My first pair. Very well made: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ZCekQHv.jpg) I'll probably be getting other Knipex products in the future.

They make some wire cutters that are the industry standard for livestock fencing.
Good stuff.

Those are a specialty tools for the Electrical Industry. For installing and removal of mini wedge connectors, gained a following as Channel Locks.

Good stuff. These are the best when cutting barbed wire out from around a vehicle drivetrain. I heartily recommend Knipex.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Damn good hand tools.
I have a few of them, next trip to the tool store I'm getting the side cutters and needle nose pliers.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

I keep a pair of their compact bolt/wire cutters in a pocket of my upland vest, in the event my dog gets caught in a coyote snare.
Not inexpensive, but I know they'll do the job.
They were highly recommended by members over on the gun dog forum.

Bought my old man a set for Christmas a few years ago. Haven't splured on myself as my channel locks are doing OK.

Some of my fellow techs use Knipex. They're nice. I can't bring myself to since I'm from PA I'm loyal to Channellocks

Carry a pair of the micros in my pocket everyday for work. Oh...now that is handy! I could definitely use a pair of those. Thanks for that, just ordered a set from an ebay seller for au $56. Sold here as "Knipex Cobra XS 100mm Multigrips or Waterpump Pliers 87 00 100". Where did you get the black plastic bit to hold the handles together?

I have the one in your picture and will get a larger version too. They're the best channel lock plyers for unscrewing nuts or bolts with rounded off corners.

Off the floor at work. 😂 It comes on hard hydraulic lines we buy.

I have some of their products. Wonderful stuff.
Pricey...only cry once though.
