I did not expect Thomas to show up in this video! Great to see this collaboration. My only problem with KnipeXTEND is that I now want to buy a bunch of new pliers. 😅
I love it, especially that you’re essentially opening up to the community, allowing them to be creative with your products. This approach is genius for expanding your brand’s recognition. Is there any chance we’ll see comfort grips on the 125mm Cobra and the 8603125 at some point?
Hi @timkeller687, our aim is to convert all red-blue two-component handles first before we embark on the next major handle project. But stay tuned and keep an eye on our channels.
When I'm at the flea markets, I always look for an old Knipex tools. And when I'm in a hardware stores, I always look for a brand new Knipex tools. That's how good and top quality this company always is 10/10🌟 *Unbeatable* 🔝 🤜
I loved standardized extension features like this! I predict other companies will copy Knipextend. Being able to securely attach labels, lanyards, magnets, belt clips, and even a tape dispenser is AMAZING! Everyone loves Knipex, and this makes Knipex tools even cooler. Keep up the good work, team! 👏👏👏
Very interesting! I would make opening springs with a locking feature for my pliers. Imagine tools getting even more modular and being able to create your own tools like Legos for adults 😂
The 3D Printing of specialized equipment for the Best Pliers is now super easy. Great Job Knipex 👍 Maybe a tray for some crimping dies or ferules on the Plier are now possible. Or a worklight for dark environments.
I love all my Knipex tools they make all my tasks much more enjoyable to use ,and please never give up quality by sending manufacturing to China the quantity will go down very fast if that happens, Im just a home user but im very happy to pay more for very quality tools.
Yes. The company's reputation will then start to degrade rapidly. It happened to many other big companies, unfortunately.. But I think Knipex will stay loyal to their homeland production.
A KnipeXtend clip to hold the handles from spreading when not in use and out of the way when being used. It will be a while before I replace my many existing Knipex Comfort Grip tools, but I look forward to purchasing anything new with the new grip.
Would love to add a small set of pliers to the Knipex family with a split ring tooth on the end. The addition of a lanyard attach point and a cutting edge near the pivot would be stellar! It would take prized possession in my fishing tackle box ! There is a significant crossover wherever I’ve been of trades people and fishers…. And nothing else on the market is anywhere near as good as my Knipex tools.
@@darrencampbell8817 yeah, the three other new tools they introduced recently aren’t real “needs” for me… but hopefully they come out with some more stuff. These handles are a pretty neat idea though.
Many thanks for this news. I love my Cobra 125 as a tool to carry around. I can only think of one way to improve it and the Cobra family. Add a socket for 1/4" or 4 mm screw driver bits. It could also serve as a lanyard hole.
Great tools, this new handle is great. I'll wait for the VDE version. A little non contact voltage detector accessory attached to the handle would be nice. Not a new idea, but it's a possibility. I'm already using the new ratcheting cable knife, great tool. Waiting for new updates. 👍👍👍👍
The one thing missing from the Knipex lineup, are a non insulated screwdriver range. If you only carry insulated drivers, they tend to get used as hammers/chisels etc. By having both, you eliminate the dangers of your insulated drivers getting damaged and thus compromised. Wera have a good range, plenty of mechanical engineers like myself would buy a Knipex version. The green/black Wera drivers are extremely popular, and engineers like myself would buy both Knipex sets. PS The plain red handles are my favourite, as you said, so easy to keep clean. 👍
Tolles Video. Danke erstmal. Ich sammle alte Knipex Zangen und möchte gerne wissen wenn was erstellt wurde. Gibt es z.b. alte Kataloge die ich herunterladen kann ?
Hi @deSergeant1, wir bieten immer unseren aktuellen Hauptkatalog zum Download an auf www.knipex.de/service/downloads . Ausschnitte aus historischen Katalogen findest du auf www.knipex.de/unternehmen/unsere-geschichte .
Werden die VDE-geprüften Zangen für Elektroarbeiten auch mit den neuen Griffe mit dem KnipeXtend-Feature ausgestattet? Das wäre sowohl für die Nutzung der Absturzsicherung, als auch zur Werkzeugmarkierung äußerst praktisch.
Hi, vielen Dank für Deine Frage. Unser Ziel ist es, zunächst alle rot-blauen Zwei-Komponenten-Griffe umzustellen, bevor wir uns an ein nächstes großes Griffhüllenprojekt machen. Bleibe aber gern gespannt und behalte unsere Kanäle im Auge.
Please make a smaller TwinGrip! I love these pliers, and bought a pair as soon as it came out, but I would love a shorter (maybe 6") version! We've been asking for years, and every Knipex Update I keep expecting to see it, and getting disappointed.. These new handles seem great, but a smaller TwinGrip is what we really want!

If you made a version of the forged wire strippers that has the same needle nose style head as the installation pliers and can strip up to 22awg wire with the textured dipped grips from the cobra you’d have an absolute winner. But if I can’t have that then please for the love of god make the textured dip grips available on all pliers.
Can you please do the same for VDE, me and my colleague use the same pliers and cutters and he’s always pinching mine, also a retro fit spring like the ones on the flush cuts could be a good upgrade using these new grips
I would like to see a video about the two different 1000V VDE handles. Especially the double dipped one, because its naerly impossible to find any information about it. What are its (dis-) advantages compared to the 2 component 1000V VDE handle?
Hi @Rahul-gl3wc, our aim is to convert all red-blue two-component handles first before we embark on the next major handle project. But stay tuned and keep an eye on our channels.
@kleung347 All products that previously had our familiar red and blue two-component handles will gradually be upgraded to the new three-component handles. Only our electronic pliers are not affected.
Could you please make a duck bill version of your long reach needle nose pliers ( 28 71 280). I am currently using the Mac tools version P11LRDBA for long reach duck bill plier and I know if Knipex made one it would be epic. Great update and I look forward to see what further innovations Knipex comes out with in the future.
为什么要插片，还要额外增重？其实Knipex只要在手柄尾巴上开个孔，支持不同颜色的绑绳，基本也就等同于这次创新了!答案是，创新是噱头，卖插片赚钱才是真的。 Why do we need the color inserts？It just add extra weight. Actually, Knipex just needs to dig a small hole in the tail of the plier handle, to support different colors of lanyards, and that would basically be the same as this innovation! The answer is，Innovation is a gimmick, selling color insert is real business.
Honestly, don't feel happy about it. Seems like overengineering, like doing something for the sake of doing something, not for the real reason. Guess I will switch to 01 handles from now on.
Calling a extra piece calling an extra piece of overmoulding the „Highlight“ and a „Milestone“ Is in my opinion a loss of credibility on the side of Knipex.

Can you guys make a mini (6" / 150mm) pair of twin grips? Preferably with a slightly smaller notch at the tip.
Hi @spevakdesigns, cool idea. We'll check it out. 😎
@@KNIPEXofficialSeconding this request!
yes, a smaller version would be a great addition to the others!
Maybe check out the engineer pz-32's. Ive got both, they dont have the dual pivot point but they are a lot smaller and have held up well
For sure! I've been wanting mini 5" (125mm) Twin Grips since Doc from LastBestTool proposed the idea a few years back!
Great innovations.Knipex is a trendsetter in the field of pliers. The best pliers in the world💪

But I think Knipex will stay loyal to their homeland production.
Now that's a simple innovation that is so sensible, looking forward to getting some of these new handles.
I really like that belt clip idea. I'll have to pick up the twin force cutters with the new handles when available. I'd carry those every day.
Put it on the minis next so we can put keyrings
That's a cool idea. 😎😎
The time has come for the knipex multitool😊😊

Wow thats awesome. Glad to see knipex coming up with new ideas !
Knipextend is actually so clever, well done
Very cool. Good job, Knipex, as always 👍
I can't think of anything that needed improving on the 2-component grip, but I guess I'll see what's coming.
