The Raptors were initially designed for nuts on tie rod ends and brake lines. For allignment jobs it is indeed a life saver sometimes since due to its self locking feature for bolts from 17mm. But for the latter application there is generally not enough room for the parrot head

I didn’t realize the Raptors were smooth. Interesting!

Whenever I have a tough bolts to get to whether it be in home plumbing or on a vehicle I always turn to my Raptors. They make jobs at were near impossible for other tools very easy. It most of the time I use them just to break the bolts are nuts loose. And then I take them by off by hand.

Knipex has though of everything including the off-set pliers wrench Knipex 86-43-250. So u can tighten a fitting while holding 2 of them side by side or a bolt thats surface mounted like at 5:50.

I need a raptor mini either 125mm or 100mm would be great.

Interesting tool. I still prefer to use a ratchet wrench in most applications. I can see where raptors would come in handy for stripped bolts in a tight spot.

A modern redesign of the Channellock 410 pliers patented in the 1930s.

Hgv exhaust manifold nuts come to mind

[ypeveldhuis]

Funny on this demo, the gent holding the board obviously cannot hold the pliers. On machinery, you grab the top jaw to hold it in place. With the other hand you work the levers. It is then that things just come to life. Brilliant! Thanks for this positive demo.

After watching this video I ordered the Raptor wrench today 👍

[annquach]

The handles close closer together on the Raptors, that's why it seemed more torquey

[jeffreywolf]

I have both pairs and I pull out the Raptors for more difficult jobs with bad fastening nuts and bolts

[adamperry]

I find the biggest negative of the raptors is the fact they can only fit on a hex at 90 degrees if you have to be 89 degrees to grab the hex it doesn’t really work

[luckybiby]

I prefer torque wrench in your user case, I couldn't figure out a good reason to use this tool over the tools I own.

[DanielGarcia-fgvk]

Can you turn a 3/4 or 1/2” ball valve?

[krismont]

who told U that pliers wrench are for bolts and nuts? they are for all sorts of plumbing fittings...

[chrisfyfe]

How about damage/ marking of things like plated or Brass nuts and bolts ? BTW, you got my ass of the fence, I’m going to order a pair !

[chrisfyfe]

I keep meaning to pick up a pair of Raptors !

Access is awful if you have to turn against the button. Slip joint design would have been better.
