I work as a maintenence technician for apartments and I can truthfully say that those twin grips from knipex are one of the best engineered pliers I have ever used, second only to the knipex pliers wrench
same I work on aircraft and stuck screws are so common its ridiculous these things are the best pliers i have ever used. and i use them for almost every thing.
Left handed drill bits are a game changer when the fastener is broken below the surface. Use a good center punch to stop them from wandering. We need another video from the show Stan! Thanks!
I'm a mobile mechanic now specializing in oilfield repair. I've owned the bolt buster for years. It's an awesome tool. Keeps me from pulling out my torch, getting a hot work permit or a fire watch. Also really handy in automotive to heat up bolts and nuts and not having to worry about damaging anything around
If only you could get established affiliate links with every single tool or machine you show lol I've literally bought a snow plow and lawnmower just because of your videos plus all of the little gadgets and tools you've shown over the years lol and I can honestly say I've been very happy with every purchase
Ah. I see three I use already - the Knipex Twin Grip pliers, Cobra, and Pliers Wrench. I've only used the Twin Grip a few times since I bought them but they were in situations where I had rounded fasteners that were rusted on top of that. Pliers Wrench works awesome on indoor plumbing connections. They don't mar up metal finishes. And the Cobra's are legendary! Got a few sizes of those. Knipex cost more but they indeed are worth it.
Darren with MillnerTools has by far the coolest products. Home Depot and Lowes need to sell those blades, they are amazing. Same with the left hand drills.
I'm a maintenance planner at a solid surface manufacturing company and will definitely look into buying some of these tools for my mechanics. Looking forward to a follow up video
@@KA-om9oz short answer is, maintenance planners estimate labor hours, parts required and give details on conducting repairs on equipment. We also order tools required for such jobs.
I wasn't too surprised to see that the knipex tools were German made, loved those tools especially that grinder/cut off wheel, went to the company website and was blown away with the price, That was a great how, liked it a lot, Thanks Stan
Thanks Stan, Thank you for all of the great videos. Merry Christmas from our house to your house, as we celebrate the single greatest event in all human history. May the full meaning of Shalom bless you and your family in the coming year. Shalom/gw P.S. by all means: Bring it on! :-))
Stanley. I own a virility of different Knipex tools. They are a little expensive but they are great tools in my opinion. You will never need another set of pliers.
In this video search heading picture it shows you laying on a bone creeper. Is that an old picture? I been trying to buy a new bone creeper and I can’t find them anymore. They are on websites but none let you follow through with orders. Do you know any info if they where at sema 2022?
After 38 yrs of life and probably 30 yrs of using hand tools , nothing I've used compares to knipex. They are expensive but if you don't lose tools they are the best money cab buy. Imo
I love Knipex pliers, I need the locking hose clamp pliers. Left hand bits have worked for me. Bought from Snap-on years ago but this had a nice twist.
I have a big set of the Knipex cobras. Honestly can't even stand standard channel locks after using them. They're my go to for everything you can't get a socket on. They work great on oil filters too after you cut them in half pounding screwdrivers through them and turning it then the screwdriver rips the filter. They don't bite in as well and do the auto locking thing on harder stuff but if you need to unscrew some natural gas pipe they'll do about as good as a pipe wrench of similar length and you could probably bite them in and put a cheater on the handle if need be.
No one’s saying it so I will, the Koken 72T ratchets have considerable more back drag than the 36T. I have a couple of each. I would stick with the 36T.
Maybe I just have really bad luck but I can’t think of a single time I’ve had left handed drill bits work for me as shown. I live in the rust belt and every single time I’ve got a fastener broken off that I need to drill it’s always broken because the threads are jammed. Wether is corrosion, cross thread, or galling, doesn’t matter a left handed bit on its own won’t help in that scenario. Still I use them just in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, one day I’ll get lucky enough to drill a fastener that the bit actually will extract on its own.
That Millner cut-off wheel was amazing, but they $150 each! I would buy one for $50, or even a pack of 5 for $150, but that's about the limit. Everything it can do can be done with a flap disk + a cut-off wheel/plasma/oxy-torch. If you work with metal, then you have all the other items.
Knipex pliers are amazing, by far my favorite brand. However the metal they’re using in that stand to demonstrate the effectiveness of the cobra pliers must not be really hard. I’ve had cobras with perfectly sharp jaws slip on really hard metal. Regardless still the best in my book!
Anyone know the wheel edge protector? I'm in Australia and he said they had representation in Sydney Australia but I have googled the crap out of it and can't find it
Gotta call out the millwakie spark plug socket. Pittsburg sells locking socket extensions and koken sells spark plug sockets with a built in extension.
It seems like a lot of those tools are user specific. The tools are not universal tools. It appears that you would have to almost try it in person before you go looking for the tool. And since you were in Las Vegas did you stop by the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop? You probably had fun while you were there. I might be getting snow this week. Watching the weather now.
