Little Knipex Cobra 125 Pliers Pushed to the Limit 

Gets the award of "least clickbait-y thumbnail and of understatement"... Great tool too !!!

Those little pliers are nuts!!!!!

Excellent video and testing, love the knipex Cobras!

i just ordered one because i saw your video.. thank you for the review. i really need this since i'm a maintenance worker of a hotel here in the Philippines..

I'm so glad to see you applying counter torque to the torque wrench head. That's the way I was taught to use a torque wrench in the Navy. It drives my OCD crazy to see RU-vidrs using torque wrenches without holding the head of the wrench!

Amazing! Thank You for this video! I just went and bought one on Amazon now.

Interesting demonstration, thanks for the video. I carry the 180s everywhere i go.

Knipex simply makes some of the best pliers in the world. I still want to buy that cheater bar. :)

Damn! Thanks for tearin' up nuts!!

I never go outside without my cobra 125 , its always with me because i love this pliers 🤟

Would love to see this test with the Knipex pliers wrench

Hmmmm. Excellent. Pliers wrench test?

Wow incredible

Wow, unbelievable 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

wow amazing

How do the teeth look on the cobras? I has a pair of chrome, Comfort grip 10” cobras that had a few of the top teeth flatten servicing a 1/2” gas line. They were 2 months old. Knipex replaced them I had to pay for shipping.

Wow the little guy that could!

Wow impressive

Just added the XL 400mm cobra to my knipex drawer. Now to save up for the 560mm XXL. Great test

Dang that small pliers is as hard as thors hammer 😅

You could try as a torque test a bottle of old cough medicine where the syrup has crystalized in the cap thread and it has a child-proof cap. Whilst coughing, I used multigrips to unscrew the cap and it was still useable later.

I carry the 10" alligator pliers every day as a plumber

what do you think about the 100mm cobra xs?

well, that's all fine and dandy if you use the wrong tools for a particular job. I imagine any tool will eventually fail, break, or cause damage if it's the wrong one

Nice.

Flexing at 150ft is a good sign good quality pliers

👍

Teeth are holding up well?

Hiw did you make the cheater bar

*"..tearing up deez nutz just a little bit too much.."*

Why shake it up? As long as you are shaking it, you can't tell whether the reason for the loosening was the length of the handle or not.

How limited cobra xs?

I want 1... But here too expensive..

What size Knipex Cobras do you recommend for every day portability?

Luckily they make bigger ones xD

The inconsistent force you're applying when you loosen the nuts at the higher torque values results in peak torque amounts that are far higher than the torque value you set with the torque wrench. You'd never use a torque wrench by shoving it. You do what you did: you pull slowly and consistently. What you're doing is like trying to measure your weight on a scale while jumping up and down on it.

Yea, sure, a 12mm or something steel bolt tightened to 190Nm. I want to buy my bolts from where you're getting them. Unless that bolt was tungsten, it would had broke way before the 3rd test. I challenge you to prove me wrong! But alas, anything can be faked here, on youtube.

I neeeeed one of these. How much?!

I just don't see the point, if you're in a situation where you have to use a diy cheater bar on a pair of small pliers odds are you probably got bigger pliers lying around. I would've liked this video more if this was purely hand/upper body strength.

That's damn near abusive.

I bought them ...the 5"...They are overpriced ($30)...Channel lock GL6 is just as good for less than 1/2 price ($11.95) and easier to adjust...

downvote for the clickbait thumb
