Genuinely amazing pliers. Super tiny form factor + fine adjustments for perfect grip + ridiculously strong steel. Punches waaaaaay above its weight. It's a bit of an investment, but I guarantee you... that Cobra XS is worth it.
I love my Knipex Cobra XS pliers. I bought a custom-made leather pocket case from Cajun Leather Works on ETSY and carry them everyday in my front pocket. Don't even know they're there......until I need them!
Never take your car to any mechanic then. I can tell you from personal experience that the “Right Tool” is very subjective when you have awkward clearances. The “Right tool” is the one that works.
Cobras are great, I have a mini set too. I also have a leatherman Surge and just like I couldnt/wouldn't expect my cobra to act like a survival tool I wouldn't expect my surge pliers to act as well as the cobra at undoing bolts💁🏼♂️. Still, Cobras good in the tool box, surge on the belt👍🏻
They are great But I had to upgrade to the slightly larger size Much better for all around use and also disappear in my pocket. I recommend the slightly larger ones with the better handle
At the 1st place I worked a new guy turned up with a toolbox full of adjustables and pipe grips…… he came back in the workshop to find the adjustables welded at handy sizes and the pipe grips cut into pieces.
I carry the Milwaukee fastback every day and I have for several years now. It’s amazing how often i can just use that rather than reaching in my tool bag
One thing I hate about Knipex, their products seem like a gimmick until you actually use them. 😂 Also, no ody truly appreciates a pair of pocket pliers until you actually have them. I use mine damn near every day.
I have the Mac pliers which say knipex on them but when I use them and grip on a bolt I have to use both levers to get it to stay but you are only pushing on one side. What’s wrong with mine
This guy is recommending using pliers on nuts and bolts. What a joke. Use a socket or a wrench. All you will accomplish with this is rounding stuff off.
Well worth watching for the last 3 seconds 😂
Fuuuuuck… we’ve all been there
not all of us
So many times 😂😂
@@xl000 if you are a mechanic and work on vehicles every day, it will happen eventually.
My flare nut wrench is still down there somewhere.
Ending was the most relatable shit 😂
Ive been there. I dont use a crecent wrench to loosen a battery terminal anymore lol
Using any kind of pliers on fasteners should be a last resort. Knipex or not, they're mostly good for ruining the fastener.
Knipex DOES make a mini adjustable pliers wrench (smooth jaw)... The one in this vid is a nut rounder 😂 as is any tool with teeth...
Agreed, but if you were to only carry me around with you I think the cobras are still better because they are more versatile in a pinch.
I can wait to watch the next review of whatever tool you use to retrieve the Knipex from the engine bay.😀
He cut off the video at the end where he said, "And this is the Knipex telescoping magnetic pick-up tool...."

Use a damn hex socket or appropriate spanner, using a plumbers wrench to remove nuts and bolts is shoddy work
Agreed. Putting any pliers on a bolt or fastener like these should only be an emergency fix. That's what sockets and wrenches are for
Lol my last words on every project 😂
The quality of the steel and its durability is really amazing.

I'd be pissed if someone used pliers instead of the right tool on my vehicles.

The very Best pocket plier. 👌🏾✌🏾
You a professional nut rounder? Knipex makes mini adjustable pliers wrench without teeth...

I EDC the same combo Milwaukee/knipex but wish this had a wire cutter then they be perfect for me ...
They are great
But I had to upgrade to the slightly larger size

If knipex made a multitool 😮
At the 1st place I worked a new guy turned up with a toolbox full of adjustables and pipe grips…… he came back in the workshop to find the adjustables welded at handy sizes and the pipe grips cut into pieces.

I used these pliers and a roll of duct tape to repair my plane when I was stranded on a deserted island off the coast of Makatea.
I used sock lint as a loctite when I was stranded in Guam.
Dropping it made my day. Relatable
Not going to lie I only use em to drain the secondary coolant on 6.7PSD fits up there perfectly
Lmaoooo this is quality content right here
Thats my same EDC! The milwaukee 6 in 1 and the knipex xs cobra
Knipex has the proper adjustable tool for those jobs in the same small size, so you don't ruin the bolts.
The end is the best. 😅
LOL YES, you could get by with just these
Yeah I have one too. But I tought it was better. I stick with my cheap old mini locking plier that works better in much conditions

Last 3 seconds answers everything😂😂😂
Please don't go crazy like duck tape. Messing up all the bolt head .use 10mm wrench on that battery terminal
mm? you know what mm is your country?
Can confirm how great they are
That first part and last part 🤣
Why not use their pliers wrench???
Good video. We have all had that ending.
Never seen it. Seems fikkin great
Knipex- *Try losing these like a 10mm socket*
Mechanics- challenge accepted
I love how it turned into a 10mm at the end 😅
Butterfingers 😂🎉❤😊
Got this thing too. First I thought wtf is this thing (bought it as a gimmick), it’s too small. I am actually using it more than I thought I would.
It's never good when a tool falls into the abyss. Always waiting for the sound of whatever it was to hit the floor, if not, you in for a hunt.😂
They fit in your watch pocket on your jeans. I carry the exact same thing!!
I always thought that was a coin pocket, but never used it in that way because it didn't seem practical
@fosty. lol it was originally created for a pocket watch but as a kid I used it for change because my little fingers could easily fish it out.
I just ordered mine 😅
I have the Mac pliers which say knipex on them but when I use them and grip on a bolt I have to use both levers to get it to stay but you are only pushing on one side. What’s wrong with mine
Worlds greatest sound, you drop a tool in the engine bay but you hear it hit the ground
How much they go for ?
The absolute very first time I've seen them used
Did you say "If I want to lose them" or "If I want to loosen"?
This is me doing a promo😂
I assume my old channel locks can do all that locking stuff..
Looks like you need to drill a hole on the end and make a nice little lanyard for yourself. ;)
Didnt know the K in Knipex was silent lol
Fuck. Got me
This guy is recommending using pliers on nuts and bolts. What a joke. Use a socket or a wrench. All you will accomplish with this is rounding stuff off.
:::the office theme:::
it sucks, i love my leatherman wave, every tool is useful but it can never get bolts and that’s my biggest gripe
Did they snap when you needed it most yet?id never waste money on those ultra light duty tools
Особенно концовка - жиздненная 😅
A weatherman? 😂
Someone’s on Zack’s team 🤙🏽
amzn.to/3p49fVx
😂 They are pretty handy though
A cheap set of sockets will grip those fasteners better.
Yeah mine has failed to "grip" many many many times.
Next size up is better
Put a Wrist Strap on 'em!
3000gt?
Lost mine in a crawl space that knife with my pen light are always on me😢
Annnnndddd that’s why you don’t buy a pair of pliers that can vanish into an engine bay
or you can use the proper sockets for those bolts...
Now there's a stupid comparison. That thing doesn't do anything a decent pair of channel locks can do.
You don't have a pair do you?
Some problems are generational
Will this not round the bolts faster with that Teeth on them?
Yes. They also make one with smooth jaws too. Pliers wrench.
Man the K is silent. 🤣 🤦♂️
The 4 inch model are way better , the adjustment on them sucks .
Set of pliers, and yet it s an single item
The K is silent
Wrong tool for the job
Why TF would you even put a leatherman on such a bolt? Why? Why?????
Поржал)))
Gone 😜😜😀
Cknipex
Oopsies
I hate that part. 😊
Using the wrong tool for the job isn't 'impressive'. This is just edc masstibatisnz.
Just use the proper tool in the first place.
😂😂
Stop saying Kernipex for fcks sake, do you cut with a kernife?
Isn't that how Knipex themselves pronounces it?
Cant have nothing nice!
Does Knipex make a Kuh-nife?
its pronounced nipex
The k is silent
Gay
It's pronounced ka-nee-peks.
