The new Knipex multitool has , without a doubt the best screw cutting function ever ! They have basically put my Lineman’s pliers into retirement !
@@chrisfyfe9212 no kidding! I am loving them. I think I have 3 pairs now lol
@@MillisConstruction I still love the original Pliers for electrical installation ( kinda like a big pair of needle nose’s that are useful ) , the cutting power is off the freaking charts !
I really love mine , I usually carry mine in the leg pocket of my work pants . I truly love both pliers .
Love your videos. As for cutting live cables, everyone's done it, but not everyone admits to it. I bout 2 pairs of knipex 250 mm cobras after watching your video, much better than the old ones I had that keep slipping
Sing it loud Brother , love me some Knipex ! The Electrical installation pliers , and new strippers are very , very cool !
You’re most welcome. I love mine as well.
Yessir they do make spring handle pliers with the screw cutters in VDE 1000vac insulated version
13 96 200
That’s the model number above. Good videos you have. Loving the channel.
Yes my guy yes! I just spent 300 bucks on all new knipex tools. Literally cannot beat them. 🤗
That’s a nice haul!! What did you get?
With 6 and 8 32 , I now only buy 2” , game changer !
I Live in Belo Horizonte, Brazil! Thank You for vídeo.
You’ve sold me wera ratchet sets, wera screwdrivers, knipex wrenches but you will not replace my handy little Klein tool wire stripper. Great content! Best tool salesman in the game.
Haha! You have to use what you enjoy 😊
The Multitool - Uber stripper has now become my default “ Lineman” pliers , that said , I still love pliers for Electrical installation !
Could you link this multitool Uber stripper you're talking about? Tried a google search with no luck...
I’ve found I carry the Stripper in a belt sheath , and the Electrical installation pliers ride in my Veto . Both are great tools . I use a lot of Wago lever nuts , so both of these tools save me from having to schlep a Lineman’s plier . Guess it just depends on what mood I’m in ! I personally prefer the comfort grip. In a pinch I slide large rubber washers onto the handles and improvise a Ghetto VDE handle . Not totally Kosher , but it saves a trip back to the gang box . Both are Gamechangers for me !
Man I get roasted every time I mention Wagos on the channel 😅 but that’s what’s in the front of my TP veto bags especially their larger ones for multiple wires.
@@MillisConstruction I’ve never had an issue with them , by way of contrast , I’ve opened many boxes over the years , and had Marretts come off and shake hands with me . Our European friends think they are knee slappingly funny . The push fit ones , I have some reservations about . I saw video of a test carried out in England where an instructor ran them up to 154 amps , at 220 , and at that point the plastic melted . I use the 221’s ( the ones rated up to 10 AWG , and 450 volts , the manufacturer has tested them to 650 ish , and all kinds of other Mayhem ! Wago makes terminal strips , used extensively in the railway industry . Nuff said !
4:40 Simple: Remove the spring. On my Milwaukee, I removed the spring and lock. Remember: We also have to invent
Hi you, greetings from Finland. love the way you like exatly same tools that i do.
keep up the good presentations,looking forward new ones. Only complaint switch up to metric
i mean whole US
We’re pretty hard headed about that one I think 😅
Thanks for being here!
I have knipex for plumbing but not electrical
I have a mix of milwaukee, klein, greenlee, and GB in my electric pouch
I prefer these slim red coated handle. If I need any insulated tool, I use them with insulated gloves.
A year and change on , I still love both of those tools ! At least as far 14 2 is concerned , the Super strippers totally outperform my Knipex Lineman pliers , I haven’t used them much on 12 2 . I nearly had a fit , I thought I’d lost my pair , ( just misfiled in the Veto ) ! Basically now the only reason I schlep Lineman Pliers , is out of sentiment , and as a Badge of Office !
These strippers are hands down the best Iv ever used better than Klein so comfortable and strips like butter good tools make you faster
I use the Knipex shears to strip wires. Klein linesman pliers for most everything else
Klein makes some very nice linesman’s for sure!
Sweet!
Seems the veto Wheeler would be perfect for you. Great videos as usual!
I agree! I’ve been eyeing that one for awhile now.
"angry pixies" are tough on cutting edges 😎

I wouldn’t have thought that this tool hasn’t enough crimping force.
I was checking these out, when I ended up getting the Milwaukee 7 in 1 for the fatter nose to grasp and bend things, but you might actually like the Milwaukee 6 in 1 with the thinner nose on it.
The cutting area of the 7 in 1 is wider for reaming, super sharp, and the grips are nice & full so if you want to bend or yank on things they you can get a substantial grip.
There's also not the slightest hint of play in the rivet, they feel "German" in quality that way and the grips are a really nice texture sort of like the Knipex comfort grip but a little fatter.
Really clean bite & pull on the wire stripper part without cutting any copper strands.
Milwaukee hand tools are garbage compared to Knipex lol.
@@Tre16 Unless you've actually used the Milwaukee 7 in 1 to know what your talking about...you're garbage for making uneducated comments.
I own a bunch of Knipex
You are the Smartest Southern Boy , I’ve ever met ! ( I come from as far South as you can go without an Ice breaker ( New Zealand ) .
I’d love to someday make it down there, both there and Australia are on my list 😊
@@MillisConstruction Me too , at present , I live in Canada !
Carry them both!
Can’t go wrong that way 😎👍🏻
I also ran into one of these houses that the electricity was supposed to be all turned off until it burned a hole through my lineman pliers. After that the crew called me sparky
How do you find a Knipex plier for holding a cutting edge? MY Kleins have held one for years, is Knipex equal?
Mine is mostly knipex and milwaukee with some stanley... Alla but stanley are cutting like a knife cuts butter
Nice video and nice tools, but for electricians (most electricians here in Europe) we MUST use 1000v insulated tools for our life (pliers, screwdrivers, and other tools when we touched wire live or not live we sometimes don't know..)
I use them anytime there’s any concern about something being turned back on or on any sketchy systems. Better safe than sorry!
I wonder why the installation pliers are more $$$ then the forged wire strippers. Kind of interesting you’d think it would be the other way around
I have milwaukees with the wider jaw kind of a combo of stripper and linesman so you dont have to pickup a different tool.
Its ok you dont have to explain its happened to all of us lol, zap!
Second year of apprenticeship. Still not got electrocuted or cut live wires. Ive come super close though 😂😂
What would be the best Knipex pliers to cut MC or Flexible Metal Conduit?
The forged strippers cut it pretty nicely in my experience.
@@MillisConstruction Ok cool thanks.
That sweet sweet German steel... Heavy in the bag though 😂
Yes it is! They’re actually sending me tools this week, first company to actually do that 😁
@@MillisConstruction congratulations🥳😍🥳😍🥳
Excellent news Josef ; you've found your niche! You are a good storyteller and understand why people invest in premium tools.
" It actually has burnt jaws on it...... ok, I was working in a house 🏠." Haha, yes. We must know.
Oh man! Old houses can be interesting! 😅🔥
13 72 8 Best!!!!
As an electrician, I prefer the wide grip for twisting cables. Shame it doesn't come in 1000v grip
It does
13 96 200
@@davereed6612 that's a narrow grip. I said wide grip
I have tried every hybrid combo strippers from every brand, Klein (multiple), Southwire, Ideal, etc but the knipex forged wire cutters are NO JOKE...that blade can cut throigh 12/3 MC with NO EFFORT, it's a friggin' JOKE! Never will I use another type of stripper/combo pliers....Actually, I have changed all my hand tools slowly to Knipex bc they are just the best...And Wera for Screw drivers (of course!)
They’re incredible! I’ve pretty much done the same thing. I do need to try some other German brand things too though, Gedore, Stahwille etc I bet there’s a lot of unsung greats in those too
I have my TP XXL ordered !
I wonder how long they’ll take to get?
@@MillisConstruction Soon I hope , I got my tool carrying lessons , back in the eighties/ early nineties , working Toronto highrises, underground parking only . My tool carry of choice was Platt Pallets , in a Pelican case ! I really like the Veto , glorified Shoulder holster concept ! Good in tight spaces( Elevators ) .
Just got the notification that Tech Tool Supply just shipped mine 😎
I’m doing a lot of elevator riding these days now with this new hotel contract too. Forced me to get that shoulder strap back on it
@@MillisConstruction Very Cool , us in the PRK ( People’s Republic of Kanuckastan ) always suck hind tit !
@@MillisConstruction Hotels are scary Chit , companies I worked for always had a bitch of a time getting paid ! You being a heavily armed Southern Boy , may do better !
I've had mine about 3 months now,I believe they are sharp enough for the mafia to use when people don't pay debts,but mine don't spring open anymore.Anybody else have that problem?
You might want to send Knipex an email on that directly. They’ve been really good about getting back to me about warranty things.
@@MillisConstruction alright,thanks
The fat one is better for me, if i need any narrow plier, i just use my leatherman
Which leather man do you like?
just grind the new pliers' beak down on your bench grinder to replicate the beak shape of the older tool.
I use Southwires heavier duty products only. The heavy weight of them seem to be easier on my hands when cutting.
The crimping area is mostly intended for European ferrules !Not much force needed !
Ya I never thought of that. Good point.
You need a utility cart.
Might need the new rolling veto bag 🤔
Oh great I'm gonna have to spend at least $50😎💸😎💸😎
😜 💰
@@MillisConstruction I wasn't far off, looked it up and it was just over $51, couldn't find the one with the wider jaws though😟🤔😟 I think that's the one for me, I've got about 10 wire strippers from Wiha, Klein, and Southwire, but I don't have any Knipex ones yet😥
I added it to the description also. For some reason that link didn’t get there 😅
@@MillisConstruction thanks will check it out🧰🧰🧰
This is a handy man, that’s far too equipped
I wish they has a chrome set. Why? I live in a humid climate. Even yours are slightly rusted. Yes, of course, we should oil our tools. I'm just being realistic.
Niiiiiiiiiiiipex
I pronounce it the way Knipex has asked that it be said. They even released a shirt in their merch shop to demonstrate the pronunciation. Kuh-Nip-Ex
Here’s a link to where I showed the shirt: ruclips.net/video/Hl801lB4Mqc/видео.html
Then the power wasn't off to the entire house .
Clearly not 😅
You definitely look tired in this video compared to your other videos
totally useless...next advertisment please
