fit, inevitably having to open and move up or down another slot, or having to re-slot the channel lock after it somehow slips full open or full closed or some other annoyance. with other tools, the ...
