Osborne, Channel Locks, Illinois Industrial Tool, Kobalt, Doyle, Southwire. Diagonal cutting pliers used for cutting through nails, screws, a drill bit and even a socket adapter.

Awesome non-biased comparison and testing as usual! Love this stuff!

[CristianoRonaldo-wtoj]

I never tought I'd watch a 15 minute video on pliers..but I got hooked

[spectrerr]

Once again a test on something I use nearly every day, that I didn't know I needed to be tested. Time for my almost weekly shopping trip.

[buzzfightbeer]

I will literally never buy a single, solitary tool again without checking Project Farm's reviews.

This dude is a national treasure. Is anyone watching him, protecting him, and making sure he breeds?

I love how you read the ad copy saying "no wobble" immediately followed by "unfortunately there was quite a bit of wobble"

I've had my 9" knipex for over 15 years and put them through hell cutting screws, stainless steel, springs of all sizes and they still are sharp. Definitely worth the money

[RoelNicky]

I have my first Knipex from 25 years ago, daily use as electrician, still my go to and still works as new

[lenya]

Knipex has a very long tradition of toolmaking. Fun fact: steel blades and tools from our region are very famous since the early middle-ages. You probably heard about Solingen. The hills and huge amount of rain caused many small streams all over the region. They allowed many smithys to have water-powered hammers.

And not a minute wasted. Top notch quality review and comparison!

Being an electrician I use Klein and channel locks for years. Still have some that are over 10 years old still work like a charm. Use it for what it's capable of and it will last for years.

I live like a mile from the Knipex factory in Wuppertal-Cronenberg. from what I’ve heard, it’s an excellent employer with social responsibility, lifetime employment, pro-Union and extensive social security.

[pthrelkeld]

It legitimately warms my heart to see Snap-on's reputation take yet another hit. 🥰
The only channel I go to for product performance comparison.

[whytube]

working as a welder and ive had my knipex since 2008, use it everyday and it's still as good as new. pretty much indestructible.

[robertobott]

You know you’re a complete tool junkie when you’re riveted to every second of this test. This was great, fast moving, lot’s of data, love to see more!

[JacTheRipper]

As a utility lineman Knipex, Channellock & Klein are my go to for hand tools. Although I only have the Klein side cutters, my Knipex side cutters and lineman’s Pliers are the 9.5” version. I liked seeing the Wiha do so well but wasn’t surprised. I would like to see a lineman’s Pliers test in the future if it hasn’t already been done. Thanks for the great content!

[timmayer]

The drill bit test is a perfect example of why I watch this chanel and have faith in your content. The fact that the Doyle survived, when the Snap-on, Chanellock, Dewalt & Craftsman failed. And out performed the Milwaukee & Knipex, is not something I would believe if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, keep up the good work.

[SimmanGodz]

I love how rapid fire all the info is. No wasted time. Just methodology and testing along with some very insightful commentary.
And still you manage a 15 minute video. Just goes to show how much useless crap people tend to put in thieir videos.
Thanks man!

[johndoesen]

I've been using Knipex tools for ages, and they have never let me down. Yes they're expensive, but the Germans know what they're doing. Great video. 👍

[lurkerrekrul]

I like that you don't waste a lot of time talking about where you bought each one, your personal history with them, etc. Just straight to the tests and no-nonsense results. :)

I've had a pair of 9" klein cutters in my tool bag for over 10 years and they still work like the day i bought them. Its amazing how the extra 1" makes a huge difference. I knew the Kleins would perform well.
