which is better?! knipex 5' cobras vs knipex 5' pliers wrench

[willfitzsimmons]

I just got the 25 01 140s

They are small long nose pliers with cutters. I pair them with my 125mm pliers wrench. Perfect combo

I also carry the 87 01 180s on my belt

Great video!

Awesome video man! Now I need a pair of pliers wrench! I have the cobras in multiple sizes! Thanks for this video! 🤘🏽💀

[ozyrob]

Both excellent. For me these are the smallest practical size. The 4" versions are just too small for most tasks (at least the things I do).

[MrDkgio]

The question is flawed they are both excellent, each is better at its own job, if I could only have one it would be the cobra, it can get more done overall.

Great video, you may already know this but Knipex does make the straight on pliers, called the twin grip pliers. They seem to be awesome, I don't own them yet but I will. The smallest size is 6 inch though.

Different tools for different jobs, so neither is better or worse.

Looks like a good design. I have a big assortment of vintage pliers & those are similar to antique 'PlieRench' pliers

I love my plier wrench, use them every day. But id have to disagree with you, the cobra can also grip round objects well. The teeth grip very well. I prefer to use plyers wrench on nuts and bolts so that they dont get marred up. But on rust bolts (or even really tight ones) the cobras win hands down.. even tho the plyer wrench had a stronger gripping strenth, as you put lots of pressure to loosen the nut or bolt, by design it starts to force the jaws open requiring you to use a lot more hand strenth to grip the object, this doesnt happen with the cobras, you only need your hand strength to bite into the metal, not to counter act the jaws being force open. Twice today i had to switch away from the pliers wrench on the fitting of a tight pipe to using the cobras rifht on the pipe.

Lmao I was looking for the black grip until I heard you say heat shrink.

[nitrorclife]

@8:20 A pair of 6” or 5” twin grip would be perfect for me

[eduardosandoval]

I use the pump pilers for 1/2 inch rigid and 3/4 emt ans the plies wrench insted of a crecent for nuts i dont have to torque down too crazy

[Sola_Scriptura_.]

Why choose one when you can have both?

[thelred-phlq]

Sir, if you don't mind them having yellow handles, Tsunoda offers 125mm Diagonal Cutters, Linesman/side cutting pliers, and long nose/needle nose pliers. They are good quality japanese tools.

[ethanwasme]

both serve different purposes though? i'll continue watching

[normanedwards]

It is a " horses for courses " thing, ....racehorse, or carthorse,

[Wodney]

I agree with you😮!! Like you said, you rambled and bounced all over the place😮!!
AND you came to the wrong conclusion😮!!!
The red handled cobra can do EVERYTHING that the black handled wrench can do, and a hell of a lot more!
The only down side of the cobra, is that it can leave indentation marks on the nut or pipe, that you're turning😮!!

Wrong pernounciation as heard phonetically and with a quick google.
As is often the case when a word is brought into another language the pronounciation is changed if the spelling is not changed to reflect the different linguistic rules. Drop the K and you are pronouncing it correctly in English.
