Little Knipex Cobra 125 Pliers Pushed to the Limit

How far can you push these little Knipex Cobra 125 pliers? I do multiple torque tests to find out how tight of a nut they can break loose. I wasn't expecting the results.

Take a look at my other Knipex Videos:

Gets the award of "least clickbait-y thumbnail and of understatement"... Great tool too !!!

Knipex simply makes some of the best pliers in the world.

I still want to buy that cheater bar. :)

Great video
Those little pliers are very tough. I never imagined they could go thru all that. Awesome tool

I'm so glad to see you applying counter torque to the torque wrench head. That's the way I was taught to use a torque wrench in the Navy. It drives my OCD crazy to see YouTubers using torque wrenches without holding the head of the wrench!

[Hazanfan]

Would love to see this test with the Knipex pliers wrench

[Darkcruzer]

I'm glad you didnt break them while proving how amazing they are

[LilasTools]

Excellent video and testing, love the knipex Cobras!

[MacXcode]

Amazing! Thank You for this video! I just went and bought one on Amazon now.

Just added the XL 400mm cobra to my knipex drawer. Now to save up for the 560mm XXL. Great test

[karlmadsen]

Hmmmm. Excellent. Pliers wrench test?

You could try as a torque test a bottle of old cough medicine where the syrup has crystalized in the cap thread and it has a child-proof cap. Whilst coughing, I used multigrips to unscrew the cap and it was still useable later.

Damn! Thanks for tearin' up nuts!!

[johnnewell]

The inconsistent force you're applying when you loosen the nuts at the higher torque values results in peak torque amounts that are far higher than the torque value you set with the torque wrench. You'd never use a torque wrench by shoving it. You do what you did: you pull slowly and consistently. What you're doing is like trying to measure your weight on a scale while jumping up and down on it.

Dang that small pliers is as hard as thors hammer 😅

I carry the 10" alligator pliers every day as a plumber

Just bought the 150 Cobra for my small off-road motorcycle roll. They fit my hand better, are that nth degree longer, and seem a little bit beefier than the 125. Sometimes you need a skinny plier with some grip to get in there, something I have always compromised and contorted to work, mostly. All multi-tool pliers are evil in my world
