The Knipex Twin Grip pliers have really surprised me and become a tool that has a spot on my truck now. After their performance on several jobs this month with bolts that needed held in tight spaces and others with heads down in tough locations and things, I think Ill have a use for these well into the future. The two component handles are also very nice on your hands when applying torque while using them straight into a bolt head.

I think I'm going to have to get a pair of those--that dual grip on the end is unique. Thanks for showing those to us and telling us about them!

@robertperry2079 2 года назад

These pliers are great , they are also great for clamps, those squeeze types found on garbage disposal lines, dishwashers and the those on car hoses, also fantastic for the uses described in this video

@derKarl_stp 2 года назад

I got them when they were in our shop the first time... and I love them... have them in my pocket all the time at work and used them often, especially to grab torn out screw heads on wood and metal screws 🤗 the fact that you can adjust the size makes them pretty handy... however on smooth round stock and harder pins the only better ones are the engineer pliers from Japan... got a nice set of them as well... but for regular daily use at work... KNIPEX for the win

@csimet 2 года назад

Been a long time since I felt the need for a new plier... and this is it. I just got one and it will find a home in my everyday repair bag-o-tools. (Same goes for the Raptor Pliers)

@mikecurtis1111 Год назад

One of the main benefits with the end grip is the ability to grab onto and remove screws with broken or stripped heads as long as there are exposed threads

@Engineerboy100 2 года назад

Nice video, thanks fir posting, I just ordered a pair, they get here tomorrow, can't wait lol 😀

@MillisConstruction 2 года назад

Awesome! My only hope is that they also make these in more sixes. I could use some smaller ones for the little annoying screws that strip out.

@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 2 года назад

I have big hands and love comfort grip handles on my Knipex. If I had smaller hands, the krinkly-texture red sleeve/dip handles would be better.

@andrewcrossman2165 Месяц назад

Get the vampliers set too , the knipex is limited on some of the smaller sizes. As an electrician are running into this problem constantly. The cheap Chinese screws, that strip out/ and a very expensive home. ⚡️

@WYOMINGBEN 2 года назад

I carry the 6" Vampliers in my pocket everyday, they cut wire and are the small version of this and weigh nothing. 6" Vampliers and Milwaukee Pocket knife with the flip out screwdriver is always on me and way better than any heavy multitool. 6" Vampliers are the Best pliers to remove stripped out screws. These Knipex would be nice in a bag or tool box if you are dealing with larger nuts and bolts. These Knipex would be the perfect farmers pliers if they cut wire. These may be the best mechanics pliers ever, that is where I think they would shine.

@k4yr4d 2 года назад

I have the Engineer nejisaurus 6" (exactly the same tool as the vamplier) and it's helped me out of a bind quite a few times. I really don't like the grip and handle on it though. I don't like the squared off shape it has and I hate that the rubber of the handle extends past the steel. I'm looking forward to trying the knipex when the prices drop.

@WYOMINGBEN 2 года назад

@@k4yr4d I wrapped my handles with hockey stick tape, mostly so they don't slip out of the pliers pocket on the side of my pants when I'm driving but it also improved the squared off shape of the handles. The more the hockey stick tape frays, the grippier the handles get.

@wayward-saint 7 месяцев назад

@@k4yr4dwas going to comment that vampliers are just rebranded engineer combination pliers +$10 middleman fee. Solid made in Japan tools.

@thomasgiaquinto1099 2 года назад

Take a look at engineer pliers, they make the Vamp pliers but also have same pliers under the engineer name. They have a green handle, Vamp has the red. They are both touted as scre removal pliers. I bought the lineman version and they got me out a few tight spots. I also just got the knipex twin grip. Have to saw they were worth the wait.

@MillisConstruction 2 года назад

I waited so long on these twin grips that KC Tool gave me a $10 store credit for the wait lol. Never had that happen before 😅 Have to say I’m impressed though! Especially on larger odd shaped fasteners.

@georged1085 6 месяцев назад

I just ordered a set with one of the plier wrenches, cobras, and twin grips. Hoping my first knipex purchase impresses me, I really love my Klein needle nose and linesmans

@scottrush7256 2 года назад

I purchased a pair of these a month ago and returned them. They were machined poorly, with one part of the tip being very thin. The other thing I noticed was the misalignment in the closed position. I have more than a dozen knipex pliers and really love them. Probably just got a bad pair.

@BL-yj2wp 2 года назад

I've noticed that issue with the uneven grind in many of the videos about these particular pliers. I don't think it matters too much in practice, but it's just not very nice to see in this price class. They probably wanted to get these to market as quickly as possible because of the sky high demand, let's hope future batches will be better.

@alexyu6928 2 года назад

Slip joint pliers are not as tight because the two handles need room to slip past each other. Even the jaws might not be perfectly align when in use the jaws grab onto the screw head or nut tight. As far as one jaw is slightly thinner than other I would agree that looks ugly but again it doesn't affect the performance of this pliers. I carry a pair of Engineer screw extraction pliers for small screws and Knipex for anything the Engineer couldn't handle.

@erincook6007 Год назад

I only use the vampliers “brute” four small stuff like #6-8 screws that I snap the heads off of cause I drilled my pilot hole to small and used an impact. The twin grips is a better general purpose plier in my opinion.

@jasonstorie8740 2 года назад

Man I love them, I do have the vampliers and I do like those but the twin grip have the opposing teeth like the cobras so they will clamp down on a pipe I am an appliance technician and installer and they also work great with squeeze clamps because of the groove In the front.

@chowderwhillis9448 2 года назад

Vampires Brute (the black mini pair) are pretty darn amazing, used a pair to dismantle a tamper proof elevator cab so we could service it and they worked incredibly and weren’t very expensive I must’ve paid around $40 for them and they’re very very light

@betfig3804 Год назад

I just ordered myself a pair. Not sure if I'll use it much. But I'm sure it'll come in handy once in a while.

@Seedthedrummer 2 года назад

I use both the knipex twin grip & the vampliers for screw extraction, I own various sizes for the smaller stripped screws, they all have their own purposes and are very useful. Definitely worth investing in Vampire tools. I dig the spring loaded pliers 👌

@brandonthompson8413 Год назад

The Brand Engineer makes Vampliiers and you can get Engineer Pliers for about Half the Price of Vampliers. THe only difference is the handle color. Engineer's are green. I have 4 Pairs of Engineers in various sizes and configurations in my collection now. Absolutely great pliers. Have a pair of Knipex Twin Grip's on the way.

How is your experience with it so far?

@boothbrave 2 года назад

I got the “engineer”version of the vampliers. So far I found that the knipex slipped a bit more then the engineer pliers. Though the knipex can hold a larger fastener. I love the comfort grip but they either take up too much room in my veto tp5 or don’t fit in their pockets well.

@MillisConstruction 2 года назад

I agree on the handles, I really like how compact the slick handles are, as far as I know though the twin grip only comes in the textured version or the comfort grip and the textured version I just really don’t like the feel of for some reason as well as the clean ability of it, I kind of thought too with the weird grips these are good at that more leverage in the hand might be a good thing?

@stuarttthomas7847 2 года назад

Truth

@jeffwolf8018 9 месяцев назад

You need the style of pliers for every time you try to get that screw I don't care how big or small it might be out these are going to get it done. You might need two pairs one pair for the front side and one pair for the backside of it. I like them far better than the vampires I have. I even have two pairs of comfort grip and a regular handle. I got the comfort grip second and to have two pairs of them. Even though the vampires will come in a second pair and do the same functions for the most part.

@Hazan1fan Год назад

Great screw extraction, for screws with STRIPPED heads

@three-phase562 2 года назад

I have always used mole grip (vice grip) pliers for awkward screw extraction. You can even get mole grip pliers with the cut out in the end like the Knipex to aid with this. Looking at them, the notch in the end of the Vamplier looks to be wider than the Knipex, pretty expensive to get a set to play with though.
