Knipex Pliers Wrench - 86-05-250 - Made in Germany 

Your review just cost me over a hundred bucks for the 10" and 7" model, and earned a subscriber! Thanks!

This is brilliant, I've never liked adjustable wrenches but this design is genius, I may have to buy 1 of these knipex pliers

Great review! Another important point here is, that this wrench has a 10x leverage! This is really a game changer

Also great for inserting roll pin punches in a more controlled fashion than using a hammer

I've been using this same tool, and the 6 inch version for years. one of my go to tools. I work as an electrician in a bottling plant- so these are used hard, and often.

Even if the fastener is tight those pliers will work just fine. I've used my 300mm set up to 100ft pounds, I know for sure. They didn't even flinch. I also have used the 250mm and 300mm as a squeeze for flush rivets on aircraft. These are the only tools I tell everyone that if they are an adult they need.

I have one of these - one of my absolute hands-down best tools ever. No question.

I don't know if I would ever use them while working on my cars but at work for hydraulics and plumbing these are an absolute must.

Beautiful tool. I use it to bend things back into shape more than anything else. You know knipex engineers put a lot of thought into there tools

This is one or my favorite tools and I've gotten several people to buy them after they've seen my use them. 100% worth the money.

Finally ordered these Pliers. They seem to be in a class of their own. Nice review my friend!

You have totally sold me on Knipex. Damn they make great tools. Along with Wera and Wiha I will never go back. Your videos are absolutely top notch. Keep it up!!

wow...knipex is so professional on mechanics of material and metallurgy

finally ! great review as allways , imo one of the best tool company out there

Some of the best hand tool ever made! Im surprised that this not in every workshop, etc.

I'm so glad you tested on brass. I hate dealing with flare fittings and csst fittings that someone chowdered to fuck with channellocks

Love your videos man! I'm in the process of putting together my tool set and I'm trying to save money and stay off the tool truck. Your videos have helped me so much! Thanks man!

I just got my today thanks for you reviews they are so helpful keep posting

The Knipex Pliers Wrench is a strong contender for the most used tool in my entire toolbox. I have the 10 and the mini. I'd say the mini gets the most use of all!

Just discovered the pliers wrench the other day. Your review was helpful. Think I've made my decision to invest in a couple of pairs in different sizes. Thanks!

This tool and the largest ones are now on order.

Whatever steel they use is amazing. I've done things with them that should have destroyed them and they look like new. Great review as usual sir!

Just bought them, can't wait to use them, thanks for the review!

omg yes. i want these! I absolutely HATE adjustable wrenches. it drives me nuts when you tighten down, clamo down, and it loosens up

Thanks for this great video! I just recently got a pair and your reviews were some of the most informative and influential. I haven't used it much yet but it's a big upgrade over an adjustable wrench. I never really liked using adjustable wrenches. The pointed part of the lower-jaw channel of a 12" one even hit me in the forehead; fortunately not my eye. I was working under a deck and it slipped while I was pulling hard. The only advantage I can think of for an adjustable wrench is that it can be used like a nut driver. I wouldn't want to use the pliers wrench like that.

I bought mine off a tool truck as a combo deal with a pair of knipex cobras. I thought "I'll probably never use these" I use them way more than the cobras I bought the combo for. They are my go to tool.

Had to get a set of these. Reoccurring joke between me and my old man, I can not stand crescent wrenches. I just don't have the patience for them, where that's all my dad uses.

Great video! This tool is high on my list.

one Cobra pliers and one pliers wrench coming in the mail because of this vid - nice work

Excellent review and demonstration! Thanks.

This thing replaces literally every wrench you need. It's great

Great pliers company. Love all my Knipex tools.

I didn't know that it's useful for sheet metal. I want it so am watching. yeah thank you for the nice review.

Knipex wrench and knipex cobra the best in world knipex lineman's pliers so Germany TOOLS The best quality and strong tools 💪💪💪 lenghts here from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

U r the very best bro, we share the same passion for good craftsmanship ,thank u

This tool will be going into my tool-box soon.

Knipex actually specifies a maximum jaw clamping force of 1 metric ton for this 250mm model. Thats 2204 pounds - if you can squeeze the handles with 220 pounds.

These are nice, well made tools. Not sure you need them for your applications. You could use a ratcheting socket wrench or a ratchet wrench to tighten down the vice. You could also use that vice to straighten up that piece of sheet metal. All superior to the Knipex tool you use in the video. I appreciate the video though.

I didn't know about this tool what a great tool T.T.... your review always great loud, vivid, and detailed !!

GREAT review. I have one of these are I did not really get the ratcheting action, I do now. Thanks!

Just bought a pair myself There are a few setbacks. Firstly they will not work with a pipe if you need more leverage or you'll tear the handle rubber. The bigger issue , They are not as easy to set the size with one hand as the adjustable even with practice. Which if you think about will come up if your using them for anything that isn't in a fixed position. Great tool just don't throw away your adjustable.

Very thorough review.

One of my favorite pliers. Alto I broke one. I tried to loosen a very tight nut and broke off the adjustable teeths...

excellent review; covered all the points. And the ratcheting aspect feature, twice. ;) About the straightening feature, it works nicely to straighten out bent nails back to usability.

I just bought a set of Tekton wrenches but now I’m considering returning them and just buying one of these 😱

Got the 4pc set, these things are great, use them everyday on the job doing HVAC work.

Really like my Knipex 86 05 250T

I have that same Bicentennial Michigan Plate.

I would love to see a review on the Knipex Swedish Pipe Wrench which comes in several sizes. I am a subscriber but could not find your input on it. Thanks for the Great Videos!

very useful video thanks!

This is one of the most valuable tools one can have. PS. Why are you tightening things in a backwards manner? :P

I just bought some to bring with me to the alignment rack at work to adjust toe one Cars and so I don't have to try and remember or look up which size the lock nuts and so on are. They haven't come in the mail yet so I'm still waiting to see how they perform.

i found these on the Mac website and purchased them. What sucks is that i thought Mac was the manufacture of these pliers not realizing they were Knipex. I paid $78.00 on Macs web store! After some further research i could have paid around $45.00 on Zoro…oh well i guess i paid for the Mac stamp on the side:)

Where have these been all my life?

Hand seamers are a lot more convenient than a wrench for flattening sheet metal. Just saying, other than that good video. I am now considering buying some of these.

Is Knipex the only brand that has this mechanism? It is awesome.

Great review! Those Knipex pliers have alot of really cool innovation to them. Amazon lists them at $59.99 though, so probably not going to see the inside of my tool box until either my Irwin adjustable or Channel lock pliers fall apart on me. Also, and yes I know it's pretty nitpicky of me, but I was a bigger fan of their old solid red design. This new coloring would just make me think "Oh, need to get the Disney pliers for this one." Looks like a good tool though. Thank you for uploading!

Shit!...i wasn't going to buy this wrench but after your review I got to have this NOW!!!

Nice one! I've been looking for proof that this is a good tool and a worthy addition to my tool box so mission accomplished! I have quite a few other Knipex tools so know their excellent quality. BTW, I think it's pronounced Knipex like knife in english.

what is the jaw open capacity?thx

Do you know the capacity of those pliers?

Nice tool, gotta love a well engineered thing. Expensive, but I just had to go buy one. Too useful not to own.

Pricey but definitely worth the extra money. I have the regular grips on mine. I wish this review would've mentioned something about the comfort grips as a point of comparison. Great video though.

Plastic coated or comfort grips... which do you prefer having used both?

great review can you please review more klien or knipex tools thanks your reviews makes me want to go buy the tools you review god job

So I have a question for you. First of all, I'm absolutely sold on the brand. Knipex is the holy grail of pliers. But back to the question. Pliers wrench or cobras? I am an automotive technician, and considering they both have ratcheting action and smooth jaws, how do you pick between the two?

nice..

so , these or the raptors?

Sold

for around the house general purpose use what do you guys find more useful these or the raptor pliers

Hummmm corect me if I'm wrong. I can't stop but thinking about that wracheting motion. If you let go the force on the handle, the jaws will slightly open, allowing for a free reverse/wracheting movement. If you let go the force on the handle has you're tightening, should not the jaws also slightly open? If this is the case, it means that you will have to hold both handles with a good grip to prevent the jaws from opening as you are tightening or loosening, something you don't have to do with a regular adjustable wrench. If you're in a bad position where you can't hold on both handles or need a lenght of pipe on the handles for extra tork, this won't work. I can see this tool replacing a regular channel lock plier, but I would keep my adjustable wrenches. Does this make sense?

These pliers are selling for $120 in Australia

Wow! Your videos are very informative and well-done. Either you work from a script or you are naturally excellent at staying on topic and covering things in depth! I'd never heard of Knipex before your videos, now I can see how excellent they are. I do have a question: What are the pros/cons/differences between the Pliers Wrench and the Raptor? Would you consider doing a short video on the differences and which would work better for different applications? Thanks, Subscriber Michael

COOL

hey brother. I own over 20 Knipex pliers. i have the pliers wrench in 4 different sizes. its alitttle pricey but well worth it. they make the best pliers in the world. yes the best.

مسلسل رائع

Just an FYI The Word is Pronounced Ka nipex K in German is Pronounced Ka as is Klein is German as is Kleinschmidt Just Sayin !

Great vid you should check out a RU-vid channel tools in action

or you can use a ratcheting wrench

If only it locked

All you need to know about these is they’re rated 4.8/5 on Amazon. With nearly 1000 reviews

Nothing really new about these... they've probably been around over 20 years now. A little pricy, yes, but considering their forged construction not bad. They're very much more versatile than they appear, open up a lot of doors, and grow on you with time... but care must be exercised for use on softer and/or thin wall fittings... they have much more compressive mechanical advantage than other pliers and can crush or deform delicate stuff. (Especially the larger pairs.) I lost one pair, and replaced them through that online 'prime' gimmick outfit. The replacement pair had a 'tight' spot in their adjustment that didn't become irritating till after the return period expired... went to the Knipex website, jumped through a hoop or two and they replaced them. It's been a while, but if I recall correctly, I did have to pay to ship the tight pair to the midwest. The 10"(250mm) pair is by far my most used, next the 6"(150mm)... have two pair of those, one's dedicated to my desk. Have a large pair as well, 16" or so, that doesn't see a lot of use, but has 'saved the day' on a few occasions. Pretty sure they're also made in some other sizes... but those 3 well suit my needs; as always, your mileage may vary.

“K-nip-ix” or “nye-pex”

Kuh nipex

Um, the 'k' is definitely silent.

lol k..nipex is said nipex silent k lmfao

I the think the k is silent man lol

You will note that this reviewer simply fixes on with the Knipex without any demonstration of the horrible adjustment procedure. He has already adjusted in advance to avoid showing the main disaster of the Knipex mechanism. The massive travel of the jaws makes closing the handles impossible for optimum use. You then have to slacken off the jaws and simply guess the final lock position of the handles whilst placing a sufficient grip on the fastener. Knipex pliers wrench is not a solution. Poor.

It's pronunciation is nipex not ker-nipex, do you say kernowledge or knowledge?

Its pronounced *"nipe-ex"*

Pronounced Nipex! K is silent I cringed every time
