I’m happy to support a company that works so hard to innovate in their tools rather than just copying existing designs. The cobras are also one of my favorites, along with their wire strippers.

I'm Master electrician in three states with 16 years in various roles in the trades, 13 as licensed electrician, 9 years as Journeyperson/Master; I couldn't agree more about the Cobras- even the red handle dipped version is super comfortable. A more experienced fellow sparky let me borrow his pair of Cobras a handful of years ago and I've never gone back. They're light, the push button mechanism works really well, the dual angles and the serrated pattern of the inside face of the jaws are so effective. If they have ever slipped off a pipe or fitting, it's because of user error. I use them daily and they have stood up to the test of time and weather as I am often working outside; they show some wear but they function exactly as they did out of the box. Cheap tools work for newbies and cheapskates but eventually they will pay the price for not using a better engineered tool. It only takes one time where your big box store cheapo pump pliers slip off a flitting you're trying to tighten and your elbow slams into an old soldered joint in a cold water line, knocks it loose to create a pinhole in the solder and now you need to call a plumber, your day is shot, and you or your company is losing $$$ by the second. BUY GOOD TOOLS AND DO GOOD WORK.

I like watching Americans that appreciate the quality of Knipex tools.

Check the Knipex Nexstrip Multitool. Being an electrician i use it almost every day. For the wire stripper i gotta say nothing beats the Jokari.

my boss gave me a pair of the 7 inch pliers wrench and they havent left my pocket since, they've done me more favors than any multi tool ever has.

I love my 22 inch Cobras. If a plumbing fitting fights me I never have seen them fail me and huge 4 inch pipes not an issue for them

[coolbugfacts]

Another fantastic thing about the cobras and pliers wrench is you don't need to squeeze them, they get clamping pressure just from the top handle

[jackmclane]

The comfort grips are the same plastics as the VDE. So it is also the same insulation. It is just not certified. And it does not have the higher barriers so that it is easier to slip and touch a metal part in the front.

Great video and tools, I love the knipex tools, I have a lot of them, including scissors,
utility knife, pipe cutters. The little stepcut cable shears are my favorite too.

loving all the videos, upgrading all my tools to knipex pliers and investing in ways to save space because of your videos.

Bacho pliers are the goat for me . Can’t say anything bad about the knipex cobra though except in tight spaces I don’t like the button on the side. I’m a spark though so don’t know if plumbers get the same issues😅

Your #2 selection... the little shears. I have those, which I got to replace a pair of the regular non-toothy little shears. These things cut like nobody's business, but they do have one restriction - they're kind of just for cutting. The non-toothy ones I would use for stripping cable and larger conductors (#8 and up until they won't fit in the jaws) and it worked fantastic. The toothy one can't fit as big a conductor when you're coming at it side-on... you have to slide it over the cut end of a big cable. So I love the toothy ones for cutting cable, but I love the non-toothy ones for breaking down and stripping cable.

I have a couple of the Alligator ones and they are nice. I have a couple of the Doyle knock off Cobra style pliers from Harbor Fright and they are nice and work well.

[nathanaelworthy]

No experience with these whatsoever, but if love to see you test some of the above suggestions, as well as maybe the knipex siphon pliers and hose clamp pliers perhaps?

[craigbraswell]

The strippers' head is AMAZING for pulling wire, I actually lobe the head design personally. I own a slew of knipex tools and kleins. The knipex on average is a much better tool. Other techs ask me why I buy such expensive hand tools and I tell them that I use them everyday, so why not?. Buy a tool for life, not a year or 2.

I have none of these and I'm still alive and kicking
