EDC pliers? Really? Hell yes! In this video we’ll take a look at the 5” Knipex Cobra Pliers & the 5” Knipex Pliers Wrench. Two excellent tools of the highest quality that I think make excellent additions to an EDC rotation.

The “knip slip.” Love it! 😂 I was already familiar with the brand and that they’re good to go, but I didn’t realize exactly how the mechanism worked. That’s brilliant! I’ll definitely be grabbing some of their pliers pretty soon.

The Cobra pliers are actually available up to 22" with a jaw capacity of I believe 4.5". The pliers wrench I believe goes up to 12" or 16". I've got the 5" of both types plus 10" of both types but opted for comfort grip on the 10" pliers wrench. I fully agree, they're incredible tools. I use mine more than I ever thought I would. Sometimes when I use them I can't help thinking it would've taken a LOT longer and would've taken more MacGyvering to make it work without them. They aren't cheap, but like anything worthwhile, that's to be expected.

I love Knipex tools. I have 3 of their adjustable pliers and 2 of the adjustable wrenches. The mini cobra lives in my electrical tool pouch along with Knipex needle nose, compound cutter and a journeyman plier. I know these will last a lifetime for sure. Would be something if they got into knives :-)

Knipex gave me the EDC bug! I love the XS Cobra and Wrench. Dying to use them!

[CoalMiner]

I bought my knipex 5inch cobras from kc tool and they have a huge sale going on them and free shipping and got them in 2 days. I honestly have never found a more useful pair of pliers for edc in the pocket, I have used these literally everyday in one way or another, if your having doubts about buying them DONT!!! They are worth every single penny.

I use the larger knipex cobra on a daily basis I love the way they grip on bolts and not slip. I think they are the best slip joint pliers on the market.

Great choice. I own many, many Knipex pliers in my line of work and they are second to none.

Knipex tools are awesome!!!
I have several different tools from them. My favorite and most used is their mini bolt cutters.
Thanks for sharing!!
Gonna have to get the pliers wrench!!!

[jeremyspaulding]

I carry the pliers in my edc bag in a small tool kit I built definitely amazing quality and very handy to have around well worth the money. I think I maybe checking out one of the slips as well very cool

[rodneypearson]

I've gotta add a set of these pliers there so well made !!! Glad the kydex sheath is working well for you we enjoyed the challenge ✌🏼

[johnossendorf]

I always carry both at work and most of the rest of the time too.

[mickkeim]

Thanks for turning us on to these unique tools.

[clemansky]

They are amazing, I always have a small pair in my EDC work tool bag and they are incredibly useful.

[wigglewiggle]

I have a larger set of these and they are just amazing. Finally a video of yours where I haven't ended up with tool or knife envy, lol. Awesome vid as always Sean. Take care brother.

After watching many reviews I appreciate you pronouncing Knipex right.

[nitrorclife]

My buddy is a mechanic, he swears by them, I was skeptical of his over the top, praise for them... well after years of seeing him use them in situations I thought they would fail. I was so wrong. I grew up in a farm (mom was a farm girl) dad was a A&P mechanic, so grew up using TOP quality tools, and you use the correct tool for the job.THIS too, l knipex. Is one of the few exceptions, if the jaws can grab it, it will turn it as long as YOU have the strength and grip yourself., they will not slip! They are amazing, he keeps the 5" in his pocket ALL the time, I'll be picking sine up myself.

Thanks for the review, just got a pair of the Knipex Cobra 125 (couple of months back) for my EDC pouch to accompany my Pioneer X, love them.

This brand is cursed. Once you buy, you can't stop buying more and more. No body only have one Knipex.

[agentp]

Please forgive my ignorance. Would the Knipex pliers do most everything the wrench can do? The teeth help grip things including fasteners. Or is it “right tool for the right job”? The idea that you can tighten fasteners with pliers but it is more likely to round off the heads? Whereas the wrench is a better tool for fasteners and the pliers are good for gripping things?

I’m asking because I’m trying to build an EDC tool kit and have seen a lot of people using the wrench but very few using the pliers. Curious if it is necessary to have one or the other or both.

Awesome sheaths....i just got into Knipex tools. I have the XS and the 5 inch for edc. They are great.
