NEW Knipex Tools: The Best Pliers Ever? (4k)

Here are some amazing new Knipex tools. My favorite new set of pliers are the Knipex StepCut XL Cable Shears. They are the perfect electricians tool for cutting cables. We also cover some tools that were suggested by YOU, Including; the Knipex Cutix, the Knipex PerciStrip 16, isulated Knipex screwdrivers, and the Knipex Cobra XS. Knipex makes some of the highest quality tools out there, and these are no exception!

I work in construction, I decided to buy my own tools instead of using the ones we have at the workshop. I use the cutix daily, same as the twin grips, I also use the pliers wrench from time to time. Amazing tools 💪

@americanelectrician you know that you can add some critical thinking and have a genuine opinion. Knipex screwdrivers are the most generic puece of kit in their portfolio. There is not a single design upgrade.

Just recently picked up the stepcut xl cutters after seeing some vids about knipex and the hardness spec of their tools being higher than the competition.

I work daily with 2 awg thwn, and would always have to 2 hand the klein shears at work to get through it.

I can easily get through it, halfway down the handle, with one hand when using the stepcut Xl's

Its insane

I use wire strippers every day and used a lot of types, I like the weidmuller strippers the most the strip the cleanest

[fuloplehel]

Great tools from knipex, I use them all, the screwdrivers are not made by knipex just rebranded, and if I'm right even the precistrip 16 is made by rennsteig, membre of the knipex group. The cutix utility knife is made in Spain. But after all the quality is very good. I recently bought the stepcut xl and the foldable cable knife with ratcheting action for big cables.

Can you try the new CK VDE Cable cutters. Its like the CK snips but VDE

[chrisfyfe]

I use the Strippers, they are reliable !

[davide]

Wera ball grip screwdrivers from KC tools

[issahypebeast]

What about greenlee i heard their tools are pretty good

[jeffreykropp]

I just received the 12 52 195 stripper. Mainly for use stripping #8 wire for solar panel wiring. Initial trials failed miserably, and was ready to complain. Then I tried adjusting by the screwdriver slot and next stripping attempts were successful!!!

[shifter]

Are the knipex screwdrivers better than wera or similar ?

[mikenormandy]

Love the Cutix. Nothing on the market like it. Just wish it had a pocket clip LOL. I ended up putting my own LOL

Lets say I go the Trade School route for electrician, what would be my next steps afterwards?

[LuminairPrime]

As an amateur, I wish I had the knipex snap blade knife when I was cutting foam insulation. The spine on the blade would have kept it straight for straighter cuts, which means faster cuts, because with foam you need to go over the same spot over and over, and when you wobble off course, you waste that cut. The blade spine would have also prevented me from accidentally snapping a lot of blades in half while cutting foam.

[Janipizzoni]

I yust dont know about the metal serations dont they damage the insolation

[TreyMire]

Wiha Insulated t handle set. Love them

[bryanodonoghue]

Cooper only? Can you cut MC with them?

[irvingvillanueva]

If you liked the precistrip 16 I highly recommend the nextstrip multi stripper 12 72 190. The have the same functionality but includes a ferrule crimper. If you you a lot of control panel work, it’s a must.

[leonpowers]

I like the Cut X Knife you can not go wrong with them. I also have the Knipex screw drivers and I think that they fit my hand really well. I think I like them better than Wera screwdrivers

I cant understand why people dont use klien more. As someone from Ireland I 100% stand behind klien tools as the best tool company on the market, far superior to knipex or wera or any other brand. Just my opinion but I think its a valid one considering how much money I have spent on tools as an electrician
