Wera Joker 6004 vs Knipex Pliers Wrench

Considering thw Knipex pular wrench versus the Were Joker 6004

You do not need to squeeze on the knipex my friend, you can just pull without squeezing, just like the cobra pliers. It just grips if you use it the right way.
I got all my tools from Wera, Wiha and Gedore. My cordless tools are Milwaukee because I like quality also. Do have bosch and Metabo also for powertools and some other quality brands. Have fun using your Wera joker

You don't have to grip with the plier wrench...

I have the knipex pliers wrench and gm power torque open end ratcheting wrenches which work almost identical to the joker wrench you have. The knipex jaw capacity alone makes it a more superior tool over having to carry 4 different size wrenches. Not gonna lie tho, I almost 80% of the time always reach for the open end ratcheting wrenches. Idk why lol but I do.

Have them both... I do not carry the joker at all times considering the adjustability doesn’t even compare to the knipex. That being said the joker has come in handy while servicing analyzers with small tubing compression fittings in tight quarters because the only alternative is basically an open ended wrench which is fine but the joker has the ratcheting function.

Knipex is much better! It works from small to huge sizes.
It has also self clamping mechanism. So you can apply a lot of torque.

[corygriffiths]

As much as I like adjustable wrenches and regular wrenches the Knipex pliers wrench has them all beat now there are certain situations that you have to use a regular wrench particularly in tight spaces but for the most part the Knipex pliers wrench is the go to at least for me.

The Knipex is not going to apply less leverage... look at the tool length. More length = more leverage.

[Dycdom]

i think you are using knipex wrongly man .there is no need of squeezing them .and you have longer handle in them to so bigger leverage = more torque ...thats just physics . try to grab fastener one or two clicks less with knipex .

[jankington]

What do you think they meant when they called it the joker? The knipex xs is better than that thing

Always stuck between simplify and diversify.

That's exactly why I got the pliers wrench, I thought "How can I get the most out of the least amount of tools"

Since you think like that, I have one you'll like bro...

Check out the Felo 07157 32348

It's a bit drover handle so you'd really only have to carry one screwdriver that can be used with all your impact bits.

It's high quality, good strong magnet and accepts the common smaller impact bits.

The handle shape also let's you give it tons of torque and you you wouldn't believe how many times it comes in handy.

Throw on an adapter and attach any socket to reach under a sink or scenarios like that.

Throw on a nut driver and get into tight spaces.

Philips, Hex, Allen etc all from one handle and you know you've seen dudes who carry bags that are half loaded with just screwdrivers.
